A Date With K and K

Two friends humorously recap episodes of the true-crime TV show 'Dateline,' focusing on production tropes, questionable fashion, and host Keith Morrison.

The brief

This is a comedic recap podcast where two friends dissect episodes of 'Dateline NBC.' More than just discussing the crimes, the hosts analyze the show's well-worn production formula, from the hosts' dramatic pauses to the B-roll footage and the specific archetypes of people featured. It functions as both a loving tribute and a gentle roast of the popular true-crime series.

Unlike general true-crime comedy shows, this podcast's hyper-focus on the 'Dateline' series itself is its standout feature. The hosts' deep knowledge of the show's history, recurring correspondents, and signature storytelling devices creates a unique, fan-centric listening experience, complete with an affectionate, long-running appreciation for host Keith Morrison.
