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. ### 5/5 — 5 stars!!! *2022-08-07, version 5.3.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Hilarious *2022-01-23, version 5.3.0* 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! ### 5/5 — Dan makes me love my Fiancé even more *2021-11-15, version 5.3.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Really Unique Podcast *2021-10-26, version 5.3.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Knowledge with comedy! *2021-10-19, version 5.3.0* If you like comedy and knowledge this is for you. I recommend starting from the beginning so you get all the inside jokes. I have been a fan of Dan Cummins comedy for years but this podcast is amazing and keeps you interested from start to finish. Keep on sucking. ### 5/5 — A Great Way To Pass Some Time *2021-09-26, version 5.2.0* I was introduced to this podcast by one of my family members a year or so ago and loved it then. However, since I don’t listen to podcasts on my own much I only recently went back looking for it again. I love Dan Cummins’ comedy, he has become one of my favorite comedians of all time. And I love that he has brought that same sense of humor into this podcast. The mesh of jokes and the intrigue of new and interesting topics to learn about, has led to this becoming a great way for me to pass some time. I’ve really enjoyed listening and learning in the nice and carefree manner that the information is presented. So thank you Dan Cummins and the production team for making this podcast and for keeping it up for so long. I would recommend this podcast to anyone who enjoys learning about random topics and also enjoys a good helping of comedy to keep things light and entertaining. ### 5/5 — OH MY HECK! *2021-06-02, version 5.1.2* I enjoy learning new things, but reading puts me right to sleep when it’s not entertaining. Listening to these stories, true crime, serial killers, cults, historical events, etc with a comedic spin makes learning so much more easy! I love how thorough the research is. Even historical events I thought I was pretty educated on, I still learn something new! I appreciate all the hard work that has gone into each and every episode. I’ve even become a Patreon supporter to learn yet even more. Such a great community of meatsacks has come out of just one podcast. I cannot express enough how awesome this podcast is. The main focus is to educate and have fun while doing it. Well done Bad Magic team, well done. ### 5/5 — This is amazing! *2021-05-11, version 5.0.13* While I don’t always agree with how Dan sees things I do 100% love that he and his team do plenty of research to try and give the full story behind every episode. At the end of each episode he reads emails sent to him by viewers/listeners (even if they are negative) just to give full perspective of every topic. I catch myself almost daily saying things or referring to things that I have heard in the podcast and am FOREVER telling family, friends and sometimes strangers that they need to tune into this podcast! If you do not like cussing and you do not like laughing hysterically this is not the podcast for you! ### 5/5 — If you don’t listen to TimeSuck, then F %k You! *2021-03-17, version 5.0.13* This podcast cast is more than a pod cast! This pod cast is the first THING I have ever rated in my life!! I found this pod cast about 10 months after it started. I’ve been listening to it since! There is so much more to this podcast then the fascinating and factual stories that this podcast delves into every week. It’s more then the goofy jokes and miss leads that Mr. SuckMaster Cummins weaves into every weeks tail. This show is a community of people that love to learn and seek knowledge of every aspect of life. The Curious People! The people that Love to learn, Love to laugh! Love to love other people for who they are and be ok with with the fact that We Are All Different! If this show is anything other then plain old fantastic. It is a simple mans/ woman’s guide to using your brain better....as in gettin so learnin done on ya skull squishy! You don’t have to be a smarty pants to be curious. And there no better way to tame that curiosity then to listen to TimeSuck! Don’t be a Darin! (Diff podcast but still) What do you have to lose?? What is big deal? Listen to TimeSuck and Learn!
