We’re dipping back into the vault for a classic Dateline that proves for the thousandth time that you should never accept a beverage from your spouse. Never. Just get your own beverage. You’ll get in a few more steps walking to the fridge and you won’t get poisoned. In MANNER OF DEATH, a young dad mysteriously dies, a family is divided, a brother becomes an amateur detective, and an ill-timed karaoke performance becomes the only evidence. There’s a little league team called the Fat Boys, a dirty dog/sick puppy, and a jaw dropping courtroom reveal involving grapes. Yes, you heard us right. Grapes. It’s a wild one, so we’re grateful that we have Our Leaning King Keith Morrison to guide us across that slippery ice and even slipperier criminals like the reporting Zamboni like he is! 

Official Description from NBCU: When a healthy 31-year-old father of three dies suddenly, an autopsy reveals poisoning by antifreeze. Keith Morrison reports.

And it’s the people you’d least expect. Or most expect, depending on how cynical the world has made you. It all cumulates with a coup de gras interview where Dennis says everything that you’d want to say, and more. That’s because he is as always More Than Enough in the classic Dateline episode, THE PLAN!

The incomparable Andrea Canning is taking us on a journey around the world to find out if that man in the oxygen mask and old timey spectacles with the unique BritGermScot accent is actually an American born scam artist! This episode really does have it all: Engelbert Humperdinck, the most awkward plot line on The Office ever (and we don’t mean the Dinner Party), vegan cheese, and… THE INTERVIEW. Not since Keith Morrison uttered, “I don’t give a sweet flying eff” has a Dateline interview been so shocking. Thank goodness we have Andrea, some incredibly brave women, and a politician in a tracksuit to walk us through this epic case! 

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual abuse, child abuse, COVID-19 and Andrea Canning yelling at a strange kind of British man in an oxygen mask.

In DEADLY DANCE, Andrea Canning is en pointe, as always, as she reports on the possible poisoning, self defense shooting, Ben Carson fundraiser of a complicated case known as The Black Swan Murder Trial. Yes. That case that keeps popping up in any true crime watcher's social media feed. Kimberly and Katie are going in blind so they are shocked right from the jeté in this divisive case, but they’ll eventually plié into the truth. Or they won’t. They might. Look, it's a tough one. All they know is that when a couple with a 30 year age gap starts a ballet company and loves guns, God, and politics, it was bound to arabesque to a murder. It’s DEADLY DANCE!

Official Description from NBCU: A former ballerina shoots her husband in what she alleges was an act of self-defense; the ensuing investigation and dramatic trial spark protests and receives national attention. Andrea Canning reports.

On June 10th, 1983, the decomposing body of a well-dressed man was found in a desolate canyon near Los Angeles. John Doe #94would soon be identified as missing variety show producer Roy Radin. He'd last been seen after meeting with a mysterious woman in a gold dress. Her name was Lanie Jacobs.

Jacobs and Radin were obsessed with becoming Hollywood movie producers. And when their paths collided, it led them to a tantalizing film deal promising fame and fortune. But then, a twisted script unfolded, plunging them into a million-dollar cocaine and cash heist, a tangled

web of lies, and ultimately – murder.

The trail led investigators right to Hollywood's doorstep, linking former golden boy producer Robert Evans to the case and dredging up Radin's own troubled past.

But the case turned ice cold. It would take more than five years of dogged pursuit by the L.A. Sheriff’s Department detectives, a secret undercover witness, and another murder almost 3,000 miles from Hollywood – to unlock the truth.

This is the story of a doomed Hollywood partnership, a grisly murder and the search that stretched across the country for a killer – or killers.

From Wondery, and the team behind the hit series Hollywood & Crime: The Dating Game Killer, The Wonderland Murders, Death of Starlet, and the Execution of Bonny Lee Bakley comes a six part series that dives into the dark side of Hollywood through a shocking murder – fueled by ruthless ambition and desperate dreams. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.

In this episode, Dateline has commissioned the incomparable Andrea Canning for a long and twisted story with a DEADLY OMISSION! It’s a case involving a man who played too good a game of Peek A Boo and somehow lost two wives, through no fault of his own, of course. Despite the tragic untimely deaths of multiple (?!) victims, this episode had everything that Kimberly and Katie like to see in a Dateline: 90s hairstyles, a Habitat for Humanity Pink Poodle Club Wolf Pack, and a scene that demonstrates what it would be like if Kimberly’s parents tried to wiretap a relative. Join us for the justice times two (!) in DEADLY OMISSION/COMMISSION/EMISSION/COMPOSITION/DEPOSITION!

Official Description from NBCU: A murder unearths an unsolved mystery from years earlier; as the connection between the two cases becomes clear, a long-hidden truth surfaces. Andrea Canning reports.

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.
