2018-01-30 04:41:22 +0000 UTCAgreed. By today's standards with so much information access and oversharing, I love the anonymity of the host! I adore it and i'm equally frustrated by it - which I also love!
Maya George
2018-01-30 04:14:53 +0000 UTCBrilliant! I'm about to tuck into some Domino's. Thanks for your time, Host. Have a great day/night as well :)
Jennifer Murphy
2018-01-30 01:57:19 +0000 UTCThankyou everyone for joining in. Have a great day/night

2018-01-30 01:56:32 +0000 UTCSupreme with prawn always good too
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:56:17 +0000 UTCAbsolutely. No such thing as bad pizza. I love ham and mushroom and meat lovers.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:56:07 +0000 UTCI have a very important question. Do you like pizza?
Jennifer Murphy
2018-01-30 01:53:23 +0000 UTCOh I didn't realize you had done this in the past! I do remember when you played the Mom's testimony in the Stoni Blair episode...talk about horrific :(
Jennifer Murphy
2018-01-30 01:52:44 +0000 UTCLikewise. Thanks for your time host.
Steve Romanow
2018-01-30 01:52:35 +0000 UTCHave a great day/night everyone
Mark Caraway
2018-01-30 01:52:04 +0000 UTCAny other questions?
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:51:48 +0000 UTCEnjoy. Thanks for joking in Jessica
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:51:18 +0000 UTCWell I best go knock some of this assignment on the head. Have a great day Hosty! 😊

2018-01-30 01:51:02 +0000 UTCGillian @ CourtJunkie has a lot of interview content.
Steve Romanow
2018-01-30 01:49:30 +0000 UTCYes we have done in the past. And will in the future where it fits.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:47:11 +0000 UTCHorrific
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:46:40 +0000 UTCAwesome I look forward to it immensely. The documentary interested me but the very name of it suggests bias from the outset. He may well be innocent but there was damning evidence and questions as to his character. There’s a world of transcripts and all sorts out there. Perhaps a separate one on Dassey would also be cool.
ZomZom
2018-01-30 01:46:00 +0000 UTCDo you ever plan on interviewing people for the podcast (relatives of victim, etc)? Not that I could ever get sick of your voice! Just curious :)
Jennifer Murphy
2018-01-30 01:45:19 +0000 UTCSad case going thru our courts here in Michigan of a elementary age kid killing another on the playground. Going to be several years before that can be unpacked.
Steve Romanow
2018-01-30 01:43:35 +0000 UTCI have a feeling that case may be on our potentials list. Will check.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:43:14 +0000 UTCWould love to hear the Casefile take on Avery case!
Captain Flint
2018-01-30 01:42:59 +0000 UTCInteresting police interview etc.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:42:35 +0000 UTCWe do look for cases that have some different elements going on. Not so much suspense. But maybe an interesting investigation. Or interesting trial. Or some other element.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:42:28 +0000 UTCI didn’t realise your anonymity was intentional. Like the Banksy of podcasting :) I agree that it is great that the podcast does focus on the story instead of the host - it makes for good listening.
Amarie
2018-01-30 01:42:06 +0000 UTCYeah I am keen to do one in Avery actually for that very reason. It seemed a bit biased in how it was presented. Maybe for good reason. Maybe not. I have no idea. I don’t know anything about the case other then what was on the Netflix series. I’m keen to have a look though.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:41:12 +0000 UTCWhen looking at a case, how much does the ability to input suspense into the storytelling come into play? The hope I framed that question correctly.
Mark Caraway
2018-01-30 01:40:27 +0000 UTCI am currently doing an assignment on Amanda Knox which occurred in Italy. Now that one has definitely gripped my interest. Ever thought about doing one on Stephen Avery Mr Host 😆 the documentary was quite one sided an impartial view would be good.
ZomZom
2018-01-30 01:39:58 +0000 UTCRobert Hansen is the guy who would kidnap women and take them to his island to hunt them. He inspired the short story "The Most Dangerous Game". I'd love an episode on him
David
2018-01-30 01:39:54 +0000 UTCGood work Jessica!
