Cheers Sammi! You're like a true crime guru!

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 03:19:33 +0000 UTC

Hope things get better for you Adam, you and Matt asked some great question today!

Sam

2017-01-31 03:17:51 +0000 UTC

I don't know if you are familiar with some of our local Canadian cases such as Paul Bernardo and Lukas Magnata. Bernardo lived close by where we live and he targeted young girls on the street next to ours. Magnata went to the same high school as my kids. Very creepy! (We actually live in a nice part of the city)

Michelle Cleland

I know, it defies belief a mother could have done that.

Gillian Freeman

2017-01-31 03:16:51 +0000 UTC

We will wrap it up now. Thankyou for everyone for tuning in. Thank you for all the questions. And thank you for your support on Patreon. We are super appreciative of it.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 03:15:48 +0000 UTC

Scary stuff. Especially knowing she was lured by a mother who had 6 children

Sam

2017-01-31 03:14:49 +0000 UTC

Thank you Kym.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 03:14:48 +0000 UTC

I'll check that one out Gillian. It doesn't ring a bell.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 03:14:35 +0000 UTC

I have to go now too - but thanks for arranging this session and all the very best for continuing success with the podcast - you're providing a great deal of fresh information to an obviously enthusiastic audience!!!

Kym McCauley

2017-01-31 03:14:09 +0000 UTC

Thank you Charmaine.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 03:13:49 +0000 UTC

I am late to the party, LOL. I love this podcast! The quality is outstanding. I now don't feel so alone for liking true crime. Also, as a Canadian, I love when you say "1999" I love your Australian accent.

Michelle Cleland

2017-01-31 03:13:03 +0000 UTC

The Sian Kingi case on sunny coast shook me as a kid and I think was the first time I realised something bad could happen. It's always stuck with me. I think this would be my suggestion, and I think you would do it justice.

Gillian Freeman

2017-01-31 03:12:23 +0000 UTC

Thank you Adam. Keep going with the walking. Hope your health issues improve mate.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 03:11:56 +0000 UTC

Thank you Matt.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 03:11:15 +0000 UTC

I would just like to say thank you for such a great podcast. As others have said, we appreciate the huge effort you and the team go to. I suffer from some health issues, and listening to Casefile while walking has been amazing for me.

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 03:10:59 +0000 UTC

I have to go now Mr. Anon Host but thank you for answering my questions and for you and your teams great work on the show! Look forward to hearing more. Cheers!

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 03:10:27 +0000 UTC

Yes im familiar with those cases. Will potentially cover them.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 03:10:26 +0000 UTC

Sorry latest survey. Not podcast.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 03:09:52 +0000 UTC

I haven't seen the stats from the latest podcast. But from the first one 13% 18-24. 40% 25-34. 30 % 35-44 13% 45-54 4% 55 and above.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 03:09:40 +0000 UTC

The Mark Valera and Belinda Van Krevel cases are worth a look also

Sam

2017-01-31 03:08:18 +0000 UTC

Yeah, I listened to that one. Very strange.

Gillian Freeman

2017-01-31 03:07:21 +0000 UTC

Have you been able to compile any stats on the age of your listeners?

Kym McCauley

2017-01-31 03:05:25 +0000 UTC

Yes, that's correct.

Sam

2017-01-31 03:05:07 +0000 UTC

That is one case I'm not familiar with at all. That's the one Phoebes fall podcast is on?

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 03:03:23 +0000 UTC

One thing that alarmed is how many light sentences have been handed out for murders in Australia. Terrible.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 03:01:52 +0000 UTC

The phoebe Handsjuk case is pretty strange and sad. Most would say it's unsolved

Sam

2017-01-31 03:01:39 +0000 UTC

After researching so much on these cases have you changed or any of your views changed about people or the law?

Frankie

2017-01-31 03:00:09 +0000 UTC

In my sleep when I'm well and truly over 100 :)

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:59:43 +0000 UTC

Hahah poor Mike! jk

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 02:59:39 +0000 UTC

Interesting! A casefile fun fact eh :)

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 02:59:18 +0000 UTC

I didn't have Mike for the first 6 episodes. So I was going back over those ones trying to clean them up. But since then I've never listened to a full completed produced episode of casefile.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:58:25 +0000 UTC

I don't :) once I've done the recording that's it. I never listen to a finished episode. Obvioisly I have to go back during the recording and listen to parts here and there. And that's when I cringe! But once the narration it's done Mike takes over. I'm sure he gets sick of my voice.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:57:31 +0000 UTC

I would probably say Kill Bill if I had to pick one.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:56:06 +0000 UTC

whats your fav tarentino movie?

