Thank you for the suggestion Alexander, we will check it out!
Casefile True Crime
2022-07-14 03:57:57 +0000 UTCHi Casey, do you or anybody on the Casefile team watch F1? My favorite driver, Daniel Ricciardo, is Australian and I wonder if he’s much of a celebrity there.

2022-07-11 18:45:22 +0000 UTCI missed this post so I hope I’m not too late. Is there a master list of books used for case research/recommended by the Casefile team anywhere?

2022-07-11 15:40:17 +0000 UTCHi Team Hope you're all going well 😊 After to listening to the recent 2-part episode of the Blackout Killers, I was wondering if the Casefile team would ever consider developing a separate series or even just a huge multi-part episode on WW2 and the atrocities of the nazi party/Hitler/Goebbels etc. I know its a massive topic and has also been covered countless times.. I just really take in the information you guys present with the careful flow of the narration and the dedicated attention to detail, provided in the research, that I feel you could cover this type of thing in a way no one else has.

2022-07-11 10:37:17 +0000 UTCI’m wondering what questions the team would like to be asked. When you made the call to introduce these Q&As, were there particular aspects of the podcast you’d love to be asked about? Do any of you geek out on processes or elements that you’d find us as listeners wouldn’t really ask about?

2022-07-09 07:09:05 +0000 UTCCasey, have you ever listened to the Fall of Civilization podcast? It’s got a Dan Carlin feel to it and is very well done.

2022-07-08 12:10:13 +0000 UTCHi Casey, what made you want to start the podcast? Have you always had an interest in true crime?
Victoria Driver
2022-07-08 05:34:35 +0000 UTCWould you consider doing an episode on Lyn Dawson once her husband's trial is over?
Sanna Pöri-Tikkakoski
2022-07-08 03:35:05 +0000 UTCDo you think Ruth Bennett sent Andrew Fitzherbert to Kathleen Marshall’s house so he would be seen at her house and leave DNA, so that she could commit the crime, or do you think she sent him to do her dirty work and he was dumb enough to do it?
Maressa Calder
2022-07-07 14:28:26 +0000 UTCNot a question but there’s a YouTube channel called That Chapter which I think could provide you guys with some interesting cases to cover. Probably for the shorter eps. Cases like the SD card killer, Chandler Halderson (similar to that case in Canada I think where a college student of Asian descent kept lying to her family and spun out of control), Jeffrey Pyne, Austin Harrouff (who’s family ignored his mental health problems and he went on to have a psychotic episode), Broken Arrow killings.

2022-07-06 06:51:03 +0000 UTCYou have a very Aussie staff (Mike and Pauline acknowledged). Have you thought of recruiting international writers and researchers to help with overseas content?

2022-07-05 21:33:43 +0000 UTCWhat happened to the obituaries podcast
Lily Alford
2022-07-05 18:44:46 +0000 UTCI recently heard a band that I think Casey would enjoy. Pop-punk isn't my thing, but I think it's his from what I remember? Anyway. I saw Joyce Manor in concert recently and enjoyed it a bunch, despite it not being a genre I generally listen to. I also have a question: Has Casey been approached to do any voice over work for commercials, or some other project outside of Casefile? I would love to randomly hear him do a movie trailer: "In a world, where nothing is as it seems...." etc etc etc.
Flem Candango
2022-07-05 17:46:18 +0000 UTCI know you’ve said on a previous AMA episode you’d be happy to cover more cases from Ireland so I’m gonna recommend a couple, the murder of Raonaid Murray(unsolved) and also Dean Lyon’s/Mark Nash On a non crime related note, Casey, have you ever listened to the Irish punk band Chewie? (previously known as Chewing on Tinfoil)
Daniel O'Reilly
2022-07-05 17:35:15 +0000 UTCWhat's next in the world of Casefile Presents? Does the team at Casefile work on both Casefile original content and Casefile Presents episodes and, if so, how do you prioritize the work to ensure all the deadlines are met? This year has been fantastic this year for all the Casefile content!
Demi
2022-07-05 13:06:38 +0000 UTCYou sound like a tight-knit team but I guess like any workplace there can be pressure to meet deadlines and get the shows out. How do you deal with this? And bonus question: who has the most annoying habit in the team?!