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:38:38 +0000 UTCThose three countries account for 90 per cent of the audience. Also a lot of the more well known ones are from there. Moors. Yorkshire. EARONS etc. But we have a few cases in the works that are from other locations. We definitely aren’t just going to stick to that.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:38:18 +0000 UTCNo ulterior motive intended to this question: I’ve noticed most cases on the podcast come out of the US, UK, or Australia. Is there a particular reason for that?
Mark Caraway
2018-01-30 01:36:53 +0000 UTCThis is to avoid the irregularity of episode releases we had last year. Like we release 5 in a row. Then need 2 weeks off. Then back for 2 in a row. Then 1 off. It was a bit all of the place. So this will be a set schedule. So everyone knows where we are at. And there may still be occasional bonus episodes on top as welll
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:36:45 +0000 UTCWe did a road trip early jan and I put on one of your episodes in the car. My husband then asked me to put another on and requested them again on the way home. He now lives with his headphones in his ears 😂
ZomZom
2018-01-30 01:36:24 +0000 UTCSome more news for you all. This year we are going with a three on one off schedule.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:35:38 +0000 UTCi'm glad you remain annon. it really does make the podcast more about the story and not the personality of the story teller. thank you for doing such a great job.
kellie
2018-01-30 01:35:30 +0000 UTCWas happy to see on your site that hardcore history was an influence. Love that one too.
Steve Romanow
2018-01-30 01:34:52 +0000 UTCHave you thought about doing Robert Hansen?
David
2018-01-30 01:34:51 +0000 UTCYes
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:33:24 +0000 UTCYea
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:33:21 +0000 UTCi'd love to hear you cover Ivan Millat and family at some point
kellie
2018-01-30 01:33:08 +0000 UTCEnjoy. Thank you Laura.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:33:06 +0000 UTCOur first multi parter for the year.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:32:53 +0000 UTCTime to eat! Love you, love the show and looking forward to the next Casefile! 💕
Laura Carlson
2018-01-30 01:32:43 +0000 UTCNot many. Some breaking news though. The month of February will be a three parter.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:32:42 +0000 UTCThank you Steve
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:32:19 +0000 UTCThankyou Elizabeth
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:31:59 +0000 UTCHaha. Wouldn’t stay a secret long then I reckon
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:31:49 +0000 UTCI think it's fantastic that you choose to remain anonymous. It adds to the intrigue of the show!
Jennifer Murphy
2018-01-30 01:30:04 +0000 UTCHow many cases do you have in backlog
Mark Caraway
2018-01-30 01:29:48 +0000 UTCYour episodes set in the 60s and 70s Australia are pretty gripping.
Steve Romanow
2018-01-30 01:29:37 +0000 UTCYes! I'd pay it! And I wouldn't tell anyone who you are. I'd keep it to myself. Promise. Ha ha!
Elizabeth stewart
2018-01-30 01:29:16 +0000 UTCJust want to say hi and I'm still loving the show! Thanks for all of the hard work! It is truly appreciated.
Elizabeth stewart
2018-01-30 01:28:05 +0000 UTCYou should create a Patreon level for some obscene amount and reveal your identity as the reward. Just kidding. Lol!
Mark Caraway
2018-01-30 01:27:35 +0000 UTCI find it suits the show and the content. We make it about the story/the case as opposed to a host/personality.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:26:38 +0000 UTC👍
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:26:09 +0000 UTCYeah keep an eye on it. Looking forward to Michelle McNamara’s book coming out in a few weeks.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:25:54 +0000 UTCIt’s almost like it was meant to be
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:25:29 +0000 UTCThe ones that have me punching the steering wheel in frustration are the East Area Rapist type shows. So many people. So much evidence. And no damn person on the hook for it. It had to be incompetence
Stuart Sharman
2018-01-30 01:25:21 +0000 UTCYou have probably been asked this 1 million times so I apologise for the repetition but what are the reasons you choose to remain anonymous?
