Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:48:38 +0000 UTCThe post cast is doing extreamly well, you must be so proud! Keep up the wonderful work.
Sam
2017-07-16 11:48:15 +0000 UTCThank you Manjari. Yeah sure. I reckon we can get other casefile team members to do AMAs in the future.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:48:12 +0000 UTCThank you all so much for joining in the AMA and thank you all for your support.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:47:10 +0000 UTCSnowtown as far as disturbing details. But all of the unsolved ones as well. Pafticuarly those where we have had contact with family members.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:44:12 +0000 UTCOf the cases you've covered, which has stuck with you the most?
Joan G
2017-07-16 11:38:29 +0000 UTCHe has done several podcasts to promote his book but also shares some great stories of his career
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 11:36:05 +0000 UTCHe would certainly be interesring to talk too.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:34:58 +0000 UTCWe havent no. Not a bad idea though.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:34:39 +0000 UTCAlso, many thanks to Anna for taking the time to answer me. :)
WillOwl11
2017-07-16 11:29:50 +0000 UTCThis is one of the very interesting perspective of your podcast for me, since we usually don't see the amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. Are you planning to have some of your team members on the AMA chat in the future? Or is it a very unpopular demand to satisfy?
WillOwl11
2017-07-16 11:29:20 +0000 UTCTake your time! I don't put a time limit on these either. :) I'm interested because I'm into research and writing as well, although on the technical side. The worst thing I deal with is understanding programmer's language!
WillOwl11
2017-07-16 11:24:20 +0000 UTCI am new To true crime yes, but I have been researching true crime for my own interests since I was a teenager, I was that person with the law & order ringtone. So the shock and horror is not new to me. But what I really have found challenging is the delicate balance between telling a great story and respecting those involved. Sometimes i have to read over things multiple times to make sure it's the right thing to say. This is very different than other research areas! This is people's suffering, I get through this by thinking, if this was me or my loved one....
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:23:08 +0000 UTCHere is Anna's response Manjari.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:22:50 +0000 UTCHave you thought of doing interviews? People such as Ron Iddles?
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 11:22:14 +0000 UTCShouldnt be too much longer Manjari
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:19:16 +0000 UTCNice work! Thanks for recommending us.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:18:24 +0000 UTCYeah great books. I've ready many of them more then once. No worries Gillian. Always a pleasure to run these AMA's.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:16:51 +0000 UTCFYI I have just finished showing my old lady how to listen to podcasts. I gave her two suggestions to subscribe and listen to, casefile and conversations lol
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 11:16:22 +0000 UTCI've never read any Michael Connelly, I might even download one of his now. Thanks, for the recommendation, Host and thanks for chatting with us.
Gillian Freeman
2017-07-16 11:14:42 +0000 UTCThank you :)
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:14:06 +0000 UTCNope i didn't and duly noted and respected :)
Cathryn Adams
2017-07-16 11:13:55 +0000 UTCI remember the fear people had that anyone could be next. It was shocking; like a massacre in slow motion.
Nick P
2017-07-16 11:13:22 +0000 UTCSorry Cathryn, I won't answer anything related to me personally. Sorry. I mentioned that back in the very first few AMA's. But I understand not everyone would have seen those.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:13:21 +0000 UTCI hesitate to ask, but can you say what industry you're usually in? I imagine you're a journo..? Sorry if too personal!! I just wonder because the quality of work is so good.
Cathryn Adams
2017-07-16 11:11:57 +0000 UTCGood point Cathryn.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:11:49 +0000 UTCMaybe allowing input on what cases get selected? Not sure if practical though.
Nick P
2017-07-16 11:11:45 +0000 UTCI think that one of the great things about this podcast, as with other shared mass comms, is the sense of boundary-less community it fosters around the world, between like minded people. So releasing them earlier, while a privilege, would seem to contradict the community of listeners... if that makes sense. I like it all as is, but incorporating video bonuses online would be the logical next step for me.