Sam

2017-01-31 02:55:14 +0000 UTC

How do you go listening to your own voice for hours on end?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 02:53:21 +0000 UTC

I actually read that in an article while doing the first episode on Wanda. The article said something like. "The police casefile is now over...." went on to mention how many statements and documents there were. So that's where that came from.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:52:03 +0000 UTC

How did you come up with "casefile" for the name?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 02:49:03 +0000 UTC

Still have a bit of time if there are any more questions.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:48:49 +0000 UTC

How long did it take for the show to start gaining momentum? I imagine it was quite a shock when you were hitting 1m + plays!

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 02:46:44 +0000 UTC

Brilliant. Cheers.

Gillian Freeman

2017-01-31 02:46:11 +0000 UTC

No issues Gillian. Go for it. The transcripts just aren't referenced like normal written papers would be though. All of the sources are listed at the end and aren't marked in the transcript.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:45:24 +0000 UTC

Adam - A lot of confusion :) so many people still Don't know what podcasts are, especially my family. None of them listen to podcasts. So I got a lot of 'what's a podcast, like YouTube?"

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:44:16 +0000 UTC

Actually, I do have a quick question. I teach academic English to students at uni who need to improve their skills, including listening, and I often use texts to help them in class. If the occasion arises, will it be okay to use excepts of your podcast? Is there any copyright issue with that? Cheers.

Gillian Freeman

2017-01-31 02:42:51 +0000 UTC

If you love the gangland era and blue murder era you have to give it a go.

Sam

2017-01-31 02:42:15 +0000 UTC

It's a great show! Animal Kingdom is also a great film if you do get chance to watch it

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 02:41:39 +0000 UTC

Beside being amazingly proud, what reaction do you get from friends/family about casefile?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 02:41:30 +0000 UTC

I have heard good things about the killing. Will check it out eventually.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:40:41 +0000 UTC

I love The Killing, it's really good.

Gillian Freeman

2017-01-31 02:39:43 +0000 UTC

I haven't seen animal kingdom either :/

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:39:16 +0000 UTC

I need to give the fall mind if a chance, I feel it's very slow and stopped watching

Sam

2017-01-31 02:38:29 +0000 UTC

I haven't seen the killing. The missing or Beon unfortunately. Or the fall. I am a massive x files fan though. Only halfway through the 6 episode new series. That's how behind with tv shows I am.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:38:28 +0000 UTC

Thank you Frankie!

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:37:28 +0000 UTC

Well said Frankie

Sandy Baldwin

2017-01-31 02:37:11 +0000 UTC

As in I don't want to hear from people who have a vested interest in guilty/not guilty. Of course I would want to hear from people with involvement in the case.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:37:04 +0000 UTC

It is truly impressive all of the work you put into each case. I am sure it is a thankless job. I appreciate all of your hard work and attention to detail you put into each episode.

Frankie

2017-01-31 02:36:44 +0000 UTC

I know there a tonne of podcasts out there. But I don't want to hear from people who are connected to anyone. I just want the facts. The witness statements. The interviews. The police files etc.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:35:58 +0000 UTC

nicely dodged ;)

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 02:35:57 +0000 UTC

I think he is guilty

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 02:35:32 +0000 UTC

Is the Adnan file online like the WM3?

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:35:21 +0000 UTC

How could I forget! The Fall is one of my favourites

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 02:34:49 +0000 UTC

Same answer as Avery. I have heard Serial but that's it. (And that was while recovering from a surgery so my focus probably wasn't great). I haven't followed the case closely. I wouldn't give an opinion until I have studied it in detail. Basically a review of the police file. Witness statements, interviews etc etc. I think only then I can form a real opinion. Otherwise I'd be guessing.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:34:40 +0000 UTC

What did you think about Animal Kingdom?

Sam

2017-01-31 02:34:10 +0000 UTC

Oh and The Fall (with Agent Scully from X-files).

Sandy Baldwin

2017-01-31 02:34:07 +0000 UTC

I don't think he did it.

Sandy Baldwin

2017-01-31 02:33:05 +0000 UTC

I was waiting for this :)

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:32:52 +0000 UTC

I know you are a busy fellow but do you watch any crime drama tv series? - like The Missing, The Killing, Bron/Broen?

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 02:32:41 +0000 UTC

is adnan guilty?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 02:32:06 +0000 UTC

Thank you Tiffany.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:29:35 +0000 UTC

Thanks for answering again <3

Sandy Baldwin

2017-01-31 02:29:26 +0000 UTC

Thanks for answering again <3

Sandy Baldwin

2017-01-31 02:29:18 +0000 UTC

Thankyou Gillian and thank you Sandy for answering.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:29:16 +0000 UTC

Hi Sandy. It has. Quickly - some I have heard about and wanted to learn more on as I didn't know too much. Other are suggested. Others we stumble across during research for other cases.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:28:43 +0000 UTC

And many more. Too many!

