We were hoping for a fun light episode this week, maybe a good heist story or a con man gets his comeuppance after a long FBI cat and mouse. And Dateline has answered our prayers with THE MENENDEZ BROTHERS: A CHANCE AT FREEDOM! Here is the thing, there is nothing light and fun about this case, so please listen with caution! But never fear, despite this case being 35 years old, Kimberly & Katie are ever questioning and trying to gain knowledge, and we have scholarly questions. Were all 90’s lawyers assigned a trendy hairstyle or did they get to pick? Why was there a boy band named after soup? What day is bring your son to the homicide press conference day? Do you still have to pay for sessions when you’re sleeping with your therapist? Did OJ Simpson worm his way into every murder trial in 1994? Find out the answers to none of these important questions by joining us as we dive into the deep rabbit hole of a very famous case!

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of childhood sexual abuse. Please listen with caution and take care of yourself. https://rainn.org/ is available 24/7 with help.

This episode has a burger mogul, affairs, Christians mingling, child bullies, and they would’ve all gotten away with it if it wasn’t for you meddling podcaster!

And if you HAVE been obsessing over this case, we’ve got you covered! Last week we did a deep dive into Dateline’s coverage of the prosecution’s case in Part 1, and this week we’re doing an even deeper dive (think one of those pools where the deep end is like 40 feet deep because the divers are jumping off a skyscraper or something) into the defense’s conspiracy-filled theory plus everything Read Related that Dateline didn’t have time to go into in Part 2. And joining us will be special guest Jake, who Katie has molded into her equally obsessed partner in crime (watching). It’s THE NIGHT OF THE NOR’EASTER (PART 2)!

And if you HAVE been obsessing over this case, we’ve got you covered! We’re doing a deep dive into Dateline’s coverage of this wild, twisted, and conspiracy-filled trial in Part 1, and an even deeper dive (think one of those pools where the deep end is like 40 feet deep because the divers are jumping off a skyscraper or something) into everything else Read Related that Dateline didn’t have time to go into in Part 2. For this week, we hope you enjoy Part 1, where Andrea (and Dennis, in our first ever double host episode!) walk us through the cracked taillights, dueling experts, and courthouse protesters, while K and K attempt some truly awful Boston accents and succeed spectacularly.

Join us on Wednesday October 23rd at 6pm PST/ 9p EST! It's the livestream of the century... in that it's in this century!

Kimberly and Katie from A Date With Dateline Podcast pair up with their BFF, the witty and legendary Dateline host Josh Mankiewicz, and the hilarious and brilliant Peaches of the instagram account @peachesanddiesel104, creator of the famous "If I Go Missing Dateline Binder" videos! Peaches is going to walk us through creating our very own binders, and you can follow along and make yours at home! We'll be talking about the importance of picking your missing photos ahead of time so that you look young and hot (your family can't be trusted to pick the right ones), to making a list of anyone in your life that you've pissed off that the police need to look at right away. With Peaches as the expert in Dateline binders, Sir Manky with Hanky as the expert in Dateline, and Kimberly and Katie as the experts in (*still pending, add expertise when we think of it), we'll have the best binders around. They'll be useful if anything horrible ever happens to us, but if not at least we'll figure out who we need to be wary of before anything happens. These binders can save your life! Or at the very least, we'll learn who's out to get Kimberly. Join us on Wednesday October 23rd at 6pm PST/ 9p EST!

Season 33 of Dateline is bringing the doozy early in the season with a Texas size case of tragedy and... teenagers. And if you think this case sounds familiar, listen carefully to hear just how long it took Kimberly and Katie, two supposed professional podcasters and their professional goldfish brains to realize why! But even though its been discussed it before, this time we’re watching the case unfold Dateline style, which means    not only are we getting the full story (#journalism), we’re getting Keith Morrison's beautiful prose and sympathetic smiles. However, this case also contains unfortunate animal terms of endearment, Twilight fan fic, Hitchcock, crab shacks, notable notes, and something that rhymes with shmugs. It’s a wild ride and you don’t want to be late for this very important date. Hop to it and join K & K for DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE! 

Official Description from NBCU: A 16-year-old calls 911 to report a break-in at her family’s home. When police arrive, they discover her mother has been murdered, launching an investigation that featured a false confession and revealed a dangerous romance. Keith Morrison reports.

Josh Mankiewicz returns with his Season 33 debut episode! WRONG TURNS is taking us to a deserted lake road, a quiet suburban street, and a highway speed chase straight from the hookah lounge to the danger zone. This case features the most unsophisticated criminals since the Hee Haw Gang, twists that even tricked true crime amateur experts like K and K, and mysterious Facebook messages that turn out to even more sinister than the ones from that friend of yours from high school who has a unique and exciting business opportunity for you. It's an MLM, just say NO! Join Kimberly and Katie as they watch Sir Manky with the Hanky make a series of well executed right turns onto Justice Avenue!

It’s the first episode of the new season of Dateline (kind of!)! When a beloved young woman named Akia goes missing in Baltimore the day of her baby shower, the suspects are her nice guy best friend who was maybe in love with her, the broke father of her her unborn child who refused to go to her sonogram appointment, or the broke father’s other woman who went after her on social media. Yes, you heard all of that right, this situation is messy with a capital M. Thank goodness that M also stands for Mank, because we couldn’t get through this sad and frustrating case without the incredible skills of Mr. Josh Mankiewicz.
