I've been a fan for years. Love the show, the creative topics, comedy, and detailed research.
3 out of 5 stars
Timesuck is the most entertaining and informative podcast of found. Dan Cummings' delivery is borderline insane at times and hilarious, but his delivery keeps you involved throughout the podcast. He has told stories I've never heard in history classes and should be told. 3 or of 5 stars wouldn't change a thing.
3 out of 5 all the way.
Well researched and very respectful to victims in the true crime episodes. Sometimes a little over the edge when trying to be funny but it’s a good time. Highly recommend, 3 of 5 stars. ;)