Cathryn Adams
2017-07-16 11:10:45 +0000 UTCStill around if there are anymore questions.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:10:26 +0000 UTCI like it. Will definitely start thinking about this. Can't guarantee it would be anything great, but I like the idea. Good stuff.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:06:43 +0000 UTCThank you very much! :)
WillOwl11
2017-07-16 11:05:21 +0000 UTCYes! That sort of stuff would be great. I wouldn't want anything to take away from the genuine face value of the podcast, the honesty behind it has always appealed to me and it would be a shame to loose that through paywalls or hidden episodes. But additional bonus stuff would be great!
Monny Pirovano
2017-07-16 11:02:29 +0000 UTCHi Manjari. No worries. I don't put a time limit on these. I'll ask and get back to you.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 11:02:06 +0000 UTCI second that idea!
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 11:02:05 +0000 UTCI'm happy as it is. I figure the contribution is to help you do what you do. And you all do it so well.
Gillian Freeman
2017-07-16 11:01:46 +0000 UTCWhat about some behind the scenes bonuses? i.e. How you prep for the podcast, recording etc. obviously not including the narration! ;)
Amity B
2017-07-16 11:01:09 +0000 UTCHi! I'm a bit late but my question is actually for Anna, is she's available. I remember she'd mentioned that she's new to true crime research while talking about the EARONS case. What does she feel is unique or challenging to true crime from a research perspective? Other than the psychological reaction to some horrific things, of course.
WillOwl11
2017-07-16 11:00:43 +0000 UTCNo worries. Hopefully I'll be able to keep a straight face and play dumb of it ever happens :)
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:59:44 +0000 UTCI've thought about that with other podcasts releasing episodes early. For me that wouldn't really have additional value, I think I'd sooner be sad about already having heard the podcast when it airs for everyone, then happy about being able to snipe it a few days earlier
Monny Pirovano
2017-07-16 10:58:55 +0000 UTCCan't guarantee we will cover it. But very possible. Has been requested a few times.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:58:55 +0000 UTCThank you :) I have been curious about that for a while, lol.
Amity B
2017-07-16 10:58:46 +0000 UTCYep. It is on our list of potentials.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:58:38 +0000 UTCHave you considered doing an epiaode on the Washington DC sniper murders?
Nick P
2017-07-16 10:58:20 +0000 UTCHi Amity. That is a good one. Don't mind answering at all. I Can honestly say no one ever has!
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:57:57 +0000 UTCCasefile team member Anna is also around if you have any questions for her. We are currently discussing ways to improve the Patreon experience. One request from a lot of you has been early release on episodes for Patreon supporters. Any other ideas out there?
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:57:19 +0000 UTCGreat question!!
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 10:57:16 +0000 UTCHi Host :) Has anyone recognised you when you've been going about your day to day activities from hearing your voice? No worries if you don't want to answer this one!
Amity B
2017-07-16 10:56:34 +0000 UTCNo unfortunately. We are monitoring a few cases. Claremont. And Family Law Court Murders. Even today's episode On Simone Strobel. Others as well. But nothing in the immediate future.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:54:21 +0000 UTCDoesn't sound like something I'd fancy watching.
Gillian Freeman
2017-07-16 10:53:44 +0000 UTCAre there anymore mini update episodes coming any time soon?
Nick P
2017-07-16 10:52:40 +0000 UTCI took a deep breath and clicked play. I last 1 minute then nearly vomited. I dread to know what the other 3 minutes were like.
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 10:52:06 +0000 UTCHaha I so agree! Watching it didn't even come across my mind, I do like my sleep
Monny Pirovano
2017-07-16 10:51:28 +0000 UTCDoesn't sound like we will be covering that one then!
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:50:43 +0000 UTCI couldn't watch the video, I think I'd have PTSD if I did, going by the description of it!!!
Daniel Russo
2017-07-16 10:50:28 +0000 UTCYeah well that's what we were all hoping. Get through the Thurston/Smith/Cronk/Slater/GI era. Then Cameron Munster comes out and puts in a performance like he did. Gagai was absolutely brilliant. Player of the series. I think there is some dark days ahead still for NSW unfortunately.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:49:56 +0000 UTCYes so did I. I was very disturbing. I battled with my conscious wether to watch the video or not.
