It's about time it got it's own thread, because we all love it.

Never heard of that case before. Just looked it up. It does look good.

Gentleman Off The Pitch

One thing I dislike about Casefile is that it makes every other crime podcast seem crap in comparison!

I'm half way through the second ep of EAR and i'm not too sure about it!

it started off great but now it just seems very repetitive.... should i stick with it? I finished Jonestown last week and thought that was fantastic!

I felt the same, actually. I was looking forward to EAR after all the positive comments here but just thought it was a bit flat. Jonestown was excellent, but I enjoy the one-episode cases more, in general. The Shannon Matthews one was great - I'd forgotten about all the details on that one, it was interesting to hear it all again.

Listen to Jen Pan , Daniel Morcambe and Amy Lynn Bradley so far - any suggestions ?

The Moors murders is excellent. Really interesting. It's a 3 parter I think.

Tina Watson one fascinated me, really one of my favs.

Yea I think that was my favourite one too. And Tina Watson. Have struggled to find episodes that have gripped me as much.

Port Arthur episode was excellent.

Thought they did it so well, my opinion kept swaying back and forth, the way he described the underwater part really was some image.

Yeah me too - in the end i agreed they didnt have enough evidence for a murder charge

Just realised that I haven't listened to the Tina Watson case... I must add it to the playlist!

That image will haunt me!

Yeah stuck with me for a long time. Gen why did it too I think and it was nothing like casefiles.

Not sure if people are aware that each episode is posted 1 week early on the Tunein app.

Btw the East area rapist case is one that stuck with me, horrific.

Sweet Science

Can anyone confirm if the EAR episodes are worth a listen ? Wasnt a fan of the Jonestown ones

Alot of people enjoyed them, I found it a bit exhausting at times because it seems to just keeping going and going, the crime spree was substantial and went on for years. But it was worth it towards the end when some things tie together.

I would be checking out the moors trilogy and the Yorkshire ripper above the ear, imo.

I found ear fascinating and terrifying at the same time, couldn't listen at night. But I'd never heard the story or outcome so that helped me enjoy it.

I think there was a lot of repetition which made listening a bit of a chore at times. Worth it in the end. I don't there was a way of just skipping over some so they obviously laid it all out

EAR is a great listen.
My personal favourite, it is the same crime over and over again.

I'd give Yorkshire Ripper a listen though, as it is 3 episodes where EAR is 5 i think.

Just listened to part one of the "Moors Murders"...they were sadistic.

Couldn't get into the last few episodes (since Jonestown) and I've listened to them all. That seems to be the opinion on the Casefile discussion group on Facebook. Looking forward to them doing the Graham O'Dwyer case if it happens.

Well worth the listen. The most intriguing one for me so far. How he was not caught boggles the mind.

I've been a fan of this podcast for quite some time. It's definitely the best of the true crime podcasts in my opinion. I also like 'Sword and Scale'. It has good production values, though the narrator on that one seems to indulge in the gore quite a bit more. Off-putting at times.

The EAR/ONS and Moors episodes were definitely the best for me. I moved to the San Francisco Bay Area two years ago and over the time getting to know the local geography. When the EAR/ONS episodes came up I couldn't believe that these were places not too far away from me! eek! Made it seem a lot more real for some reason...

Currently at the 'Walsh Street' episode after letting a few weeks of episodes build up. Very good so far (about half way through it)...

those poor police officers

I like his narration I have to say. He is good at telling a story and building the vision of the scene or situation. Looking forward to the upcoming episodes!

I've been listening to this while cleaning the house, doing chores and sitting on the subway and jogging recently. Excellent Podcast. Very well researched and produced. The guy has a great voice and the Australian twang is relaxing to listen to. On episode 13 so far. I like that each episode is a different case. I still have a lot to listen to, in order to catch up but it's great. Thanks to this thread I discovered this podcast.

I'm not mad on the newer casefiles I think they're a bit rushed? I hope it's not losing it's magic. I wasn't at all gripped by the last two.

I thought the exact same. Maybe I am used to the longer episodes but It felt rushed. I hope it’s not starting to lose it’s magic since seemingly it sold out to the corporates.
