Hey! Would love to hear some older older crimes from back in the 1920s-1950’s! I think you would do such an amazing job narrating into a different era

2024-01-29 09:51:51 +0000 UTCHey guys - long time listened and fan of Casefile. I’m a proud New Zealander (although now in Australia), and would love to hear more New Zealand based cases. Some ones would be the case of Karla Cardno, or Coral Burrows, or Lois Tolley’s case which to this day is unresolved, or Amber-Lee Cruikshank which is a notorious cold case, The Lundy Murders or even the case of Grace Millane which captured the worlds attention. Another tragic New Zealand case would be the Christchurch Mosque Murders, which took place a few years ago. I think Casefile would tell the story in the usual Casefile way, being thorough and delicately respectful. Keep doing what you’re doing guys. Love your work! Keen to hear more NZ cases though! 😀

2024-01-29 01:19:35 +0000 UTCChristie Marceau is already a Casefile Episode

2024-01-29 01:17:04 +0000 UTCLove the podcast guys. Absolutely appreciate the quality of work that goes into each episode. My question, is there any chance in doing a few more Nz episodes? Some cases that come to mind that could be good would be Sophie Elliott/Clayton Weatherston case, missing person Kirsty Bentley, or even the murder of Christie Marceau?

2024-01-26 18:23:18 +0000 UTCYes, indeed. Those podcasts where ill informed duos banter on about mindless rubbish are intolerable. Whereas, each instalment of casefile is like a contribution to fine works on a bookshelf. Some are very good, many are outstanding. Often the stories stay with you, and I find myself relistening in the manner akin to rewatching a fine movie. I listen with my eyes closed, letting the narrative paint a rich mental picture. The writing, narration, and understated yet atmospheric music is so good that it deserves nothing but undivided attention.

2024-01-26 03:36:22 +0000 UTC(This question is probably too late for this Q&A) this question is for Mike, I was listening to old episodes this morning, specifically episode 65 and I noticed that the balance of the music was a lot louder than the new episodes. It also had a different feel to the newer episodes , it had a very creepy vibe. Can you speak to the evolution of the music on Casefile and how you and Andrew compose different music for the episodes.

2024-01-20 17:22:47 +0000 UTCI'm curious your take on the criminal justice systems in various countries. I live in the US. While appropriate for the most violent murders, I am disturbed by the very lengthy sentences that other offenders get here and also disturbed by the lack of transition and rehabilitation at the end of those lengthy sentences. On the other hand, I've noted comments from victims' families in other countries who dislike the more lenient sentences and versions of day parole leading up to the release of the person who offended against their loved one. How do you balance justice with redemption? If you were creating the perfect criminal justice system, what elements would you include?

2024-01-20 04:12:57 +0000 UTCHey team Love your work as always (been listening for many years) I know in most cases, casey you mention some historic importance. Do you or the team have much involvement with an indigenous community or is it more reaching out to individuals involved in a case or area to get some understanding of any cultural importance when writing a case? Hope that makes sense mate!

2024-01-18 19:21:42 +0000 UTCObviously my app question is more because the previous poll about changing from patreon to something else that doesn't appear to have an app as such, for people like myself who have only recently been able to work out Patreon it's a little daunting, but I do admire the punk "stick it to the man" attitude y'all have. 🤟🤘🤙🖖 depending on which you prefer, also I know one mean 'I love you' in American sign language but I wasn't sure which it was.

2024-01-15 11:48:35 +0000 UTCWill we see more Crime Interrupted this calendar year, will it branch out of the East Coast of Australia at all? Has there been any update in the Wanda Beach murders? Would you ever consider creation of an app purely for casefile?
Alex May
2024-01-15 11:45:02 +0000 UTCYou put it perfectly - Casefile really is the gold standard for true crime podcasts! We really hope the team doesn't take criticism like long breaks to heart. Keep up what you're doing because there's really nothing else out there with this level of quality and effort!

2024-01-13 20:06:48 +0000 UTCCouldn’t agree more!

2024-01-13 01:19:40 +0000 UTCi heard a recent q&a where your team was critized for your breaks. I sure hope you don't for a minute take that stuff to heart. I used to listen to all the true crime podcasts i could find, but yours has spoiled me. I can't listen to most of the others anymore because yours is so superior. Your way of storytelling, the detail, the research, the respect given, even the erie music, Casefile is the gold standard for true crime podcasts. I know you guys know this but i felt it needed to be said after hearing that criticism. That guy is comparing apples and oranges. So many podcasts out there sound like they consist of a couple of friends getting together and recording themselves discussing a Wikipedia page they are reading and riffing off of. Anyway, keep up the great work and I hope you never change!

2024-01-11 05:37:27 +0000 UTCMind blown by Colleen Stan's story. I am actually incredulous she survived such torture, happening on so many levels for so long. Not really a question, but I wonder if you feel 104y in jail is a 'fair' sentence (doesn't seem enough) - How deep her brainwashing must have been for her NOT to confess to her family when she visited? Thank you as always for your work and how you treat these stories.

2024-01-10 09:40:33 +0000 UTCJust checked and they are not the same writer 😬 answered my own question
Tessa
2024-01-10 09:06:40 +0000 UTCNo questions as such, just wanted to note that Brian Barrett was fkn WILD. From looking at my saved episodes, I seem to save all the catfish themed ones… I wonder if it’s the same writer for all of them? - Renae Marsden - Bill Payne and Billie-Jean Hayworth - Carly Ryan - Amy Allwine (admittedly not a catfish, but similar)
Tessa
2024-01-10 09:04:44 +0000 UTC....respective scripts, do you find it may affect the content and structure of the narratives?
Michael Brodie
2024-01-10 07:20:05 +0000 UTCI think this question could be considered relevant to more than one of the cases relevant to this Q and A. In researching and writing the episodes, do you find yourselves researching the psychology of the perpetrators and victims? Even if that information is not included in the s
Michael Brodie
2024-01-10 07:19:12 +0000 UTCFor Brian Barrett: the case is just insane, that it's a double-catfish. Do you think Mary should have been punished for her role in Brian's death, or even for taking those pictures of her daughter without her consent? For Colleen Stan: I have a hard time wrapping my mind around Janice's actions and I think you did a great job highlighting that she was a victim of abuse too but it didn't in any way justify what she did to Colleen. How do you feel about Janice's role in Colleen's torture and release? Also, did you find any part of this case particularly difficult to write about? I know I had to pause at points and walk away and I imagine with all the research you do, you must have limits, too.
