A Date With Dateline

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.  Official Description from Peacock: Latest developments and new interviews in the high-profile murder trial of Lyle and Erik Menendez; a scripted show reignites public interest in the case.
