Q&A with Raquel O’Brien

Hello Patreon, the next Q&A will be with the Casefile host and Raquel O’Brien. Raquel’s powerful podcast Silent Waves was the first release on the Casefile Presents platform. Raquel also produced Casefile’s Portuguese episodes. From finding the perfect Portuguese speaking Casey, to translating the scripts, overseeing the recording and helping with post production. Send in any questions you have in the comments!

What are your thoughts or opinions on so-called Mr. Big operations?

Was wondering if you have done an ancestry DNA test. If so, did you find out a bit more about your ancestral background, were there any surprising revelations? I think in the last Q&A there was talk about DNA and what the future implications could be. Besides privacy concerns, one of the things that I find simultaneously fascinating and scary is that potential serious illnesses could be accurately diagnosed in advance, but then would that be opening Pandora's box and reveal something that you wished you hadn't found out?

Just wanted to say thank you for telling your story in Silent Waves, Raquel. You have anymore projects coming up? How about writing some Casefile episodes…especially from Portuguese-speaking places?

Who approached who with the idea of doing Silent Waves? What actually goes into producing an episode, as in what is the actual role of a producer? Does it vary from podcast to podcast, or episode to episode?

When researching a case to potentially use as an episode, how early do you determine if it wouldn't make a good episode and decide to abandon it? What are some factors that play a part in this decision? What percentage of cases looked into end up being discarded? Thanks for the outstanding episodes!

sorry if it's been asked before, but - are you guys planning on taking Casefile even more international? German, Japanese and so on. I'm assuming the process for turning the podcast Portuguese must have been exhausting enough :D
