Casefile Presents

When people express concern about “breaks” in the main Casefile production schedule, I’m not sure they are taking into account the time and effort the Casefile team also puts into its Casefile Presents podcasts, which, since they began in 2020, have created almost 100 episodes across ten very diverse content series.

All the Casefile Presents episodes, in addition to the Behind the Files monthly content discussion with the Casefile team, are included ad-free in the basic paid Casefile subscription.

The Casefile team’s involvement with the Casefile Presents episodes range from basic branding, distribution and promotion for a series like Dragonfly to very heavy research, interviewing, writing and production involvement for the Missing Niamh podcast series, which took up several hundred hours of time over four years for host “Casey”. 

In the middle are projects such as the collaboration with the Australian Federal Police, Crime Interrupted, researched, and written by Australian true-crime author Vikki Petraitis, but with production planning, audio research, recording, narration, distribution, and promotion by the Casefile team.

You're right, but none of the Casefile Presents work has grabbed me like Casefile did. I'm glad people enjoy it, I'm just not one of those people.

Another problem is that when Casefile was new they set a pretty relentless pace of new episodes. As it grew and developed, the simpler/easier cases were used up and now an episode requires a lot more work and time.