Anastasia
2018-01-30 01:25:09 +0000 UTCHi Anastasia
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:25:00 +0000 UTCThey are one of my favourites and if you like so cal punk music they might be right up your alley. Thanks for answering :)
Jennifer Murphy
2018-01-30 01:24:50 +0000 UTCDo you still follow the EARONS case?
Mark Caraway
2018-01-30 01:24:20 +0000 UTCIt’s amazing how well you all work together. It seems it was truly meant to be. 😄 Your podcast is so well done, you’d think you all had been cooking it up for a while. 😂
Laura Carlson
2018-01-30 01:24:00 +0000 UTCHi there Casey
Anastasia
2018-01-30 01:23:56 +0000 UTCHi Steve. Yes it can be at times. But I try my best. It’s important to step away and take a break from the show at Times.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:23:10 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say hi and love your team's work. Is it hard for you to get time for interests that are not true crime?
Steve Romanow
2018-01-30 01:22:28 +0000 UTCAh yes the Criminal one? Yeah I still haven’t listened. I’ve been told by many I should check it out. I will listen to that one episode eventually.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:21:23 +0000 UTCThankyou very much Amarie
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:20:46 +0000 UTCFunnily enough we are rarely in that position! It’s pretty much a case of whatever episode is done and ready we go with it!
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:20:30 +0000 UTCA listener said it best on our Facebook page. “I want to believe”
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:20:01 +0000 UTCYep they are hard to put together too. They make me angry.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:19:37 +0000 UTCThe Criminal ep was an interview with one of the sisters. It’s only short and was for me at least, a good way to cap all your hard work. Top stuff from your team
Stuart Sharman
2018-01-30 01:19:29 +0000 UTCThankyou Monique. we got the popular vote in the castaway awards last year thanks to you our amazing listeners voting in. And the iTunes recognition last year and the year before. Not really awards as such - but pretty awesome to get.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:19:07 +0000 UTCI’m grateful you did take the plunge. The quality of your stories and production are very impressive. I find myself listening to episodes more than once. Thank you!
Amarie
2018-01-30 01:17:47 +0000 UTCWhen you have quite a few cases ‘ready to go’ how do you decide the order of release for each episode?
Gemma Harris
2018-01-30 01:17:40 +0000 UTCNo never have. Just one of those bands that have escaped me over the years for whatever reason. I’ve heard they’re great though.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:17:28 +0000 UTCNo we didn’t! We all met online. I found Mike on a freelancer site when I realised I needed serious help with production. And Anna joined us about 1 year later. Very lucky to assemble such a team.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:16:56 +0000 UTCOn the Anglin letter that came to light a couple weeks ago, what're your thoughts? Hoax or legit?
Svennie
2018-01-30 01:16:01 +0000 UTCHi Stuart. No none. I spend so much time doing casefile the last thing I want to do is listen to true crime in my spare time. Not because I don’t think they wouldn’t be great - I’ve heard a lot of good things about a lot of other crime pods - but I get enough if you know what I mean. I didn’t even know criminal did Alcatraz. It was the listeners who pointed that out after we released.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:15:54 +0000 UTCThankyou Mikki. Thankyou for turning your friends onto us! Always appreciated.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:14:20 +0000 UTCThankyou Sheri. Yes a lot of hard work went into that series. Terrifying case.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:13:55 +0000 UTCI find the episodes where there is a seemingly obvious perpetrator who goes unpunished due to some misstep by the police or a strange decision by a jury so hard to listen to. The Honolulu strangler springs to mind.
Barry Craig
2018-01-30 01:13:12 +0000 UTCIf I had to take a guess. I’d say it was personal in someway. It’s hard to believe it was a Random - but it’s certainly not beyond the realms of possibility. And just a note - I don’t know anything that wasn’t in the episode. So I’m not making that guess based on any special info. Just a hunch I had while doing it. But who knows. Hopefully they solve it.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:13:11 +0000 UTCHow many awards now? Any particular award a stand out for the team? I know its not about the awards, but congrats on being recognized for all CF team does
MMH
2018-01-30 01:12:34 +0000 UTCWait till you get to Case 54: Daniel Morecombe. Absolute highlight episode
Stuart Sharman
2018-01-30 01:12:19 +0000 UTCHello! Do you listen to Sublime?