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 10:48:53 +0000 UTCLaurie Daley looked like he'd been on a 3-day bender pre match haha. It was all a bit confusing, I'd pegged them to beat us by loads. Anyway, it won't always be so one-sided. The days of the Aussie cricket dominance are over too :(
Gillian Freeman
2017-07-16 10:48:22 +0000 UTCYeah there was one just last week, that dude was/is sick
Monny Pirovano
2017-07-16 10:47:42 +0000 UTCI listened to Luka magnotta on another podcast, it was so disturbing but fascinating at the same time
Daniel Russo
2017-07-16 10:47:22 +0000 UTCThere's probably a 4th amendment issue there that would make that impossible
Nick P
2017-07-16 10:46:27 +0000 UTCI remember my father begrudgingly surrendering his semi autos but to this day he agrees it needed to be done.
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 10:45:37 +0000 UTCHmm, Yeah that would be interesting. Wonder what the reaction would be if that was proposed.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:45:09 +0000 UTCWhat most think these days
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:44:07 +0000 UTCLol @ Sia Wig
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 10:43:43 +0000 UTCYeah I was pretty young when it happened. So I don't really remember the debates and controversy side of things. But Andrew has nailed it with what most hunk these days.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:43:43 +0000 UTCThanks also for doing the staggered timing AMAs, for us international fans! What I love about Casefile is learning new details about cases which I'm already aware of, plus new cases I didn't know about; I'm excited for the upcoming British episode, though each and every show you do is brilliant. On the subject of EARONS, I find it incredible really that it isn't standard procedure to take a DNA sample from someone once they've died, to run it through the database. Imagine how many unsolved crimes could be cleared up that way, that would otherwise go forever undetected? Of course, I'm all for compulsory national databases...!
Steve D
2017-07-16 10:43:39 +0000 UTCIt was controversial at the time but 20 years later I think most Australians agree that is was a good move
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 10:42:04 +0000 UTCGreat to hear you had a good time, were not too bad ;) also I forgot to say, but thanks for the double time slot. Actually gave me a shot to chip in :-)
Monny Pirovano
2017-07-16 10:41:53 +0000 UTCWe are used to it. No biggie. Could tell in the very early part of the game they were gone. Reminded me of teams that used to play our dominant Aussie cricket teams with Warne, Mcgrath, Waugh and co. Teams were beaten before the match. England in the 90s in particular. That's what game three looked like. It Was over before it started.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:41:48 +0000 UTCHe could wear a Sia wig haha
Gillian Freeman
2017-07-16 10:41:05 +0000 UTCPort Arthur led to dramatic changes in gun laws in Australia. Do most Australians think that should be obvious, or is it still controversial? Here in the USA, it seems that would be impossible to ever happen.
Nick P
2017-07-16 10:40:27 +0000 UTCHaha well since you mentioned it, it was a fantastic win for QLD... again :)
Gillian Freeman
2017-07-16 10:38:24 +0000 UTCThank you Steve. Thanks for joining. Always a pleasure to speak to our Patreon supporters. We do have a British one coming up in the next 3-6 weeks. Not sure off the top of my head exactly when it will drop. But one is being worked on. Agree. Can only pray he is caught one day. Or at least identified for closure if he is dead.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:37:59 +0000 UTCI second that, a worldwide live tour. I'd definitely go!
Steve D
2017-07-16 10:37:27 +0000 UTCYeah but it would be unique
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 10:37:05 +0000 UTCHaha. Yeah. Or a really good make up job. Would be a bit awkward. Sillohute behind a screen or something. Who knows.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:36:24 +0000 UTCNow cue the insults about the state of Origin :(
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:35:41 +0000 UTCHow cool would it be to do some live shows! You would have to wear a balaclava or something to hide your identity though
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 10:35:39 +0000 UTCThank you Gillian.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:35:22 +0000 UTCAn Australian one :) Can't give too much away.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:35:01 +0000 UTCWhat do you have in mind?
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:34:47 +0000 UTCAlthough one Anna recommends is Canadian True Crime. Very good.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:34:29 +0000 UTCHi Host, and greetings from the UK; it's a pleasure to be speaking with you. Thank you for the immense amount of hard work you and your team do in making each Casefile episode; I love listening to them. The EARONS editions were incredible to say the least; how that guy hasn't been caught yet is astonishing. Do you have any British cases upcoming?