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:27:48 +0000 UTC

Anything Denzel Washington.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:27:10 +0000 UTC

The town I thought was great. So many good ones. Anything Liam Neeson.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:26:59 +0000 UTC

Top 3 movies. Wow. That's tough. I'm the type of person that would have about 40 movies in my top 3. But some that come to mind are rocky. Terminator. Jaws. The departed. Man on fire. Gone baby gone. Training day. Anything Tarantino. And my child hood favs stand by me and the goonies.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:26:21 +0000 UTC

Thank you, I just saw that.

Gillian Freeman

2017-01-31 02:25:54 +0000 UTC

Not a question but I wanted to thank your team for the dignity with which you treat victims and cases. These are sensitive issues and true crime as a genre can be difficult to navigate respectfully. Casefile does an exceptionally good job of this.

Tiffany Chand

2017-01-31 02:25:44 +0000 UTC

I really enjoy it too! Great fighters. To be honest my hat goes off to anyone that's truely that dedicated. Went to a fight a couple of months ago, so much fun! I'm a Diaz brothers supporter, but love supporting the girls! Looking forward to watching how Aussie Megan Anderson progresses.

Sam

2017-01-31 02:25:42 +0000 UTC

Something like 75% of listeners are American and Canadian

Sandy Baldwin

2017-01-31 02:25:09 +0000 UTC

Hi Casefile team! I'm in the classroom (teaching) so I don't have time to scroll through and see what questions have already been asked. Just wanted to say hi and thank you all again for the best true crime podcast out there! And yes, I was interested in your listener demographic. I'm from Australia, but what is the main demographics? Cheers :)

Gillian Freeman

2017-01-31 02:24:13 +0000 UTC

That's definitely what we go for Matt.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:22:34 +0000 UTC

Not sure if this has been asked before but where and how do you find your stories? What makes you chose that crime?

Sandy Baldwin

2017-01-31 02:21:15 +0000 UTC

I understand. One of the things I like most about your podcast is that it takes a more neutral stance than others. The listener is given the facts and can form their own opinion.

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 02:21:08 +0000 UTC

Thanks Van. So do the overseas listeners too. 75 per cent of casefile listeners are from the US and Canada.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:20:58 +0000 UTC

Matt - I really don't like forming opinions based on docos like that. As good as I thought it was it is essentially only coming from one side. Although not as one sided as others out there. I really wouldn't want to form a solid opinion either way unless I got a look at the police file. Studied every interview, every witness statement, all of the evidence. Otherwise you are really only guessing based on whatever info the documentary makers want to tell you.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:19:48 +0000 UTC

top 3 favourite movies of all time... go!

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 02:17:55 +0000 UTC

I just want to say what a great job you and your team have done and continue to do. We are all fans but most importantly we are Australians and enjoy the local context.

Van Hayman

2017-01-31 02:17:01 +0000 UTC

Sammi. Yes massive UFC fan. Shogun being my all time fav fighter (huge pride fan too)

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:16:20 +0000 UTC

You mentioned earlier Making a Murderer - do you think Steven Avery is guilty? (I understand if you don't want to answer lol)

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 02:15:55 +0000 UTC

Yeah I hope they have the right guy and it can offer some closure.

Nikki Innis

2017-01-31 02:15:05 +0000 UTC

Doubtful on the meet and greet. I'm too shy :)

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:14:18 +0000 UTC

Oh and to answer the last part of your question Charmaine it was about 4-5 weeks in total. A good few weeks researching and writing and a few weeks preparing the equipment, recording, and release side of things. Like hosting etc.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:13:55 +0000 UTC

will there ever be a meet & greet?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 02:13:21 +0000 UTC

No I don't think so. So long as we think we can do the story justice.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:12:36 +0000 UTC

is there anything you wont cover?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 02:11:25 +0000 UTC

Nikki. So good that someone has been arrested. But I guess we just have to wait for the judicial process now. No use getting to carried away until then. But really really happy an arrest was made. For so many of these long term u solved cases an arrest never comes.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:09:46 +0000 UTC

That was probably the one that disturbed me the most overall, mainly due to those recordings.

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 02:09:39 +0000 UTC

Yeah that audio of Anneliese didn't make for great sleeping either.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:08:41 +0000 UTC

That was a brilliant one, had no idea that was as terrible as it was. I was hooked with Anneliese Michel (sp?). That's when I became a Monday morning weekly listener

Timothy young

2017-01-31 02:08:00 +0000 UTC

Wow Charmaine. I thought the first one was absolutely horrible. I'm talking strictly the narration. I think the research and story was definitely there. But I cringe at the narration for all of the early episodes actually. I don't do trial recordings. I do several read throughs though. I make a tonne of mistakes in each recording session. But luckily it's easy just to go back and re record that bit. For case 45 it actually took me 5.5 hours to record 1 hour 20 of narration. Due to the errors and there were some equipment issues too.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:07:56 +0000 UTC

You should do the old Melbourne Goal when you get a chance, if you haven't already. So many historical stories. Lots of crime, both female and male.