Jennifer Murphy
2018-01-30 01:09:54 +0000 UTCDid you, Anna and Mike know each other before you began the podcast? You have such a great team that is all around the world it seems.
Laura Carlson
2018-01-30 01:08:55 +0000 UTCJust wondering if you’ve listened to any other podcasts covering similar cases before or after you do your episodes? EG Criminal and the Alcatraz ep. Last Podcast on the Left and Jonestown
Stuart Sharman
2018-01-30 01:07:55 +0000 UTCThank you so much for your continued hard work. You’re the highlight of my week. More and more of my friends are tuning in and getting the word out!
Mikki
2018-01-30 01:07:49 +0000 UTCWe generally try and avoid anything that is before the courts currently.

SX
2018-01-30 01:07:21 +0000 UTCSome great ones there - cheers!
Captain Flint
2018-01-30 01:07:13 +0000 UTCAlthough the podcast was started just as a hobby. Something I wanted to do for a while and thought I’d have a crack. No experience in podcasting/writing production or anything like that. Just took a plunge.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:06:39 +0000 UTCThankyou Amarie. I don’t go into that. About the only thing I won’t discuss in the AMAs. Sorry.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:05:55 +0000 UTCRegarding the Eric Coy case: what's your best guess for why the murderer did what they did? Thrill kill? Child predator who was disrupted? Just a crazy person who was going to kill the next person to come by?
Nick P
2018-01-30 01:05:40 +0000 UTCAs weird as this sounds. I generally avoid the news. Too depressing.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:05:11 +0000 UTCI absolutely love your podcast! So well put together! I would love to know more about you personally - what is your background? How did you end up as a podcast host?
Amarie
2018-01-30 01:04:43 +0000 UTCIf I can add to this question, how soon is too soon to be considered for an episode? Would you ever hold off out of respect?
Barry Craig
2018-01-30 01:04:43 +0000 UTCBlink 182. Nofx. No use for a name. Strung out. Teenage bottlerocket. The lillingtons. Metallica. Avenged sevenfold. Gyroscope. Body jar. Frenzal Rhomb. Parkway Drive. Silver chair. Nirvana. Bad religion. I could go on and on and on. But those are some.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:04:41 +0000 UTCI liked the Hollywood shootout because only the bad guys died.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:03:24 +0000 UTCIs there a story in the news that Is particularly interesting to you right now? Not necessarily something you’d have to do an episode on. Just something that piqued your interest.
Mikki
2018-01-30 01:03:06 +0000 UTCHello Casey, Who are some of your favourite bands?
Captain Flint
2018-01-30 01:02:53 +0000 UTCActually none. We generally know pretty early if a case won’t be suitable. So we’ve never had to abandon anything after speanding a long time on it.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:02:20 +0000 UTCI’m sure this has been asked before: do you have a favourite episode?
Emily Chivers
2018-01-30 01:01:49 +0000 UTCNo we never have a set time in mind. It’s just weird that a lot have all come in at the same time recently.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:01:09 +0000 UTCYeah we managed to recover about 60 per cent or so. But it took a lot of time. And going through the whole thing trying to work out what parts needed re recording was a punish. As it wasn’t just one section that was missing. It was random parts throughout the whole episode. But we got there.
Casefile True Crime
2018-01-30 01:00:17 +0000 UTCI am a new Patreon friend so apologies if you have answered this already: what is a case you guys worked on for a while but ultimately had to abandon? And why?
Rohit
2018-01-30 00:59:51 +0000 UTCThe last few eps have been set around the 1hr mark. Are you looking to keep that sort of time frame in future eps?

2018-01-30 00:59:46 +0000 UTCNot to sure what will be happening with early release this year. We may do something. But no details at the moment.