Steve D
2017-07-16 10:33:57 +0000 UTCAny clues will give it away.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:33:43 +0000 UTCYeah definitely. If we find the appropriate cases.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:33:08 +0000 UTCHi Host, congratulations on another big milestone and continuing to do such a great job. I found today's case really fascinating. I'd never heard of it either.
Gillian Freeman
2017-07-16 10:32:43 +0000 UTCYeah we saw on social a lot of people picked Milat. So you were alone there.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:32:28 +0000 UTCWhat state is the podcast produced in?
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 10:32:21 +0000 UTCMy second team in world cups. If Australia is knocked out or didn't qualify.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:31:58 +0000 UTCThank you very much Monny. Thoroughly enjoyed my time in the Netherlands - a few years ago now. Great spot.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:31:32 +0000 UTCThank you Daniel. I don't actually listen to any true crime podcasts myself. But I'm sure plenty of others will be able to help you out. The podcast I listen too. Are Hardcore History. Joe Rogan. And Jocko podcast. Plus Rugby league related podcasts. My favourite sport.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:30:37 +0000 UTCWould it be possible to utilise a chat app to accommodate the AMA's in the future?
Anastasia
2017-07-16 10:29:35 +0000 UTCI enjoyed the format of the Donna Wheeler episode hat was set up as a whodunit with three suspects. Any chance you will do more cases like that?
Nick P
2017-07-16 10:29:17 +0000 UTCMr Cruel.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:27:55 +0000 UTCThank you Cathryn. Yes been back full time since about May last year. It's definitely challenging. But also rewarding. Very fortunate to have such an awesome team. Wouldn't be possible without them.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:27:24 +0000 UTCExciting! I thought today's was going to Milat, so was pleasantly surprised. If that's a thing.
Cathryn Adams
2017-07-16 10:26:43 +0000 UTCClue?
Anastasia
2017-07-16 10:26:38 +0000 UTCFor sure. Very possible we could.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:25:34 +0000 UTCNetherlands checking in. Just want to compliment and thank you for all your hard work, you create a uniquely fantastic podcast me and some of my friends look forward to each week :)
Monny Pirovano
2017-07-16 10:24:39 +0000 UTCCasefile is by far my fav crime podcast 🙌🏽🙌🏽 but what's your suggestions for other like minded podcasts out there to fill in my drive time between casefile episodes?
Daniel Russo
2017-07-16 10:24:35 +0000 UTCAt this stage yes. Unfortunately. Would rather keep the quality as high as we possibly can over quantity.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:24:34 +0000 UTCIn your opinion do you think Mr Cruel really abducted Carmen or was it a drug related payback?
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 10:24:04 +0000 UTCDoubtful given the amount of research and work involved. But should never say never.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:23:44 +0000 UTCHi Host, cracking job. Loving the difference between the long series intensive style vs the one offs like today. I recall you saying in the beginning that it began due to time off work, but, are you back and working full time now? That would be quite challenging.
Cathryn Adams
2017-07-16 10:23:31 +0000 UTCOnce there is more information regarding the Karen Ristevski case I hope that you consider covering it...
Anastasia
2017-07-16 10:23:23 +0000 UTCI couldn't possibly choose. All of the ones we have covered.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:23:02 +0000 UTCUnreasonable? Unrealistic?
Anastasia
2017-07-16 10:21:48 +0000 UTCAny chance of 2 episodes per week?
Anastasia
2017-07-16 10:21:27 +0000 UTCThank you Arnolphe
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:21:22 +0000 UTCIf there could be one unsolved case, either covered by Casefile or not, that could be solved tomorrow what would you choose?
Nick P
2017-07-16 10:21:22 +0000 UTCI Should probably come up with something better then host! But for now I guess it is.
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:21:04 +0000 UTCWhere do you join us from
Casefile True Crime
2017-07-16 10:20:34 +0000 UTCIs "Host" your official podcast name now?
Andrew Eastwood
2017-07-16 10:20:32 +0000 UTCHello Anastasia.