Sam

2017-01-31 02:06:33 +0000 UTC

What are your thoughts on the latest developments in the Claremont serial killer case?

Nikki Innis

2017-01-31 02:06:25 +0000 UTC

Hi Timothy. Yes it has. That would be Snowtown.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:04:37 +0000 UTC

Hi Tiffany - the research and writing is done by one person. For the cases Vicky and Anna work on I will still go over them though just to make sure they all fit the casefile format. So there is some editing and sometimes some re writing that goes on there. But essentially it's one person per case. I think that's the best way. Otherwise I think it would get to confusing. Once the final copy is done I then record it and send it to Mike. Who edits everything. Cleans up the audio gets it all nice. Mike and Andrew then work together on the scoring on each case. They split each episode into sections and work on the different sections.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:04:10 +0000 UTC

That's amazing! Good work Casefile Team

Sam

2017-01-31 02:03:54 +0000 UTC

This may have already been asked, but which episode was the hardest on your soul if any?

Timothy young

2017-01-31 02:02:36 +0000 UTC

Hi Van. That's how Vicky and Anna were both hired :) They came to us

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:01:20 +0000 UTC

Matt - in a perfect world I like to be at least 5 ahead. But life happens. At the moment we are only two ahead. It ebbs and flows. Some cases take way longer than others which has an effect too

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 02:00:22 +0000 UTC

Hi anon host! What is your team's overall process for compiling an episode? With several people working on different components, it seems like it would be difficult to make it flow, but the show is seamless. About how long does an episode take from start to finish, and are you working on more than one simultaneously?

Tiffany Chand

2017-01-31 01:59:58 +0000 UTC

Many hands make light work. We all like to see quality work and more podcasts. Seeing there are so many passionate true crime podcasters out there have you tried recruiting any volunteers?

Van Hayman

2017-01-31 01:59:50 +0000 UTC

Lindsay Buziak though is one that isn't nearly as well Known as some of the other cases. And that was hugely popular. So it's not always just the well known ones.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:59:25 +0000 UTC

Wow, and that was one of my personal faves

Vinnie Romero

2017-01-31 01:58:44 +0000 UTC

Congratulations!

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 01:58:25 +0000 UTC

Amok is well down on the list in terms of popularity.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:58:08 +0000 UTC

Vinnie - The well known cases definitely. Jaycee Lee was the first case to hit 1 million listens in a week. Falconio which is well known is already at 1.3 million. Which is by far a record for most listens in 2 days. Smashed the record actually.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:57:27 +0000 UTC

Listening to Joe Rogan, I'm guessing you dig UFC?

Sam

2017-01-31 01:57:07 +0000 UTC

Ps that's for the question on current cases.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:56:08 +0000 UTC

Vinnie - I'm sure there is one. I just can't think off the top of my head. I'm sure it will come to me.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:55:53 +0000 UTC

How far in advance is your roadmap so to speak aka - How far in advance do you have episodes planned out?

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 01:55:49 +0000 UTC

Which cases get better responses from what you have seen? Well known cases (North Hollywood Shootout/Peter Falconio)? Unique, off the beaten path cases (Amok)? Historical cases (Sommerton Man)?

Vinnie Romero

2017-01-31 01:55:36 +0000 UTC

I hear it's like riding a bike! Well your in the right country for sports.

Sam

2017-01-31 01:55:35 +0000 UTC

All good Adam hopefully that answers it.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:54:24 +0000 UTC

Sammi - other interests. Music. I'm a massive music fan both listening and playing guitar. Although I haven't played for the past year, no time :) so I'd be very rusty now. I love sport too. Fitness.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:54:09 +0000 UTC

the book 'The Matriarach' is a fantastic read! Brings up a little about Blue Murder characters, Warren Lanfrachi etc

Sam

2017-01-31 01:53:10 +0000 UTC

Vanessa - hard to answer. There is no set process. Some cases I have heard a lot about, or mentioned a lot in the media, but I don't anything about them. So that sparks me to dive into them. Wanda, Snowtown are examples of that. Others are suggested to us, cases I've never heard of but after reading the suggestion I know within 30 seconds of reading up on the case that I have to cover it. Lisa Marie Young and Lindsay Buziak are two examples of when that happened. But basically there is no set formula. Sometimes you stumble across a case and it just grabs you. Vicky and Anna have there own methods too.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:52:52 +0000 UTC

Sorry, didnt see matts question.

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:51:17 +0000 UTC

Elle - yes that has been mentioned to me before. I have been meaning to listen to an episode. One day soon I will! They are doing so well, very popular show. I know a lot of casefile listeners are huge fans of My fav murder.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:49:02 +0000 UTC

have you always been a true crime buff? and how did you first decide to start the podcast, given you dont really listen to true crime podcasts?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:46:33 +0000 UTC

What are current cases or past cases with recent news that are getting you interested for research towards future eps?

