One of the most respectful True Crime podcasts I’ve listened to next to Dateline. I’ve had to turn off quite a few in disgust from how they treat the topic matter, and I can see the audience of those types of podcasts reflected in some of the low star reviews on this podcast (you’re mad because missing person cases are ‘boring’? Seriously, dude? Develop some human empathy.)

I enjoy listening to true crime podcasts that have humor or commentary, but this one is enjoyable for its simplicity in story telling…as well as the soothing sound of his voice.

Narration is horrible sounds like a monotone Australian robot.

I’ve been listening to this podcast since it started, I love the way the stories are told and how well researched they are. 👏

I’ve been around from the beginning but am lately feeling lukewarm about the choices of topic. I skip all the Q and A and most of the spin offs. Not much interested in cases about people “missing” (they’re dead) for decades. Update: These breaks are just too long to pay for. The last content was only boring Q and A. No none of my other podcasts take such lengthy breaks. Hey, it’s Feb 14! When do you get back to work?? You are skating on your reputation and it’s wearing thin. Finally back—unfortunately with a two parter that should have been one. What a slog to get through—and waited a week for too.

So refreshing to hear a male voice doing the narration. Too many true crime podcasts are are narrated by females, and frankly, difficult to listen to and take seriously.

So disappointed… after waiting 2 months for the new season I had to immediately turn it off. After years of not falling into the annoying “suspenseful” music that so many podcast do, CF has made the horrible decision to have LOUD music playing in the background. It’s distracting and takes away so much from the actual information. Will probably be discontinuing my subscription after years because of this. It’s genuinely obnoxious and unnecessary to have constant music in the background at the same volume as the host. RIP to my favorite podcast.

So glad you are back

I pay for a subscription, but there haven’t been new episodes in months. I reached out to Apple, but I also wanted to post here. I don’t think it’s fair to have to pay for a subscription when there’s no new content. If the creators of CaseFile could please reach out to me about a refund for the dormant months and an update for when new episodes will be coming out, I would appreciate it. if this can be resolved, I will update my review.

I love this podcast. But as others stated, I paid both December and January and no new content has been uploaded. I keep up with all current episodes so I unsubscribed as a premium subscriber. Disappointed!

I wonder how Case File intends to compensate premium subscriber users for the two months, and counting, of no episodes. This is a great podcast, but the constant hiatus is ridiculous. Plan ahead and record some episodes for your subscribers to listen to while you are away. It’s a bad reflection of your professionalism and shows a lack of value / appreciation for your subscribers. I’ve already been charged for February and here we are a third of the way through the month. I also no longer see the brief podcast that states you will be back in February? Not sure what that means.

I found case files a few years ago and couldn’t stop listening! Awesome content, research and presentation. However, I’m paying for the premium membership and we’ve had no new content since November of 24’. It’s a bit ridiculous to expect fans to pay money for nothing. Especially during this economy. Casefile, please do better or provide regular updates for your customers.

Do episodes on Nashville Tennessee’s most infamous cases: Missing: Tabitha Tuders. Murdered: Janet March and Marcia Trimble. They’re better than all your other episodes. You’re welcome.

Like others, I feel the long breaks are wild for premium subscribers without having anything prepared to release for months at a time. Breaks are needed, but this seems really excessive for people paying and getting nothing for weeks and weeks.

It’s a weekly podcast that does not distribute new content for at least a quarter of the year. And that’s for premium subscribers! Quality of the storytelling and content has gone downhill as well. Too bad!

I love this podcast, SO MUCH!! But where is my content? Would you recommend I stop paying for my subscription? It’s not fair to those of us who pay you every month and receive nothing in return.

This is my favorite podcast ever, I’ve listened to every episode twice. However, I’m paying for a premium subscription and it’s been nearly 2 months since they’ve put anything out. I’m unsubscribing because it feels wasteful to pay for something and not even get older re-released podcasts.

Highly recommend, but I do miss the content. It’s almost February 2025, and patiently waiting on a new episode. Truly miss your podcasts…

Each episode is well-produced and engaging, with great storytelling that keeps you hooked. Casefile host has a unique way of adding depth to the stories, making it feel personal.

when are you coming back from break?????? sheeeesh

I’ve been listening to case file for years i think there’s not one I haven’t listened too I’m used to the yearly holiday break but it’s so long to be paying for a subscription and not have one new episode all month :( still patiently waiting though.

I really enjoy listening to this podcast but there are too many long breaks so I have cancelled my premium subscription.

Lazy

I’ve been listening to this podcast for a long time, but lately there are just too many commercials for me to continue. I know creators need to make money, but this has gone overboard. See ya!

my fav podcast. even though i’m a premium subscriber they still take such long breaks 😪

This is my absolute favorite true crime podcast. I wish they didn’t take such long breaks.

