What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

My compliments, sir, at your level of detail and the inclusion of information and perspective I’ve not heard even though I’ve extensively followed this case on multiple media.

Larry Terry · Oct 2026

The most thorough, detailed and respectful podcast ever. It's all I listen to and the facts and care for the victims is the best in the crime podcast realm. Consistently fantastic story telling, neutral standpoints and incredibly compassionate to the families and victims.

Quinnyyb · Sep 2026

Thanks for handling the victims with such respect and care. I was not going to listen to the gilgo beach episode, because I’m so tired of how the victims have been portrayed. Thanks for not doing that.

Stephani95 · Sep 2026

Casefile is amazing, in content, narration, research and sensitive in presentation. It is always a phenomenal listen.

Criminal45_psychologist · Sep 2026

Over the past couple of seasons, this podcast has shifted to covering a lot of cases focusing on children victims. It’s uncomfortable listening to the narrator so flatly and robotically discuss details of crimes committed against children like murder, sexual assault and parental neglect. I’ve also noticed that the cases covered don’t seem to be as well researched or written as they used to be. Casefile is yet another example of a once great podcast that’s become overly profit driven and less focused on creating thoughtful and high-quality content.

jipjopflop · Mar 2024

Great podcast but they take A LOT of breaks and will not put out any episodes for 2 or months months around the end of the year. They also run a lot of reruns of Patreon episodes on the main feed. They could prerecord episodes and put them out while on break like other podcasts do. Seems like creators aren’t that involved in the podcast anymore. I stopped following because of unreliability.