Vinnie Romero

2017-01-31 01:46:22 +0000 UTC

Earlier you mentioned you have an interest in history. What other interest do you have apart from crime?

Sam

2017-01-31 01:46:18 +0000 UTC

But still are both good watches.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:46:14 +0000 UTC

PS those Aussie true crime dramas are only loosely based on the facts. Can't let truth get in the way of entertainment.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:46:05 +0000 UTC

Matt. I've never been a massive life log true crime fan or anything. But have always had a passing interest over the years. I followed the WM3 case a little (would love to do an in depth multi part series on that case) and was really interested in the Australian true crime shows 'Blue Murder' and 'Underbelly' - the first season on Melbourne last Gangland killings. Couldn't get into the other seasons. But I would say making a murderer is the one that came along just at the time when I was thinking about starting the podcast which is the one that re sparked my interest.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:45:27 +0000 UTC

It's not unsolved, but from memory he never admitted a thing.

Sam

2017-01-31 01:45:12 +0000 UTC

My Favorite Murder gives you a few shoutouts!

Elle Clarke

2017-01-31 01:44:28 +0000 UTC

Another sleepless night! LOL

Sam

2017-01-31 01:44:14 +0000 UTC

I read something then couldn't bloody sleep! Could happen to anyone

Sam

2017-01-31 01:42:26 +0000 UTC

Adam. No I don't listen to a single one. Not that I don't think they wouldn't be good. But I just don't have time too. I did listen to one episode each of S&S, Gen why, thinking sideways and last podcast on left when I was first planning casefile - just to make sure the format I had planned wasn't going to be the same as any others. And those were the main ones in the genre at the time (other than of course Serial) And when I found out it wasn't going to be. That's it. I haven't had a chance to listen to even one episode of any of the newer ones either.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:41:35 +0000 UTC

ive only heard TLPOTL cover this case too.

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:39:43 +0000 UTC

What goes into the decision making process for which crimes you cover? And how has that changed as your team has grown in size?

Vanessa

2017-01-31 01:39:41 +0000 UTC

Only in a place called "truth or consequences"

Sam

2017-01-31 01:38:50 +0000 UTC

Mugs too... especially a travel one... You're my coffee drinking/NYC subway ride Sunday listening

Vinnie Romero

2017-01-31 01:38:48 +0000 UTC

That's hopeful thinking Kym ;) Yes we will sort some stickers out too.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:38:44 +0000 UTC

When/How did your interest in true crime begin?

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 01:38:23 +0000 UTC

I'm pretty sure the Toy box Killer is on our list of potential future episodes. Will double check.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:38:12 +0000 UTC

Do you listen to any other true crime podcasts?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:37:59 +0000 UTC

I will hold onto mine as a collectable - it may increase in value as the podcast gains further listeners :-)

Kym McCauley

2017-01-31 01:37:47 +0000 UTC

Vanessa - it's not a goal or a hope or anything. But if the opportunity presented itself in the future I'd definitely consider it.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:37:30 +0000 UTC

I'll second that!

Sam

2017-01-31 01:37:20 +0000 UTC

id love to hear the casefile take on the toy box killer.

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:36:50 +0000 UTC

I would be interested in that! And also the stickers :)

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 01:36:47 +0000 UTC

It gets noticed :-)

Kym McCauley

2017-01-31 01:36:21 +0000 UTC

Yeah we didn't sell too many casefile t shirts. We do plan on releasing another batch this year. Hopefully we will start working on that soon.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:36:14 +0000 UTC

The David Ray Parker murders are very disturbing, could be an intoresting cover. Not sure if it's that popular?

Sam

2017-01-31 01:35:46 +0000 UTC

As you gain more popularity and success with the podcast and Patreon, do you hope to make producing Casefile a full time career?

Vanessa

2017-01-31 01:35:14 +0000 UTC

Adam - yes, we do plan to cover some of the bigger cases in the future. Again, it's all about time. But it is definitely on the cards.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:35:00 +0000 UTC

- One day I'll be able to reveal some more info about background, day jobs etc. but at the moment I'd like to steer clear.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:34:13 +0000 UTC

i better get one then...haha

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:34:02 +0000 UTC

I bought a casefile t-shirt but haven't seen any others up here in Brisbane...

Kym McCauley

2017-01-31 01:33:32 +0000 UTC

Matt - only ever for unsolved cases. And even then, not always. But we have done for a few. Buziak being one, as Jeff spoke at the end.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:33:25 +0000 UTC

any plans to cover any of the "big hitters" serial killers?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:33:15 +0000 UTC

I'd love too also but it's about find the time! Lol

Sam

2017-01-31 01:33:11 +0000 UTC

Sammi - I haven't. I would love too. But I haven't even had time to see if they post to Australia. I think it's a great product though. And have heard a lot of positive feedback from listeners.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:31:19 +0000 UTC

fantastic. it really did kick goals.