I’ve been listening since day 1 and this is my #1 crime podcast. I love the work that Casey & the team do to put as much detail as possible into these episodes. There’s no chatter about his own opinions. There’s no fluff added in to prolong the episodes. It’s LITERALLY what the name implies: like he’s reading facts straight from a casefile. The detail put into maintaining the timeline and really painting a picture for listeners is amazing as well. As for the “month long gaps” people are whining about… it isn’t easy to put together this much information about a case. Let alone the 100+ cases they cover in a year. It takes time and so much reaching out to others, and then more time waiting on answers from sources, etc… so I’m always more than happy to wait the gaps. I’m literally counting down the days for whenever y’all start posting again in Feb. ❤️ luckily Casefile Presents has other great podcasts they do as well. A few of which I definitely binge on repeat during the Casefile breaks because they’re just so good! Thank you guys for the awesome work you do!

I LOVE this podcast and have been a day one listener, however recently there has been such a gap between episodes. Therefore I have had to find other true crime podcasts to fill the void. Please don’t fill the month gaps with filler commercials and such

Always happy to come back and listen to this podcast. I appreciate that this is raw data without any opinions given. Too many podcasts insert their own takes and sometimes I need a break from that. The content is extremely heavy and dark and often gruesome, which means I do end up taking breaks to avoid getting depressed, but frankly if you listen to true crime to cheer yourself up you need to check yourself out anyway lol Also! Despite all the comments from new people who think the host is AI, I still love the tonality of the host’s voice and as any long time listener knows, his voice has been this way since the beginning! Been listening since this show began and I don’t plan to stop.

almost every episode is behind your new paywall. you realize you need to keep *some* shows accessible so that people will join, right? get your bag but this feels excessive.

Good but gone now?

To all those who are reading reviews in order to help them decide whether or not to follow a podcast — ask yourself if the review actually helps you form a REASONED opinion based on facts; Or DOES the review simply spout a hateful personal diatribe in the guise of supposed rea-soned critiques

But… However; (still-) ..nonetheless. -yet even so, regardless; *all the same; and sometimes: -Albeit. Notwithstanding, But.nevertheless, and yet.. although…. BUT.

I’ve listened before but the more recent episodes lack personality. Bordering deadpan delivery, and monotonous. As others have mentioned, it sounds like an Aussie AI bot reading a script. No thanks. If you can’t use a real host I’m not going to listen. What a racket, run ads and have a computer read the script. Why pay an actual person when you can make more money without? Tedious.

I’ve been listening since 2018! The anonymous host’s voice is hauntingly soothing, thanks for being one of my favorite podcasts!

Horrifying story I never knew about! No murders, blood & guts, however, absolute human cruelty at the highest level. This poor couple, only practicing their First Amendment rights of Freedom of Speech. So glad they’re pursuing in criminal court what they couldn’t achieve in federal court. Another riveting Casefile episode. Totally worth the subscription. 👍

Curious why it sounds like it’s being narrated by AI? The cadence and tone is not normal…no one talks like that…Would love to actually listen if it sounded like an actual person was speaking.

But I’d guess after years of finding material they are stretching to find fascinating cases. Some recent episodes remind me more of Dateline. The husband did it. The boyfriend did it. You know the answer from the beginning I miss the earlier episodes but what can you do. There are only so many east area rapist or Jonestown massacres to recount, luckily

I was hooked when Stitcher delivered Case 55 into my feed and have been listening ever since. Love the dry delivery and the well-researched information.

Casey and the team do a wonderful job covering these stories. No opinions, only facts in chronological order. Edge of your seat listening- will always subscribe to Casefile.

Tells great true crime stories without much time wasting. (Occasionally will go a bit overboard describing scenery or history of towns and cities; also very annoying shopify ads.) This is my favorite True Crime podcast!

I’ve recently started listening to this podcast and I’m very happy with it so far. I’ve gone through a few other podcasts and decided to give this one a try after seeing a lot of good reviews on Reddit. I love how the host gets right to the point, there’s no small talk or side conversations. He’s very respectful of the victims and family members in each case. I like how he explains everything in detail but also adds in clips from the news or court proceedings. This is an Australian podcast but he makes it a point to explain things that most Americans don’t understand, i.e., converting kms to miles, meters to feet, different wording that they use in court, etc. I’m only about 30 episodes in but I’m really enjoying this podcast so far.

Now someone please tell Casey how to pronounce the name “Jose” lol

This podcast is really dark. Most stories are about rape and murder of children. Who enjoys listening to this sick stuff?

Why the robot voice

My preferred true crime pod. The research, presentation all superior without sarcasm and salacious waller.

I’ve been a subscriber of this podcast for years. Top notch! I slow the playback speed to 75% and Casey’s voice is what i fall asleep to nearly every night. This podcast is facts, no opinions. Absolutely phenomenal.

i love this podcast the narrators voice is soothing to me so i use it as a bedtime story. i fall asleep fast which is amiracle for me. so i bought the subscription. turns out i really didnot like the question and answer bit it jolts me awake so i had to cancel and im sad.

Long time listener. Love the host though I do think you have to get used to it at first. Great storytelling. Unbiased and told respectfully. I look forward to it every week!
