I'm about 4 episodes behind I couldn't get in to the Caffey family episode and stopped about 15 minutes in.

Yeah I just gave up cause I was zoning out.

Must be getting a small bit tedious for the crewe of the Podcast, must get to a point where it becomes quite mundane for them

Plenty of Irish cases out there that would be something different for them i.e. the Tipperary love triangle, the leinster missing persons rriangle, west cork, Joe O Reilly among many others.

Kingp35 · 05-05-2021 4:00pm

I think they might need to give in and do some of the bigger/more well known cases. I just think they've run out of unusual and interesting cases.

Another possibility is to pick non-murder cases, I'm sure there are plenty of unique cases out there.

They have a "Suggest a case" button and I suggested The Scissor Sisters case.

DukeCaboom · 05-05-2021 8:37pm

There's an excellent 2 hr case coming up this weekend. An old fashioned episode I suppose you'd call it

Mens Rea has covered all of those. Not the same as Casefile, but the focus on Irish crime is great in my opinion.

Yeah i felt the same initially ....but i suggest you give it another few tries. Her voice /tone has changed from in the beginning....just like the Casefile guys has since he began. His voice bothered me the first few cases and then u dont notice it anymore and grow to love it.

Some podcasts have great quality content but are ruined by bad presenters / voices / tone / speed.

PropJoe10 · 09-05-2021 7:04pm

Canadian True Crime is pretty good, although the host is a little annoying. They Walk Among Us - excellent also.

the big-baller patreons were back for another tease to stir up the plebs who had to wait until Saturday lol.

decent case - a real travesty of justice

not sure what you mean but old-fashioned tho

By old fashioned I was been sarky. Since the new year I've really enjoyed Casefile.

pc7 · 10-05-2021 1:25pm

Husband was a right scumbag, abusing the sisters, suing the other mother for money. Hard know if he did it as how did he get back in time (also why kill himself). If he didn't pull the trigger I do believe he paid someone too. Poor kids

Both are great, and some of the episodes of They Walk Among Us are cases I would have been vaguely familiar with as it's UK based.

I love Casefile though. Hard to beat it.

I think the Somerton man was one of the early Casefile episodes, they're digging him up to try figure out who he was.

My wife mentioned that they're digging up a body in australia to find out what happened. I asked if it was "the Somerton man". She was shocked I knew. Back from a time I knew every casefile episode and details on each.

BettePorter · 29-05-2021 1:17pm

I think Casefile has finally jumped the shark.

Today's case was the most pointless yet. It was only getting started and suddenly it was over and with no real ending.

I had a bike stolen from outside my house in 1993. Never got it back... Casefile are covering it next week.

pc7 · 29-05-2021 4:38pm

I came in to post the same, what a pile of sh1te, I thought the podcast hadn’t downloaded. Absolutely brutal

Said it a few times over the last year. It's gone from my go to podcast to a pile of shìte.

PropJoe10 · 01-06-2021 1:01am

I've really enjoyed Casefile's output this year. Each to their own, I suppose. Lots of other things out there to listen to, lads!

pc7 · 01-06-2021 6:52am

Aw prop you couldn’t have enjoyed Saturdays it was like a ‘scary’ story my smallie would tell. It’s a thread to discuss Casefile warts and all.

I've known about 'The Watcher' for a while. It's an interesting story. The Casefile episode did not do it justice at all. Really poor episode.

Here is an excellent article on the case:

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 29-06-2021 10:54pm

Casefile has really gone off the boil recently but I have to say I really enjoyed the latest episode "vampire of Nuremberg"... Still strayed from it's "who done it format" from earlier episodes but still very enjoyable.

Anyway. I'm looking for another true crime series. Has anyone any recommendations for something similar to casefile or true crime island? Absolutely not anything with a man/woman team as ive tried them all and they're all awful. One narrator, something I can get lost in, even if it's a standalone series.

