Love the content, but app has issues

I love all things Dan Cummins. However, this app has been giving me issues off & on for a while now & it only seems to be getting worse. I thought it might have been my phone or other devices, but other podcast apps/players have not been giving me issues. My progress only saves occasionally & it frequently skips around episodes. Even when I tried to contact the company through the app, it would freeze up before I could send a message. I hope this things can be fixed, because I love the Bad Magic products. Thank you guys & hope this can be resolved sooner rather than later.

5 stars!!!

3 outa 5 stars, wouldn’t change a thing! (Inside joke). Best podcast ever! Dan Cummins is amazing in his delivery and content. I look forward to his weekly late day Monday posts religiously;) The first 100 were great but he really improved the format by extending the time to 2-3hours there after and I’m hooked.

Hilarious

I’ve heard of Dan Cummins before, but never really paid any attention to his standup. A few months ago I was lucky enough to stumble upon TimeSuck while listening to SiriusXM. Dan’s presentation style immediately hooked me and made me want to become a Patreon of his podcast. Darkly funny, insanely interesting topics, and the fact that the group at BadMagic “pay it forward” to donate to organizations in need is what keeps me coming back daily. I would definitely recommend anyone new to it to check this podcast out. Even if you don’t like TimeSuck, he’s got others that would suit your fancy I bet. Thanks Dan and company. Best wishes in the future!

Dan makes me love my Fiancé even more

Haha, seriously though. My fiancé has been a long time fan of Dan’s comedy and TimeSuck podcast before we started dating. A bit into our relationship, Scared to Death comes out. He tells me the premise of it since I didn’t know Dan, but it sounds fun and spooky.

Hooked.

I was absolutely hooked.

I grew to love Dan and Lynz, branching out individually to try his TimeSuck . Turns out I love that too.

I like that this dynamic duo are humble enough to know when they get points of topic wrong, yet dig through research to help all of us lazy folk out there not have too.

Running a podcast takes a lot of organizing, time, devotion, drive, etc. I’m sure there are days that Dan is stressed beyond belief about the podcast, running around trying to get every T crossed. It’s exhausting. Yet he comes to us with light in his voice and humor in his speech.

I honestly would buy audible books by Dan. He’s got a voice that doesn’t bore you and keeps you excited to listen.

Thank you guys for all that you do. Thank you to all the people behind the scenes helping to take some of the weight off their shoulders and for getting this awesome content out to us.

Really Unique Podcast

Topics are a diverse, historical content with a touch of humor added in. You do need a sense of humor for this because the host uses humor as a defense mechanism, which might be too much for those with delicate sensitivities. The host always does the research and provides the sources for you. That’s something I really appreciate. Definitely should try it out. Might try a few episodes since it’s a bit different. Love this podcast and the others the host is involved in. Wouldn’t change a thing. 3 out of 5 stars.
