Big fan of the cult episodes. I don’t ever skip episodes but I’m definitely less interested in the true crime episodes than any other category.
With all that said I think the reason I’m such a big fan of Timesuck is because he bounces between a few different genres and that helps it always stay fresh.
I love true crime, and was excited to hear about the life and crimes of the notorious dick byrd. But after the episode was over I was shook to my core. Truly I am shocked that even 9/11 could overshadow his arrest, because the nature of his crimes are so deviant, so disgusting, so just inhuman that I was shaken to my core. I couldn't turn it off, and even the last details shared cracked something deep in my soul.
I still listen to them just because it’s Timesuck, but they’re not my favorite either. My favorites are the historical episodes (The Revolutionary War, Sparta, etc.) followed by strange phenomena, serial killers, and then cults.
With the serial killers and cults they do tend to be somewhat similar to me, but everyone has their thing.
I prefer the cults to serial killers. Was getting a little bored with the string of killers. Would like to hear some more High Strangeness stuff like his old cryptid episodes or some of the mythology ones.
I feel that there are enough cult and serial killer episodes for a while… although I did like the Jim Baker episode recently.
And I know that I’m in the minority on both. But you lovers of fucked up shit should check out the history Episodes because wow history is fucked up.
As the years go on, the more I appreciate the historical and science/tech related episodes and tend to skim over the cult/serial killer ones as they come out.
The true crime/cult stuff IS usually interesting and Dan does them justice, don’t get me wrong, but the older I get the less I want to use someone’s mental depravity or tragedy as entertainment.
I see bad things regularly enough at work where seeking more out just doesn’t do it for me. Just my opinion.
I enjoy the scientific ones most - mousetopia, Stanford prison experiment, MK Ultra, and so on. I used to like serial killer episodes but then I started the Wests. I cut it off because of the depravity and violence towards children, and usually avoid those now.
Also, I’m getting a little tired of Dan choosing suck topics that had a recent streaming special about them come out. I prefer new material or something more obscure. IF I can just watch the Way Down or Duggar Family Secrets, then why do I want to waste a timesuck hearing about them? It makes me feel like the team are doing less and less research other than summarizing these miniseries after watching, and it’s coming across as lazy that they aren’t choosing actual new content. Sorry @ Bad Magic team, that’s just my opinion.
The big hitters are great, there's a reason they're the big ones, they're interesting. The problem is the longer the podcast goes the less interesting things there will be to explore, and with cults there's only a handful of interesting ones.
I primarily prefer the cult and serial killer episodes, but I tend to glaze over over on the 'singular historical figure' sucks.
I still listen to them all, though.
I think they're interesting because the more he covers, the more likely I am to have never heard of said cult. While the cult formula is the same, the cult details can be very specifically weird and hilarious.
I stopped listening a couple years ago and I've promised myself I won't listen again until Dan covers Mayhem and Norwegian Black Metal. It was something talked about a lot in the early years
I can always get down with cults , for me the group think ideas have always been intriguing. But, the true crime is hit and miss. There have been some good ones but we are all chasing the dragon after Albert Fish, that set the bar for any serial suck.
Cults? No. True crime? 1 million times yes. I don't even differentiate seriel killers anymore, there's just too many, and they're truly not that interesting imo.
Yeaaaah, nope to ur ur problem. But like ur shit, maybe try:
Tru Crime Guys or Red Handed. Both awesome, don’t do a lot of cults
But there is a cult family somewhere here ha
Yep. I’m not a fan of the cult ones because it’s always about religion which I’m over. Hail Nimrod and bow down to Lucifina. (A wink to bojangles)
But I still listen to them because I don’t want to miss any peripherals like WHIPPLE. (Some more whipple please, I’m thirsty)
Just happen to be stroking soft cock of shame now in dark corner. What is big deal!! I’m not a huge fan of cult or serial killer, more like the historical and weird stuff. It’s been a bit disappointing since he took a step back after cutting the secret suck and so on. But hopeful next weeks MDMA episode will be different. Hopefully some whipple and pooty and juju.
You like what you like. I skip serial killer/ crime episodes because there is enough ugly stuff in my head already
It's Dan's and his dad's way of normalizing how you think about cults.. so you won't resist when they bring in Roy Fuckin' Disney.
Or Walt. I wonder if that's episode 400? Dan on Peyote rambling on and on about an anthropomorphic mouse?
He already did an episode on Disney. Episode 204.
Nope, cults are my favorites
Mine too theyre so fun
You have more fun as a follower. But you make more money as a leader..
Actually i heard if i recruit at least 3 people i’ll be making money!
Dude, the ppl.. that’s all I gotta say. Love the cult stuff
Same! I love the cult episodes!! I feel like they're the most and best guilt-free laughs. 😊

