Casefile

Tina Watson, I still see the image of her and how he describes her. Not a clear cut answer to the end but one of their best.

Silk Road was excellent.

Just finished the latest episode. 78:The Janabi Family.

Fantastic episode. Really interesting and insightful into what happens in war.

Was it said who was the commanding officer at the road block?

The Mia Zapata one was good. Hadn't heard that name in a very long time and actually made me check out some of her music. Pretty decent!

Amok is also a great one.

According to the casefile narrtion Cortez was in charge of the checkpoint, but he was't an officer.

For sure. At least justice was done in the end. Another member of the 27 club.

Some of these cases would make you despair for humanity. The Daniel morecambe one always stuck with me.

There's a few very grim ones. Sword & Scale is even darker than Casefile!

Found the Janabi family one particularly sickening I must say - there have been worse episodes in terms of content but this really made my stomach turn.

Dots1982

Spoilers here on janabi so don’t read on if you haven’t listened..

Nothing will cause my blood to run colder than the Moors murders. The premeditation is what is chilling and there is also the pleasure taken in the execution of the crimes and the media spotlight

The Janabi murders were so pointless and just done on a whim. So sick that they almost got away with it and the whistleblower has had abuse from “patriots”

Some just show how random things can be, like Daniel Morcombe, was the bus late or broken down? Can’t remember exactly but his fathers words at the end had me bawling. I tend to try avoid the kiddie ones can’t listen/watch stuff like that since having the smallies.
Losing a child especially in such circumstances really is a fate worse than death.

I’ll never for as long as I love forget his father’s words at the end. Absolutely heartbreaking.

Sword and Scale is pretty grim alright. But love Casefile narrator. He's brilliant and he's so respectful during the particularly sensitive ones.

I think the bus was late and didn’t stop for him as there was a second one coming not long behind, by time the second bus came he was gone. ... I think the bus was trying to make up time by not stopping.

That one was dreadful alright. Poor kid.

Casefile is definitely the best true crime podcast I've found. The narrator is fantastic. Would love to know who he is

One more true crime podcast that I've recently discovered that I'd also recommend to people is Small Town Dicks.

Two presenters - one of whom is Yeardly Smith, AKA Lisa Simpson - talk to two real life detectives about their most memorable cases. The detectives are supposedly brothers, but it's hard to know for sure because they're using assumed names and names have also been changed in the cases being discussed, in order to protect victims etc, etc.

Anyway it's pretty interesting listening to my ears and it's cool to hear about the real world experience of the people doing the actual investigating; sometimes this aspect of the nitty-gritty gets overlooked in similarish pods, even though, for me, it's the most fascinating aspect of most true crime tales.

The show manages to pull off that neat Casefile like trick of being respectful towards the victims of crime and avoids falling down the hole of becoming mawkish sensationalist rubbish like Sword and Scale - which truly sickens my hole. Though some of it is extremely hard to listen to: I listened to one of the detective's detailed account of being present at the autopsy on the body of a somewhat over-ripe and hefty lady and it was honestly the most ghastly sounding thing I'd ever heard.

I find 'My Favourite Murder' & 'True Crime Garage' quite hard to listen for their lack of brevity also - laughing and joking while discussing murder is a bit off I think.

I like TCG. They do have the banter but are generally respectful, IMO.

I enjoy Thinking Sideways but the 3 presenters def take the piss a little too much, which can be unsettling.

Hmmm. New account. Posts in the podcast thread....

...name from the Casefile episodes on Silk Road?

siblers

The recent podcast about the murders in Iraq was brilliant. It was a very messed up scenario. The book that inspired the podcast "Black Hearts" is superb for any of ye interested, gives more insight into how messed up the whole situation was

Pidae.m

Anyone remember the audio book for Silk Road he mentioned. Cheers

American Kingpin: The Epic Hunt For The Criminal Mastermind Behind The Silk Road

There's another book called Silk Road that was referenced

Serious twists and turns in the latest one. Christ almighty. Who needs enemies when you have a family like that.
