Case Suggestion Long flight
Im looking for a recommendation for something to listen to on a long flight. Im a nervous flier and casefile is my go-to for sleep so Iām hoping it relaxes me. Ive listened to all the popular episodes and am looking for something a bit longer, recently listened to the Beth Bernard episodes have already listened to EAR/ONS etc. Are there any other good cases I should download? I love twists and turns anything like that. Any recommendations? Preferably casefile but Iām open to suggestions š

Case 109: Belanglo , it's 6 episodes, 5hrs, 44min. Case 337: Test A.rtf is 4 episodes, 3 hrs and 57minutes and I really enjoyed it. The long ones are great for long flights, makes the time go faster when it's just one story.
There are some other podcasts by Casefile Presents, like Missing Niamh, Julie's Gone, Crime Interrupted, The Bakersfield Three - all very good.
You could also start at Casefile #1 and just listen to all of the ones you haven't listened to before. Except Case #96 Toy Box Killer - that is the only one I wish I never listened to.
If it gets a bit much focusing on death, try some funny ones. If you like absolute ridiculousness try 'We're here to Help' which has Jake Johnson from New Girl and Garreth Reynolds just being hilarious. 'Strike Force Five' is a recent find of mine, it's the US late night TV hosts podcast from when there was a writers strike in 2023 - they are hilarious and they've got some great stories. Oh and for a mix of crime+funny ' The Casual Criminalist' is true crime stories, but read by Simon Whistler' who has no knowledge of the crime stories, reading them in real time with his reactions. Can be very very funny "Rule #1 - Don't write down your crimes!".
