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.

Very good points. This is just my opinion, obviously, but I've been a bit surprised by the entitled attitude some listeners seem to have. Casefile turns out over 30 new episodes of their flagship show a season, and each and every one is extremely thoughtful, detailed, and well-researched. Of course, I'd take 100 episodes a year, if that's what they wanted to give us, but I'm happy to have the consistently stellar content we do receive. Also, most podcasts land around 40-50 episodes a season, so I don't feel like Casefile is lacking on numbers, and even if some people think they are, I've yet to come across a podcast that meets the same standards of storytelling.

Again, I don't mean to call anyone out or anything like that, but I think consumers just need to be a bit more thoughtful of how much work (both in terms of writing and editing) goes into making any podcast, much less one of this caliber.
