You probably do, you just dont know that you do yet !

Now the dilema, let the 5 episodes all happen and save for a weekend binge, or do them weekly

You'll only be rushing through them to get to the end and miss out absorbing them

SteelyDanJalapeno · 12-03-2019 10:01am

Plus that would be like 2 months of no Casefile

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!

Agree that this was a really good set but my favourite was the Jonestown Killings. A three parter with a harrowing last episode. Actually listening to Jim Jones speaking as hundreds of people died around him was heavy listening.

This struggle is real. It's going to be an endurance test to wait for all five episodes to air. But the binge will be worth it. Especially if is Milat.

I think every casefile that was more than one part was excellent.

I think golden state killer could have been done in 4 not 5.

I didn't get into that Jonestown one - must revisit maybe.

something worked for me on the EAR / GSK thing - was sort of metronomic, meditative and almost hypnotic the way that each and every crime was narrated.

runningbuddy · 15-03-2019 11:04am

Can't see how they can stretch this one out over 5 episodes

Jonestown one was brilliant.

I always find if I'm distracted at all in the first 5 minutes I don't enjoy it. A few it happened to me and I made it about 30 minutes in not enjoying it so I restarted it and enjoyed the whole episode.

The recent trend of later releases are annoying, breaking my routine of listening on Saturday mornings.

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.

A slight aside, but I found this podcast recently

Inside the Black Box

Seems to be quite new, but finding it interesting so far.

Brilliant thanks!! My second favourite subject - after true crime - is aviation accidents.

I need to get out more

The current series by the American scandal podcast about the Hare Krishna murders is quite interesting I think if someone is at a loss during the casefile break.

CiaranW · 20-03-2019 9:45am

A bit late now, but the other night BBC 4 had a really good 90min show on The Silk Road.

Ah damn. Any idea if its going to be replayed? or what it was called might be able to catch it online

21-03-2019 1:46pm

have also been listening to "To live and die in LA" but I would not really recommend it.

The levels of intrusion that the podcast went to are beyond the pale imo. (in the later episodes 5 and 6).

Maybe just listen to it to see what should not be done - possibly in fact worth it for that.

Aside from that I don't think that it's that great and the narrator Neil Strauss does not have a good voice at all. He sounds a bit like a teenage girl at times - particularly when full of intrusive glee.

Circuital · 21-03-2019 2:01pm

^ Yeah I've been listening to that. Aside from the bizarre nature of the 'investigation', the story could've been told in two 40 minute episodes.

true - totally dragged out to stick in the questionable "interviews".

Pidae.m · 22-03-2019 8:04pm

Listened to the first part. 62 min long. Run of the mill back story stuff, gets ramped up for the last ten minutes.

I’ve been listening to “Phoebe’s Fall”, an Australian investigative podcast about a girl who died tragically in her apartment. It doesn’t really go anywhere because it’s quite limited with what it has to work with but a good listen all the same.

Yeah that one was alright. Definitely a weird and interesting case but as you said, didn't really have anywhere to go.

CiaranW · 25-03-2019 9:36am

Keep losing my concentration on the latest episode. I've restarted it twice now and it is not sticking!

optogirl · 26-03-2019 9:41am

I see Sword & Scale has been dumped by Wondery. The host is fairly insufferable in fairness.

Circuital · 26-03-2019 9:48am

Someone mentioned The Minds of Madness. Started listening the other day. It's very good.

I started with a case I was familiar with - Carey Stayner. There's an interview with the FBI agent who got a confession out of him. It's a brilliant two-parter.

I did however find it a bit more graphic than other podcasts.

The Derek Bird one from the UK a number of years back is excellent. A lot of their cases are Canadian or US centered so it's always good to get a somewhat local one

I was listening to this, well researched and interesting BUT why does he pronounce ALTITUDE as ATTITUDE??!! Everytime he says it now I become more aware of it!

retro:electro · 26-03-2019 11:03am

I don’t know. I’m finding it hard to stay interested in Casefile lately. I wonder is it since his Q&A s I got the impression that he seemed quite indifferent and uninterested in true crime that I just can’t listen in the same way.

26-03-2019 11:07am

lots of hosTELLing pronunciation there in the first part of the one there on Ivan Milat.

26-03-2019 11:36am

and in my experience most Australians do pronounce it like that!

we may think it's weird but if you consider how "hotel" is pronounced maybe it makes sense.

although I will never do it.

pc7 · 26-03-2019 8:23pm

I really enjoyed this week, kept me interest more so than previous weeks lately. Looking forward to next installment

Lady Spangles · 26-03-2019 9:53pm

I was going to wait until all five parts were up and have a good old binge. But I couldn't help myself. I've seen a few docs about the case anyway, so waiting seemed pointless. Anyway, it was great and I'm really looking forward to the next four installments.

Im finding this aswell, casefile used to be one of my favourite podcasts going but lately i find a lot of the episodes are a bit meh.

On the other hand, i discovered another podcast (probably on this forum) called "swindled" that i would highly reccomend. Its very very good

Suckler · 28-03-2019 5:49am

One good one I stumbled upon recently - 'You must Remember this' Podcast by Slate. Currently working through a 12 part-er about Charles Manson (Charles Mansons Hollywood) Really interesting so far. Goes through the origins of "the family" and the links to Hollywood famous faces etc. and how the interactions with them led to the murders.

I love YMRT.

If anyone wants to just listen to the Manson episodes they have been released as a separate podcast called You Must Remember Manson. Saves you having to scroll through the extensive back catalogue on the main feed

Didn't even notice to be honest. Already finished all the episodes but have found that Youtube has a plentiful supply of Air Crash Investigations/Mayday. The reconstructions are hammed up a bit, but the bones of the episodes are still interesting. Watched the episode on JAL 123 yesterday. Poor souls were crashing for 30 minutes.

A planes attitude is its position relative to the horizon and an obviously important flight control parameter, you sure about what he's saying?

PropJoe10 · 29-03-2019 2:27pm

First two parts of Belanglo have been great.

PropJoe10 · 02-04-2019 10:10pm

Part 3 is also great. Any other Patreon supporters of Casefile here? Nice to get the early release episodes!

Only listened to two. I enjoy how Casefile gives a back story to the victims...God love them....horrific

I've a long list of podcasts that I used to love and are now unsubscribed from. It happens, if you find you aren't enjoying it just unsubscribe, there's thousands of good pods out there. I'm actually worried I might find other ones I like, I'm subscribed to too many now and need to find time to listen.
I don't think I'll ever unsubscribe from hardcore history, irish history podcast or second captains, anything else I could drop. Radiolab is next on the chopping block from me I reckon

Ann22 · 06-04-2019 3:13am

I so look forward to new episodes. I actually just listened to the same story as "Case 104 Mark and John" on another crime podcast. It wasn't nearly as good as Casefile as the perpetrator was revealed at the start of the episode.

Not to go too off topic but I noticed that you mentioned Radiolab. For a while - a good few years ago - I used to think it was the best podcast around, but then I thought the quality dropped off - repeat episodes, shorter episodes, too many episodes dependent on outside presenters - and so I dropped off. So it's still beset with some of the same problems?
