  • Short Suck #23 - The Weird But True Dancing Plague of 1518

    Short Suck #23 - The Weird But True Dancing Plague of 1518
    Dec 13 2024

    What a tale I have for you today! In 1518, a very peculiar form of madness fell over the people of the city of Strasbourg (modern day France) in the Holy Roman Empire. People started... dancing. A lot of people. As in hundreds. And out in public in full view of anyone who wanted to watch! And many of them only stopped when they died. They literally danced themselves to death. What happened and why???

Amazing.

This podcast means so much to me. I love Dan and now I adore Micheal McDonald and Pootie and Juju 😂 I have been listening to Time Suck for almost 3 months straight - non stop! It's a fun place to listen to honest points of view and examine our f'd up history so we can learn from the mistakes of others. 10/10 reccomend. Hail Lucifinia!

Hilarious History

Dan Cummins has been one of my favorite comedians for a very long time (at least a decade). After discovering his podcast Timesuck, I binged episode after episode. He dives in to a really interesting part of history, giving his really funny analysis while relaying the story. If you like cynical, dark humor and like learning about historical events and people, Timesuck is the podcast for you. I'd recommend starting at the beginning and working your way through, as Dan often refres to original characters which you will not understand without hearing a previous episode. This shouldn't take you out of the story if you have not listened to every episode, but if you know the character, you will have much more fun.

Thanks for being awesome Master SuckLord, keep up the great work.

Also, if you liek this podcast try out the other Bad Magic productions. Is We Dumb? Dan pairs up with another comedian Joe Paisley and is about the stupidity of humanity today, and is great if you also think humans are dumb. Scared To Death, Dan cohosts with his wonderful wife, Lindsey, to tell scary stories, guaranteed to creep you out or at least make you double check under the bed before turning out the light.

Happy Listening!
