  • Fallen off a cliff

    What was once a great show, has gone way too political. I can deal with the annoying repeating jokes, that remind you of a dumb morning radio show, but his Hollywood politics have corrupted the show. While claiming to be a libertarian, he frequently pushes elitist Hollywood narratives. I liked the history podcast with some added humor, but his ignorance on several political topics that he addresses (even in passing), has turned me off. I’ll be looking for new history themed podcasts.

  • Addicted

    I was looking for something new that didn’t require me to listen to every episode like a tv show. I became addicted to Dan’s humor and the way he gives facts in a way that isn’t boring. I started listening to the first episode in May and as of today, 10/02, I am at episode 430. I SERIOUSLY binged! 3 out of 5 stars - don’t EVER change!

  • Timesuck used to be my favorite show.

    Between the ever evolving characters and storylines, Timesuck quickly became a staple in my entertainment world. The show was lighthearted and just fun. I could escape the pressure of daily life and simply enjoy. I mean, “What is big deal?!”

    Dan and the team never back down from controversial topics and I loved that, but he used to remain neutral in discussions and highlighted all angles of the subject. In doing so I could laugh and learn about just about everything.