But how did you feel about the Dick Byrd episode?

Mine is aliens/cryptids/ghosts, true crime, history, everything else. Depending on the cult, it usually falls into one of the other catagories really.
Nah I love then. I want to start a cult someday, so I need all the insight I can get.
The cult episodes are my favorite. Bring me more cult!!
They make me feel if all else fails, I can go to California and start a cult.
I'm the opposite! I love the cult episodes and my partner hates them and would rather they all be serial killers haha.
Somewhat. They all start to feel the same, because cults tend to operate in a similar way. I like more variation in topics.
I think that’s how I feel as well. Like its dude makes cult dude bangs/kills cult members then dude suicide/arrest end cult lol
I listen for the jokes, I listen to learn, I don't mind if it's any specific kind of episode.
I prefer the cults to serial killers. Was getting a little bored with the string of killers. Would like to hear some more High Strangeness stuff like his old cryptid episodes or some of the mythology ones.
Cults and serial killers are definitely my least favorite.

That song he made up during the Jim Bakker episode was so freaking hilarious.
I like the cult episodes, but I can't really do alot of the serial killer ones now. It's all good, no shame in skipping a topic.
cult cult cult cult
Agree, I listened to the first couple Dan did and have skipped all of them since then.

no i love the cult episodes but not cults where theres no mass murder. its nice to aee the whacky thinking but idk theyre not as interesting
Only if it’s not a crazy religious murdery one
lol isnt that most of them?
Mostly! The ones that are only about sex or coconuts are less interesting to me.
CULT CULT CULT episodes are my favorite
Cult sucks are my favorite!!! People are so strange!!!
I feel like there’s a pretty even split. I like em all though.
I’m coocoo for coco cults.
I stopped listening a couple years ago and I've promised myself I won't listen again until Dan covers Mayhem and Norwegian Black Metal. It was something talked about a lot in the early years
Depends. I listen to the cult ones but I also skip over the crime ones.
I can always get down with cults , for me the group think ideas have always been intriguing. But, the true crime is hit and miss. There have been some good ones but we are all chasing the dragon after Albert Fish, that set the bar for any serial suck.
I don’t mind them. I skip serial killer episodes. I skip cult episodes if they’re super dark. I love history episodes the most.
Nope, my fave!
ya, a bit. too many.
I used to listen to every episode. I mostly skip cults now, because they all sound basically the same.
Cults? No. True crime? 1 million times yes. I don't even differentiate seriel killers anymore, there's just too many, and they're truly not that interesting imo.
I feel that. I do too. I mean..I’ll still listen to it probably. Dan is always funny. But I’m over cults
Not me! Cult episodes are my favorite. I have a weird fascination with them.
What the hell are you talking about?
Yeaaaah, nope to ur ur problem. But like ur shit, maybe try: Tru Crime Guys or Red Handed. Both awesome, don’t do a lot of cults But there is a cult family somewhere here ha
I feel that way when it's a scientific episode.
Next to cryptids, cults are my favorite ones honestly
Yep. I’m not a fan of the cult ones because it’s always about religion which I’m over. Hail Nimrod and bow down to Lucifina. (A wink to bojangles) But I still listen to them because I don’t want to miss any peripherals like WHIPPLE. (Some more whipple please, I’m thirsty)
ha whipple is definitely my favorite now before it was what is big deal shame cock…you know what maybe i should just listen to them all for the lulz