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:31:09 +0000 UTC

Buziak is a local one for me so it was a favourite of mine! It was pretty eerie after hearing the ins and outs of the case and knowing what I've heard through the grapevine coming together

Vanessa

2017-01-31 01:30:48 +0000 UTC

Adam - we definitely aren't against the idea of using more audio in future episodes. But only when we feel it ads something. I don't want to start dropping in large audio files just for the sake of it. For case 42 I really think that provided some fascinating insight so that's why we went with it. And will do again in the future if we feel it's right.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:30:03 +0000 UTC

As part of your research, do you reach out to the families/people involved?

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 01:29:30 +0000 UTC

Autocorrect Blues... know the feeling

Vinnie Romero

2017-01-31 01:29:05 +0000 UTC

Sorry Buziak answer meant to say Vinnie.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:28:43 +0000 UTC

Particularly hard when there is little straight info out there, as in the Buziak case. A lot of the information is in bits and pieces on forums and little articles. It's really tough separating fact from fantasy too. There are a lot of bizarre theories and rumours floating around online.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:28:13 +0000 UTC

Thanks and Yikes! As a fan who wants more eps and my feelings on those guys... probably for the best

Vinnie Romero

2017-01-31 01:28:07 +0000 UTC

have you tried the huntakiller product?

Sam

2017-01-31 01:27:16 +0000 UTC

Connie - Lindsay Buziak was incredibly complex. That was a good four weeks of solid research. Just trying to piece together a time line and working out who was who and how they fit in and connect with others in the story. It is definitely hard, but worth it for unsolved cases. I think the more coverage and more info there is for cases like that, the better. Some patreon only info for that case - I got a Facebook inbox from one of the Del Alcazars after the episode saying they would like to come on and have a say - but they never got back to me when I tried to set it up.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:26:47 +0000 UTC

I understand about Bowraville. I would recommend listening to it should you have the time - it is in depth and also features a lot of interviews with the families involved.

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 01:25:31 +0000 UTC

I really loved the addition of the interview chatter in episode 42. It added a whole different feel to the podcast. Do you have any plans to experiment with the format?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:25:19 +0000 UTC

How hard can it be to cover cases especially with such complex threads like the Lindsay Buziak case in terms of the work you and your amazing team do?

Vinnie Romero

2017-01-31 01:24:17 +0000 UTC

Thank you Felicity :)

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:23:56 +0000 UTC

Bowraville we probably won't cover. As there is the Bowraville podcast. Which I haven't heard yet, but I would imagine goes into a lot of depth given it is a multi part series. So I would highly doubt we could add anything.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:23:05 +0000 UTC

Yes, definitely don't see the Snowtown movie if the story disturbed you that much. The movie is intense but beautiful as Matt mentioned. Your podcast is unique and that's why I anticipate and listen to it every week so keep covering those lesser known stories. I also appreciate the Australian stories as I don't think they get enough coverage in the podcast world. Thank you :)

Felicity Pietersz

2017-01-31 01:22:48 +0000 UTC

Kym - have been incredibly lucky assembling the casefile team. Some extremely talented individuals that it is a pleasure working with. All great people too.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:22:14 +0000 UTC

I agree Sammi!

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 01:22:11 +0000 UTC

What is your day job?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:21:07 +0000 UTC

Bradly - still record in my spare bedroom (which gives Mike (producer) headaches. He is desperate for me to get a sound treated room) Neuman mike. K&M pop filter. Into my mac, record on garage band. With an apogee one - which I originally bought to record myself playing music before the podcast stared. Which now comes in handy for recording the pod.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:20:29 +0000 UTC

Smart move regarding the Snowtown Movie. I thought it was brilliantly made, however; it's like a car crash you could do without seeing, but just can't look away from.

Sam

2017-01-31 01:20:22 +0000 UTC

the bowraville podcast is really good too.

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:20:20 +0000 UTC

Have you heard of the Bowraville case? Do you plan on doing an episode about it?

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 01:18:55 +0000 UTC

Lisa Marie Young is also one of the most interesting stories and the one that has come back to haunt!

McGarr Media LLC

2017-01-31 01:18:18 +0000 UTC

Haha - Yes it is incredibly disturbing - stayed with me for a long time. As odd as it sounds, it is beautifully shot.

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 01:18:04 +0000 UTC

It's been so interesting to see and hear this podcast become more sophisticated over time - you have certainly assembled a talented team!!!