2022-07-05 12:35:51 +0000 UTCWhat’s another podcast you enjoy?

2022-07-05 10:06:46 +0000 UTCHi team. Some podcast related questions. How long does it take to make a typical episode, from case suggestions and research through to final publication? Also are there any particularly busy periods for you during the year, or does the one episode a week format allow you to have a relatively even workload? On a different topic, here in Scotland one of the local TV channels has a lot of Australian and NZ crime dramas and documentaries available to stream. Are there that you can think of that you would recommend? Likelihood is some of them will be on the list. Thanks.

2022-07-05 08:52:01 +0000 UTCHi Casefile team! I'd firstly like to say thank you- in your Bernd Brandes/Armin Meiwes episode, you mentioned the band Rammstein writing a song inspired by the events. I went and listened... and they're now one of my favourite bands :-) My question is about language. Do you ever have to double check if a word is widely understood outside of Australia, or translate a bit of Aussie slang to make the narration accessible to international listeners?

2022-07-05 05:41:31 +0000 UTCLoved the recent cases with Alison and Franca surviving their terrible ordeals and changing lives and society. Will you do more stories with inspirational survivors?
Stefan Bradley
2022-07-05 02:44:15 +0000 UTCI've always enjoyed writing but sometimes can find it overwhelming to decide how to start. How do you compile all of the information and research related to a case and then ultimately choose the best way to present it as a narrative? Do you write parts as you go or wait until all research has been finished? I'd imagine this process would need to be done very efficiently given how many cases you cover.

2022-07-05 02:21:16 +0000 UTCHello Casefile Team My question is Do you prefer Australian crime or do you prefer other countries like us in the US ? I appreciate all you do and all the hard work you put into the episodes Thanks Renee
Renee
2022-07-05 01:04:58 +0000 UTCThis is a question, mainly inspired by JasonInHell episode - is there a reason behind including/not including the 9-1-1 call and other external media in other episodes? I would love to hear more of it and I feel it really connects you more to the case. I know you have done it before but it is few and far between.

2022-07-05 00:58:58 +0000 UTCHi guys you might have got this question before but figured I'll ask: how do you feel about genealogy testing? Like for me personally it's great that it's being used to solve many many cold cases which probably wouldn't have ever been solved... but on the other hand it's pretty dystopian that our genes are being used/monitored this way right? Just wanted to hear your thoughts? Thanks!

2022-07-05 00:56:37 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this fantastic podcast! Recently I found myself going back to listen to earlier podcasts and I am just as entertained. Writing, narration and sound are spot on! I have a multi part question. This recent release episode had sound bites added which I loved and really added to the story. When I was listening to older episodes that happened quite alot but then seemed to fade out. Was this because sound quality of sound bites weren't that good? Were the sound bites hard to source? One that springs to mind is Sherri Rasmussen and the interview the police had with her murderer. My ear was glued to hear what she would say. Is this something you are bringing back? Either way...love to hear how you guys decided to add the clips into the podcast this week. Always waiting for my patreon notification for new material!

2022-07-05 00:32:18 +0000 UTCHello from the Somewhat United States! This one’s mostly for Casey, but I’d love to hear from the others: I know you’re into punk and metal, but I’m curious how you feel about the band Midnight Oil? Their lead singer has the distinction of being not only a musician and activist, but also was a member of the Australian Parliament! (Good on ya’ mate!) Alas, my knowledge of Australian music is rather lacking, but I’m also curious your feelings on Colin Hay/Men at Work. Cheers!
Karaoke LEGEND Cosmo Blues
2022-07-05 00:19:31 +0000 UTCHow much research do you, Casey, do for the podcast? Do you look for cases to cover? Have any recommendations on edits for those written by others? Also, is the crime interrupted podcast finished? I really enjoyed those.

2022-07-05 00:15:47 +0000 UTCMost like to see solved, I should clarify.
Jessica Able
2022-07-05 00:02:15 +0000 UTCYou may have been asked this before, but I'm curious what would be the cold case or mystery you'd like to see solved? If you have answered this before, has your answer changed?
Jessica Able
2022-07-05 00:01:24 +0000 UTCCould you please cover the case of Edward Baldock? I haven't seen very much about this case and found it quite intriguing when I learnt about it, especially as someone who has lived in Brisbane
