Kimberly and Katie are professional true crime TV experts with no formal training but evidence lockers filled with snark and uninformed opinions. Katie watches Dateline in hopes to learn how to prevent her new husband from murdering her for the life insurance money, and Kimberly watches so she'll know what to say when Keith Morrison interviews her about her best friend Katie's murder.

  • Hosts Converted to Progressive Orthodoxy

    They were way funnier before they aligned the podcast with politically progressive orthodoxy (e.g., black lives matter, believe women, sex work is work, trans women are women, etc.) circa 2020. I mean, Kimberly was always kinda biased against men, but I think she’s a genuine misandrist now. She definitely doesn’t like white men. (FWIW I write this as a Middle Eastern gay man.)

    Katie’s generally better, though she’s become so worried about offending people that she’s not really funny anymore, ev... more

  • Well…

    It’s a decent podcast if you can tolerate Kimberly’s blatant disdain for people of faith.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Josh Mankiewicz Returns!
Q: We have some questions. First of all, I just have to ask, I've been thinking about this since I heard it on Talking Dateline. Kimberly has a game that she plays, that she wants to play with me on the podcast. Tell him what it is.
The game is about whether Josh would receive love letters in prison; they acknowledge the stereotype that people write to inmates, and Josh confirms that it's a phenomenon they've observed or discussed, with humorous caution about the odds.
A Perfect Spring Morning S.34 Ep.4
Q: Did Eugene Glee Gore ever provide an alibi for the time of the murder?
Eugene did not provide an alibi and instead attempted to deflect by expressing confusion over the situation.
Lori Vallow Daybell: The Jailhouse Interview S.33 Ep.18
Q: Were you there when JJ and Tylee died?
I was not there, as you know.
Down the Basement Stairs S.32 Ep.20
Q: What does the medical examiner's testimony suggest about the time of Anne's death?
The medical examiner suggested that Anne died in the mid-morning to early afternoon when Kara was still at home, making it difficult to prove that someone else was involved.
Down the Basement Stairs S.32 Ep.20
Q: What happened in this case that led to Kara's convictions being overturned?
Kara's convictions were overturned due to the unreliable testimony of a paint expert, leading to a retrial.
