In honor of last week's 200 ish episode we have dug deep into the ADWD archives to uncover the elusive lost recap to Dateline's explosive episode -Under the Prairie Sky. This was the second episode every released by K&K and it mysteriously disappeared sometime in 2018. Time does strange things to us, as we have learned in 2020, and hopefully this episode will not have aged as badly as Kimberly and Katie feel they have. Please enjoy the following vintage description as well! Can a victim's life ...

It's A Date With Dateline's 200th episode! We think! Maybe? It's possible! We lost track of a few. But we think this is it. So thank you to all of you for making this possible, every one of you that's listened, downloaded, left us a review on Apple Podcasts, and told a friend. And especially to our Patreons, whose generosity makes this podcast free for everyone and are the reason we've been going for 200 episodes of brilliant puns, horrible puns, and equally divisive facial hair choices. 200 epi...
