401 - Kenneth McDuff: The Broomstick Killer
Kenneth McDuff killed three high school students the night of August 6th, 1966, repeatedly raping and sexually torturing one of them first. He'd be sent to death row for those crimes. But then, he'd have his sentence reduced to life in prison. And then, he'd get released on parole at the age of 43 and start killing again within 72 hours of leaving prison...

Short Suck #9 - The US Human Body Trade
What happens to your body when it is donated to science? Does it actually end up in front of some doctor or medical student? Not necessarily. Sometimes it ends up being sold by nefarious body brokers to be used for explosive detonation testing or to add to the collection of some weirdo who just likes dead bodies.

Great Pod
Very interesting and knowledgeable. My only thing is I wish Dan would pick either the first or last name when talking about someone. I’m a little slow and easily confused lol. 3 out of 5 stars all day!
3 out of 5 stars— would highly recommend!
I was trying to give three stars but it would only let me do five. Oh well. If you know, you know.
Seriously though, Timesuck is a bright spot in the podverse. Dan’s a wonderful storyteller and researcher who brings a great blend of humor and overall humanity to what at times can be very dark subjects. I first discovered this podcast with the Armenian Genocide episode, and for someone who lives on the North side of Los Angeles, it really affected me. Since then, I’ve really enjoyed diving into the Timesuck vault for older episodes and keeping track of all the new shows every week. Keep ‘em comin’, Dan!
Big fan of this rating
