"I don’t like this dude’s humor and I find him annoying"

"I have been a fan of Dan Cummins for over a decade. So, of course I had to listen to his podcast. And he delivered. If you are looking for a hilarious, raw and slightly (or very depending who you ask) dark podcast about a variety of topics. Historical, factual, and worth your time. #timesuck #history #comedy #dark #hilarious #dancummins "

"A truly unique and informative "comedy" podcast. I put comedy in quotes because it is absolutely hilarious and led by a professional comedian, but it is so much more than that. It is well researched, eloquently delivered deep dives into a wide variety of subjects. The breadth of the topics covered and the astute detail put into each episode is mind blowing. Cults, serial killers, major cultural events, and significant historical moments all get treated with the same respect and analysis. This is a must listen to podcast - especially great if you have long drives. "

"I like history. It rare for someone to surprise with history I don’t know. The Great Emu War was a pleasant surprise. Dan’s humor wasn’t my favorite at first but now I’ve gone just as crazy and giggle like a little schoolgirl learning things she isn't supposed to. "

"This is the primary podcast that I listen to right now. Dan's research and information is spectacular. I've learned things from subjects that I already know a lot about. It truly is the home of the Cult Of The Curious. Hail Nimrod!"

"Yes it is. But warning his new episodes are very long and can be a little drawn out. He does a ton of research and makes it interesting, he is in stand up. "

"@harperbrownca it’s awesome but definitely not for everyone. Having a dark sense of humor is a must to listen lol. But if you like that and also like true crime, historical figures and a ton of factual information presented in a comedic tone and context you will love it! "