Kym McCauley

2017-01-31 01:17:11 +0000 UTC

Adam - New South Wales. No I haven't really come across a crime I have wanted to cover but couldn't due to a lack of info yet. There are even some I have covered when there is a lack of info. Lisa Marie Young is probably the one that has the least info out there. But I tried my best to get some info out there about it.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:17:05 +0000 UTC

Could you tell us about your recording setup? Equipment, software, where do you record?

McGarr Media LLC

2017-01-31 01:16:45 +0000 UTC

Joe Rogan is great! Thanks for answering

Sam

2017-01-31 01:15:48 +0000 UTC

Matt - I haven't seen Snowtown no. I have no plans to either. I don't think I need that in my life!

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:15:46 +0000 UTC

What goes in to deciding which cases you choose? Is it a personal connection in any way in terms of location or location of those on your team or close to you?

Vanessa

2017-01-31 01:15:05 +0000 UTC

Justine - that is a factor. I always try and check to see if other true crime pods have covered a particular case. If there is a few others out there I still may go for it, but if it has already been covered extensively then I won't. The Elisa Lam case being one example. I think there is something like 30 different podcast episodes on that case. I highly doubt we would be able to add anything.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:14:53 +0000 UTC

That's refreshing.

Sam

2017-01-31 01:14:27 +0000 UTC

Are there any attempts with future episodes with any interactive or different out of the box methods of the storytelling like the long audio clip in the Sherri Rasmussen episodes?

Vinnie Romero

2017-01-31 01:13:11 +0000 UTC

Sammi - yes, neither has anything to do with true crime. Joe Rogan podcast is the first. He was always telling guests to start there own podcast and that planted the first seed. The other was Hardcore history. I love the detailed storytelling of Dan Carlin. So I tried to use that as an inspiration for the detailed storytelling of casefile.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:12:50 +0000 UTC

Hi Casefile Host and others!

Vinnie Romero

2017-01-31 01:09:40 +0000 UTC

where in Australia are you located? and is there a local crime that you would love t cover, but cant because of lack of info?

Adam Murphy

2017-01-31 01:09:39 +0000 UTC

Thanks for answering my question. That one was incredibly disturbing. Have you seen the film Snowtown?

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 01:09:13 +0000 UTC

Do you try to cover cases that other true crime podcasts haven't, or that aren't that well known?

Justine Kelly

2017-01-31 01:08:31 +0000 UTC

Hi Charmaine

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:08:16 +0000 UTC

Adam - they all each have an affect in some way. Some more then others. But the number 1 still for me is Snowtown. That horrified me. And legit kept me awake at night for a while. I lost sleep. I found it extremely disturbing. But again, that's not to downplay the other cases. None of them are particularly enjoyable topics.

Casefile True Crime

2017-01-31 01:08:02 +0000 UTC

I hope you do continue to remain anonymous. Keeps the attention on the great storytelling and not the name.

McGarr Media LLC

2017-01-31 01:07:39 +0000 UTC

Hi there, just wondering if there is a particular pod cast that inspired you to create your own?

Sam

2017-01-31 01:05:53 +0000 UTC

Sounds great thanks. Which case that you have covered would you say has affected you the most? In terms of you thought about it long affter you did the podcast

Captain Flint

2017-01-31 01:05:28 +0000 UTC

Yes I know :-) but will you continue the anonymity? Seems like a really good feature

Kym McCauley

2017-01-31 01:05:20 +0000 UTC

Yes I'll continue to remain anonymous for a while yet. I prefer it that way. I'm all about low key :)

Thanks darl Xo

Cheers Sammi! You're like a true crime guru!

Hope things get better for you Adam, you and Matt asked some great question today!

I know, it defies belief a mother could have done that.

We will wrap it up now. Thankyou for everyone for tuning in. Thank you for all the questions. And thank you for your support on Patreon. We are super appreciative of it.

Scary stuff. Especially knowing she was lured by a mother who had 6 children

Thank you Kym.

I'll check that one out Gillian. It doesn't ring a bell.

I have to go now too - but thanks for arranging this session and all the very best for continuing success with the podcast - you're providing a great deal of fresh information to an obviously enthusiastic audience!!!

Thank you Charmaine.

I am late to the party, LOL. I love this podcast! The quality is outstanding. I now don't feel so alone for liking true crime. Also, as a Canadian, I love when you say "1999" I love your Australian accent.

The Sian Kingi case on sunny coast shook me as a kid and I think was the first time I realised something bad could happen. It's always stuck with me. I think this would be my suggestion, and I think you would do it justice.

Thank you Adam. Keep going with the walking. Hope your health issues improve mate.

Thank you Matt.

I would just like to say thank you for such a great podcast. As others have said, we appreciate the huge effort you and the team go to. I suffer from some health issues, and listening to Casefile while walking has been amazing for me.

I have to go now Mr. Anon Host but thank you for answering my questions and for you and your teams great work on the show! Look forward to hearing more. Cheers!

