Casefile

Has anyone tried the new one Casefile have released Silent Waves? Is it worth a listen?

Any other podcast similar to this? I love the delivery and detail but struggling to find others where the presenters voice does not make me want to turn off or the reenactment of the event.
Thanks in advance.

They walk among us.

Dateline have now released loads of their episodes as podcasts - very well done, lots of first hand interviews and hilariously OTT delivery from the hosts. I've burned through about 40 of them in the past couple of weeks. Some heart breakers in there though - thought I was fairly immune by now but was in tears at some of them.

Like others I have found them to be a bit less gripping than previously

But 126 Johnny Altinger.

Straight out of Criminals Minds, chilling to say the least

I have been thinking this also but I think we have become desensitized to murders!!!

I am still enjoying moat of the episodes though.

Just don't find the cases being done interesting tbh. I feel that the narrator is not giving it as much also.

At the start he used write the material now he's just reading it out

So I just listened to the Daniel M one, wow, what an episode. Won’t post anything for fear of spoilers but that was utterly gripping. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah really stuck with me since I've listened to it.

Case 125 this week was very sad, glad they got closure.

The Silk Road episodes are different and excellent. I wish they would do more of the same.

Folks, I’m enjoying trawling through the case file archives picking random ones to listen to, what would be your top 3 episodes for me to check out?

Any multi part episode was good too.

Case 47: Yara Gambirasio

Case 71: Elodie Morel

The episode about the Port Arthur mass killings in Tasmania is something else. Forget what episode it is sorry.

The last one Hinterkaifeck was seemed disjointed in terms of narrative so I didn't even finish it.

The subject matter also was not great.

gruesome last 1/2 hour in that episode alright.

the fact that yer man wasn't bothered when he lops off the head of a hooded boy and finds out that it was his cousin says it all.

Sums it up alright...bloody savages.

Great episode

So well narrated. The only salvation for me was the fact that his parents have such strong faith...really seemed to help them through it.

Great episode

I think Gen why or True Crime Garage did that one, I heard it before. Mad stuff, wrong time, wrong place.

Absolutely horrific. Poor guy. True crime grapple covered it. Much better than Casefile. Explores the history of crime and violence in Mexico too.
