A lot to get through on The Moors Murders on Casefile True Crime. 3 episodes and the last one is 2 hours! Good listen as usual though, thought the 3rd one was going to be overkill, but it was really interesting as usual

My podcast player is only showing up episode one (March 28th). Must have a look and see if there's any way to push them through for download.

That's a bit odd alright. I use Podcast Addict for Android and they all appeared together.

When I just went to the specific podcast section they were all there. Don't know why they didn't show in my feed but they're all downloaded now.

Enjoy. I've listened to Episode 3 today and about half of Episode 4.

I listened to the two part podcast from Adam Buxton with Brian Eno. It was ok - i feel like Adam Buxtons podcast has kind of gone downhill, i really enjoyed it at the start but now its pretty boring and a bit of a nerd-fest.

have to disagree on that , i love his podcasts , great variation of guests . he has people on who have been on on other podcasts but his go off on such weird tangents that make them unique
brian eno and the johnny greenwood ones were always going to be nerd fests but i love both artists

Complaining that a Brian Eno interview is a nerdfest is like saying an interview with Roy Keane was too sports-centric.

I meant the podcast in general. I appreciate Enos work but the podcast has become a bit too navel-gazey for my liking.

I'm trying to download new episodes of Serial and nothing happening, using Podcast addict. Anyone else having this problem?

ILikeBoats · 10-04-2017 2:11pm

Do you need to download it under it's own name - S-town?

Search for 'S-town' instead of Serial

Thanks, yeah, it's coming up with a trailer alright and a 2 minute segment saying all 7 episodes are now available but they're not there to download if that makes sense?

I'm fairly new to podcast addict.

When you open the Podcast Addict app and it lists all your subscribed podcasts, near the top-right corner there should be an icon with a 'plus' symbol surrounded by a circle. Tap that icon to search for the a new podcast. Tap 'search engine' on the next screen and type 'S-town'.

The podcast should appear, click on it and then 'subscribe'. Go back to your list of podcasts and it should appear there then.

That worked. Thanks so much, that's made my day now. I'll go out walking this evening with the doggie and start listening.

Science Vs.

Lemmings episode. Wasn't a huge fan, tbh. They've done better work than this.

DMcL1971 · 13-04-2017 1:27am

Over the last few weeks I have listened to every episode of Casefile. What a great show.

The presenter has such a natural presentation style. Even on the long multi-episode shows he never gets dull. It always feels like he is telling you the story rather than just reading a summary of it. He also manages to paint a great establishing picture for each case and leads you through the twists and turns of even some of the most complicated case with clarity. I'd definitely recommend this as the best true crime podcast I have listened to.

Arghus · 13-04-2017 2:22am

I'd have to agree with you there. I'm not a true crime nut at all, but even I find Casefile to be rivetting stuff. I like the way he just gets on with it, telling you the story from the beginning until he finishes at the end, with minimal ads and no digressions. So many pods suffer from indulgent hosts who just go off on tangents, not Mr. Casefile. Kinda love the fact that he's anonymous.

pilly · 13-04-2017 9:32am

I've been listening to ****town and I have to say I don't get it. To me he's just taking the piss out of trailer trash?

I listened to it all, and i didn't see it like that, maybe one or two episodes. I know the story went off on a complete tangent in episode 3 or 4, but he seems to really like John B. And i thought he showed the rest of them honestly, i got the impression he kind of liked them?
It was interesting but at the end, a little disappointing. That's just my impression.

youngblood · 13-04-2017 12:15pm

Very disappointed with the ending, it felt like I missed an episode between 6 and 7?

Same as. I only have Episode 7 remaining but will probably only listen to it for the sake of completing the series rather than actually wanting to hear it.

It was an interesting story in parts but some of it was quite repetitive or just filler. It could really have been cut down to a couple of episodes, possibly even 1 episode!

i have listened to the first four episodes of S-town....and i dont feel the urge to listen to anymore.

The Black Oil · 18-04-2017 9:59pm

Science Vs. GMOs

A vast improvement on their previous episode.

Reflections on Terror: 50 Years Behind the Headlines

BBC World Service doc.

I highly recommend anything and everything Taylor's back catalogue. His work has always impressed me.

I love Casefile, the first one I listened to was Port Arthur and within 2 minutes I was hooked. The narrator is superb, his tone is always spot on and he is so clear the way he speaks. The backround staff deserve huge credit for the way they script each episode. I just listened to the Yorkshire Ripper episodes and it was amazing to listen to, it's a great way to get an insight into how murder investigations/forensics/policing/public opinion etc. has changed or not changed over the years.

Just on the Last episode of S-Town now and have to say I found it fascinating . I know some on here thought it could have been done in a couple of episodes , I personally found it was just about the right length allowing the listener time to become immersed in the deep south culture as John B.'s story unfolded. Looking forward to the last episode on the drive home this evening.

I gave up after episode 3 but I might try go back to it.

I wouldn't bother, its more about John B's character and his story.

The new episode of Unexplained - it was really good as usual!

I feel like i am at the end of the decent True Crime-type podcasts. I listen to Generation Why (its ok), True Crime Garage, The Unresolved Podcast, Casefile, Thinking Sideways (if im stuck), Missing Maura Murray. I have tried most of the other ones and didnt like them for various reasons.

Any new suggestions to try?!

If you listen to the podcast Crime Writers on...they discuss loads of different crime podcasts, so you might get some ideas. They started with Serial season 1 (the host Rebecca Lavoie was sound producer on Serial) and have expanded.

FouxDaFaFa · 23-04-2017 2:30pm

Over the last few days I've started listening to Rabbits and King Falls Am.

Rabbits is a kind of suspense podcast, a narrator detailing her search for her missing friend, Yumiko. Yumiko disappears while playing an online game, kind of like Cicada 3301 if anyone remembers it. Or the film, Nerve.

I like Rabbits well enough but find it a little stilted at times and very ad-heavy. But it's the kind of thing I'll stick it out with just to see what happens.

King Falls Am is a fictional radio show with a new host who has just moved into town. It's the perfect mix of Art Bell's Coast to Coast AM, Chris' show in Northern Exposure and Welcome to Nightvale. I wasn't sure if I'd stick with it until about episode 6 but since then I've been really enjoying it. The fake ads are hilarious.

Pidae.m · 23-04-2017 8:39pm

Thanks to the poster who pointed me to casefile. Absolute pertinent listening the last 3 days!! To be honest I prefer the longer episodes but did skip a few when children were involved. I've two small girls and just couldn't listen to it. Harrowing stuff.

Holly and Jessica one really got to me as I'd a daughter and niece the same ages as them at the time.

Arbie · 23-04-2017 11:44pm

Yes, thanks for recommending casefile, I've listened to loads over the past few days. Fascinating stuff and the narrator is great - mysterious!

pc7 · 24-04-2017 8:00am

This weeks casefile gave me chills, really well done.

It was superb, the phone call at the intro had my heart racing. The use of interview audio worked brilliantly alongside the narration. The way the story revelaed itself felt like something out of a TV crime drama

Today I listened to...
