  • Short Suck #51: Greatest Slave Rebellion in History: The Haitian Revolution

    Short Suck #51: Greatest Slave Rebellion in History: The Haitian Revolution
    Feb 13 2026

    In this Short Suck, we dive into the Haitian Revolution - the only truly successful large-scale slave revolt in human history - where the enslaved people of Saint-Domingue rose up, burned France's “cash machine” to the ground, and then fought France, Spain, and Britain for more than a decade to create Haiti. It’s a brutal, twisty, holy shit how do we not already know this story full of battlefield genius, betrayals, and legendary speeches.

  • 493 - The Gloriavale Cult: Hell Disguised as Heaven

    493 - The Gloriavale Cult: Hell Disguised as Heaven
    Feb 9 2026

    In this episode of Timesuck, we’re heading to New Zealand to explore Gloriavale - a so-called “Heaven on Earth” founded by charismatic preacher Neville Cooper, where obedience to God somehow turned into obedience to one very, VERY creepy man. What began as a utopian Christian commune devolved into total control, forced labor, a lot of creepy sexual stuff., and generations raised to believe submission was salvation. It’s Eden… if Eden had dress codes, unpaid work, and a cult leader who absolutely should not have been anywhere near anyone’s bedroom.
