"I've had a little thing happen now. And weirdly, it started right when I started Scared to Death, and it was just a taste. And I'm like, I know that was paranormal. No other way."  -- Dan Cummins

Description:

This week, we welcome master storyteller, podcaster, and comedian Dan Cummins, creator of the hit shows Time Suck and Scared to Death. Known for his deep dives into historical mysteries and the supernatural, Dan brings scholarly research paired with sharp wit. We’ve long admired the quality and depth of his work, which often parallels our own. Our conversation spans his paranormal encounters, the eerie legend of Rasputin, and a bizarre experience he had that mirrors one of Scott’s — with coincidences too strange to ignore. We’ll also explore Dan’s unique path into podcasting, his prolific creative output, and his passion for the unexplained. Plus, Scott shares a story from his recent visit to the Rhine Institute in Durham, where he learned about cutting-edge research into human bioluminescence.

Whatever YouTube video my brother is watching

you should listen to Timesuck if you like weird creepy stuff. Dan Cummins (host) is a comedian and he manages to do a ton of research and present it in an informative and funny way. The topics are actually interesting if you like the weird and macabre (like I do) and as far as I know the earlier episodes aren’t super scary. I think there are a few later on - especially one that was mentioned in his other podcast as being freaky and people had weird things happen to them after listening so I’m not gonna risk that one