Yes im familiar with those cases. Will potentially cover them.

Sorry latest survey. Not podcast.

I haven't seen the stats from the latest podcast. But from the first one 13% 18-24. 40% 25-34. 30 % 35-44 13% 45-54 4% 55 and above.

The Mark Valera and Belinda Van Krevel cases are worth a look also

Yeah, I listened to that one. Very strange.

Have you been able to compile any stats on the age of your listeners?

Yes, that's correct.

That is one case I'm not familiar with at all. That's the one Phoebes fall podcast is on?

One thing that alarmed is how many light sentences have been handed out for murders in Australia. Terrible.

The phoebe Handsjuk case is pretty strange and sad. Most would say it's unsolved

After researching so much on these cases have you changed or any of your views changed about people or the law?

In my sleep when I'm well and truly over 100 :)

Hahah poor Mike! jk

Interesting! A casefile fun fact eh :)

I didn't have Mike for the first 6 episodes. So I was going back over those ones trying to clean them up. But since then I've never listened to a full completed produced episode of casefile.

I don't :) once I've done the recording that's it. I never listen to a finished episode. Obvioisly I have to go back during the recording and listen to parts here and there. And that's when I cringe! But once the narration it's done Mike takes over. I'm sure he gets sick of my voice.

I would probably say Kill Bill if I had to pick one.

whats your fav tarentino movie?

How do you go listening to your own voice for hours on end?

I actually read that in an article while doing the first episode on Wanda. The article said something like. "The police casefile is now over...." went on to mention how many statements and documents there were. So that's where that came from.

How did you come up with "casefile" for the name?

Still have a bit of time if there are any more questions.

How long did it take for the show to start gaining momentum? I imagine it was quite a shock when you were hitting 1m + plays!

Brilliant. Cheers.

No issues Gillian. Go for it. The transcripts just aren't referenced like normal written papers would be though. All of the sources are listed at the end and aren't marked in the transcript.

Adam - A lot of confusion :) so many people still Don't know what podcasts are, especially my family. None of them listen to podcasts. So I got a lot of 'what's a podcast, like YouTube?"

If you love the gangland era and blue murder era you have to give it a go.

It's a great show! Animal Kingdom is also a great film if you do get chance to watch it

Beside being amazingly proud, what reaction do you get from friends/family about casefile?

I have heard good things about the killing. Will check it out eventually.

I love The Killing, it's really good.

I haven't seen animal kingdom either :/

I need to give the fall mind if a chance, I feel it's very slow and stopped watching

I haven't seen the killing. The missing or Beon unfortunately. Or the fall. I am a massive x files fan though. Only halfway through the 6 episode new series. That's how behind with tv shows I am.

Thank you Frankie!

Well said Frankie

As in I don't want to hear from people who have a vested interest in guilty/not guilty. Of course I would want to hear from people with involvement in the case.

It is truly impressive all of the work you put into each case. I am sure it is a thankless job. I appreciate all of your hard work and attention to detail you put into each episode.

I know there a tonne of podcasts out there. But I don't want to hear from people who are connected to anyone. I just want the facts. The witness statements. The interviews. The police files etc.

nicely dodged ;)

I think he is guilty

Is the Adnan file online like the WM3?

How could I forget! The Fall is one of my favourites

What did you think about Animal Kingdom?

Oh and The Fall (with Agent Scully from X-files).

I don't think he did it.

I was waiting for this :)

I know you are a busy fellow but do you watch any crime drama tv series? - like The Missing, The Killing, Bron/Broen?

is adnan guilty?

Thank you Tiffany.

Thanks for answering again <3

Thanks for answering again <3

Thankyou Gillian and thank you Sandy for answering.

Hi Sandy. It has. Quickly - some I have heard about and wanted to learn more on as I didn't know too much. Other are suggested. Others we stumble across during research for other cases.

And many more. Too many!

Anything Denzel Washington.

The town I thought was great. So many good ones. Anything Liam Neeson.

Top 3 movies. Wow. That's tough. I'm the type of person that would have about 40 movies in my top 3. But some that come to mind are rocky. Terminator. Jaws. The departed. Man on fire. Gone baby gone. Training day. Anything Tarantino. And my child hood favs stand by me and the goonies.

Thank you, I just saw that.

Not a question but I wanted to thank your team for the dignity with which you treat victims and cases. These are sensitive issues and true crime as a genre can be difficult to navigate respectfully. Casefile does an exceptionally good job of this.

I really enjoy it too! Great fighters. To be honest my hat goes off to anyone that's truely that dedicated. Went to a fight a couple of months ago, so much fun! I'm a Diaz brothers supporter, but love supporting the girls! Looking forward to watching how Aussie Megan Anderson progresses.

Something like 75% of listeners are American and Canadian