'They walk among us'. One narrator.
Next best thing to casefile, in my opinion.

pc7 · 30-06-2021 10:22am

I'm really enjoying Algorithm but the hosts voice is so bad I actually don't know if I can stick with it but its so interesting

Men's Rea, an Irish True Crime podcast is excellent if you've not listened to it

30-06-2021 10:12pm

Got an email from Patreon saying that Casefile will be taking a break due to a medical issue relating to the host....probably for a few weeks.

the "Serial Killers" podcast (from Parcast with Greg Polcyn and Vanessa Richardson) is very possibly the worst of that type that I've tried

"Please note, Vanessa's NOT a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist; but she has done a lot of research for this show. "

-"Thanks Greg!"

... but nevertheless she will shyte on for ages in a tirade of absolute complete verbal diarrhea wildly postulating what some serial killer was thinking at an exact point in time.

complete rubbish

Murdoc90 · 01-07-2021 10:41am

The Serial Killer podcast, The host is Norwegian and a bit eccentric but the episodes are excellent.

pc7 · 03-07-2021 4:57pm

Taken a few days off true crime and have been listening to Blackout and The Phenomenon just for a change, drama sort of stories. Anyone suggest annoy others along those lines?

I’ve tried a few fiction podcasts but found most of them disappointing. The Edge of Sleep was good. Passenger List and Hunted are decent.

carrollsno1 · 02-08-2021 9:57pm

Decent enough this week to be fair, promo for next weeks looks pretty good too.

pc7 · 16-08-2021 2:25pm

Back to good form the last two weeks I felt, he sounds more enthused, maybe the break did him good.

19-09-2021 11:04pm

Don't listen to too many of these anymore but

Case 188 - Robert Wone

What a sickener that those bastards got off scot free

I listened to this podcast today. Those three literally got away with murder :(

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000 · 17-10-2021 12:45am

This episode involves a crime against children.

^ literally every episode of this show for the past 6 months. Jesus lads, c'mon. Every week??

Did you smash it · 23-10-2021 12:11pm

The show released today is as depraved as they come

dastardly00 · 29-10-2021 1:40pm

I don't listen to Casefile a lot anymore, but I did think that the two-part episode of 'The Butcher Baker' (Case 190) was really good

DMcL1971 · 29-10-2021 4:12pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118061913#Comment_118061913

It was certainly one of the hardest to listen to but I also think it was one of the best in long time. (Case 193)

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118090704#Comment_118090704

Ah I’d only really agree with the former statement although I don’t really listen to them that much anymore.

still surprised they don’t cover the Marc detroux case

PropJoe10 · 16-11-2021 3:38pm

Casefile has been excellent lately. The new Casefile Presents series on Sarah MacDiarmid is also excellent.

DukeCaboom · 16-11-2021 7:14pm

Definitely.

Schindlers Pissed · 31-12-2021 3:14pm

Hi lads and ladies, first time to post in this area. I recently found this thread and I’ve read it over a few nights. Casefile was always one of my favourite podcasts but I always went for cases that I have heard of, which wasn’t many! Big mistake. Going on all the recommendations here I’ve recently finished Port Arthur, The Silk Road and Sherri Rasmussen. Fantastic episodes. I used to Google the case before listening, which was another mistake. Now I just listen to see where the case goes. Anyway, that’s all. Thanks for the recommendations and happy new year!

pc7 · 02-01-2022 12:49pm

Do Tina Watson and Daniel Morcombe (kiddie one, but some story), if you haven’t.

Schindlers Pissed · 02-01-2022 7:21pm

Thanks pc7, they are both on my download list. Question, when I try to download Snowtown I only get like a one minute segment….did that happen anyone else? Thanks.

maebee · 02-01-2022 11:38pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118406890#Comment_118406890

Hi Schindlers, what you need to download is "The Snowtown Murders"

Schindlers Pissed · 03-01-2022 3:48pm

Oh, perfect…thank you.
