Cold is really good, so in depth and presenters voice is easy to listen too.

Broken Harts hat was mentioned up thread very good also.

I’ve just downloaded Mens Rea. Not sure is it any good yet but they cover Irish cases.

I like it but the early episodes are a little ropey. Stick with it and I think you'll enjoy it.

Been listening to Assassinations Podcast based on a recommendation here. It's well researched and the narrator has one of those pleasing to listen to Scottish accents.

Folks, I discovered Unresolved. Pretty good. Some very interesting cases. Worth a listen.

optogirl · 18-01-2019 11:18am

+1 for COLD - huge amount of direct interviews, recordings, detail.

McGrath5 · 20-01-2019 2:29am

I see according to their Facebook feed, the Elaine O’ Hara episode was the most listened to one of 2018.

listed to a few of these recently. a good comparison is the Eileen o Hara episode which both cover. I thought the Casefile one was much better and less sensationalist. Still, means rea has potential and I like the Irish angle.

New episode out tomorrow

PropJoe10 · 25-01-2019 5:00pm

Listening to one called "Cold" at the moment about a missing woman, Susan Powell. Quite good and worth checking out!

25-01-2019 6:07pm

Just finished Mark and John. Great episode, really bizarre, it's hard to credit that it actually happened. Definitely a case of fact being stranger than fiction.

I have this awful habit of falling asleep at night halfway through casefile episodes....so I'm missing the end to loads of cases & also, sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with my earphones still in, with a different episode running, and I get awfully confused.....first world problems!!

How are the dreams? :pac:

retro:electro · 30-01-2019 5:53pm

Very sad case on Louise Bell. The poor family not knowing where she is, all they want now is to have her body home.
It’s so sad to think that there are hundreds of thousands of missing people’s bodies just scattered throughout the world buried in unknown places.
Real depressing thought.

31-01-2019 7:24pm

the killer Dieter Pfennig you'd wonder why, even tho he obviously a sick fcuk, wouldn't tell them where the bodies are buried now that he has been convicted of Louise Bell's murder also.

he's never going to get out of prison.

awec · 01-02-2019 12:50pm

Does anyone listen to this using the Apple podcast app? Does it constantly play the wrong episode for anyone else?

Like I am on episode 10, when it finishes I'd expect it to go to episode 11, but instead it goes to the very latest episode which is like 150 or whatever?

Am I doing something wrong?

retro:electro · 01-02-2019 12:53pm

I used the apple app religiously until like a year ago because all of a sudden it was giving me a host of trouble. Some podcasts were disappearing and some unlistened episodes were saying they’d been played and vice versa. I now use Overcast and have no bother.

BettePorter · 02-02-2019 12:37am

Disappointed by the 1st episode of the year. (Please ignore anything but my selfish love of casefile...obviously every case is worthy ) but I prefer cases that have an ending... albeit inferred.

Sometimes we know that the boyfriend /Butler did it but they obviously cant say that bit I always feel that the cases that literally are unexplainable ...without even an obvious suspect are a little disappointing from a listening point of view.

Pidae.m · 02-02-2019 10:56am

Today's one is a bit different, it's a 2 parter about a plane crash in 2002 in I think the Ukraine.

Yeah, it's about an air crash in Germany in 2002. Listened to the first part there. Bit slow moving, but got the makings of an interesting one. Can't say I recall hearing about this one before.

runningbuddy · 06-02-2019 12:33pm

Love the new one. So well narrated.

Cienciano · 07-02-2019 8:19pm

Air crash one is really well done so far

PropJoe10 · 10-02-2019 3:56pm

Second part of the air crash story is out. What a sad case for everyone involved. That air traffic control company was absolute scum of the earth.

bobsman · 10-02-2019 8:29pm

Very sad case. Poor Vitalay and others, entire families wiped out.

tomwaits48 · 11-02-2019 9:55am

yeah listened to it last night - very, very sad. superbly produced.

Cienciano · 12-02-2019 11:59am

The air traffic controllers biggest fault was his radio channels. He had 2, he should have had the 2 open to the 2 planes that were going to collide rather than the one that was trying to land at the other airport.

fixXxer · 12-02-2019 8:02pm

Are there any podcasts that deal with Air accidents specifically? It might sound backwards but I watched Air Crash Investigations to get over my fear of flying, find the subject fascinating now.

Case 108: The Kicevo Monster

The Macedonian city of Kicevo is situated within the slopes of Bistra Mountain...

retro:electro · 02-03-2019 5:42pm

I haven’t been into the last few episodes at all.

02-03-2019 6:34pm

I'm a bit behind too, I only listen when I'm in bed so I keep dropping off to sleep. Then I have to go back the following night and find where I left off. So it takes me ages to get through one story

Lately I've been listening to Once Upon a Crime .......... it's also very good. So many great true crime podcasts out there!

Agreed. This weekends in particular I found very unengaging.

Yeah I was listening on a walk and it got to a point were I realised I'd zoned out completely and hadn't 'heard' the last 15 mins.

Very difficult to follow and not interesting

PropJoe10 · 04-03-2019 9:54pm

Yeah that one in Macedonia wasnt the best. I've enjoyed the previous two though (not sure if "enjoy" is the right word for a Casefile episode but you get the idea!)

09-03-2019 11:23am

Five parter coming march 25 .

What will it be?

Says "one of our most requested cases"

pc7 · 09-03-2019 12:39pm

Ohhhhh exciting, haven’t enjoyed last few. Hope it’s not something ‘typical’ like Bundy or that. (In that he’s been done to death, pardon the pun!)

PropJoe10 · 09-03-2019 3:00pm

Think he said he wouldn't cover the Bundy case before, but I like the sound of a 5 parter. Could be Ivan Milat or something along those lines.

09-03-2019 3:08pm

basically now the Casefile guy is just a reader/ narrator for all the cases.

researchers are doing the research and script.

wasn't like this at the start.

so quality will be variable and also how much narrator is "into" the case in question or just going through the narrating motions.

Ivan milat is a great call. Australian true crime done one on how milat couldn't have been soley responsible. Lots doesn't add up.

delly · 09-03-2019 9:49pm

I'll go with Fred West. Either way it'll be a serial killer, so get your wiki searching in gear, as there sure are a lot of them.

PropJoe10 · 10-03-2019 1:42am

I think my favourite series was actually the Silk Road episodes, which I thought were incredible. Maybe they have something else like that up their sleeves. Anyway, cant wait!

Arghus · 10-03-2019 1:50am

I guess I'm one of those impatient types who'd rather not have multipart episodes. Just one big long one, thanks.

True, that was actually very well narrated and places.

10-03-2019 10:20am

The Toy Box was excellent although it was hard listening.

SteelyDanJalapeno · 10-03-2019 11:21am

Has to be Ivan milat

Pidae.m · 10-03-2019 11:57am

Instagram post from Casefile

fima · 10-03-2019 5:03pm

It’s Ivan Milat, confirmed on Casefile’s Facebook group.

delly · 10-03-2019 6:02pm

I just googled him and read the headline of what he did, but don't want to read any more if it will be covered on the podcast, but wasn't there another similar case covered a while back, which was referenced as being the inspiration for wolf creek?

Cienciano · 11-03-2019 12:17pm

I don't know anything about Ivan Milat, so this should be good
