Casefile

Casefile is an Australian crime podcast that first aired in January 2016 and is hosted by an Australian man who remains anonymous. The podcast, produced by Casefile True Crime Podcast, is usually released on a Saturday for three consecutive weeks, with a bonus episode on the fourth week. The series deals with solved or cold criminal cases, often related to well-known murders and serial crimes. Unlike a number of similar podcasts, the series is fully scripted and narrated, while relying primarily on original police or mass-media documents, eyewitness accounts, and interview or public announcement recordings. Many early episodes relate to Australian cases (e.g., Port Arthur or the Snowtown murders), although notable crimes from the UK and the US were increasingly featured, and well-known cases from other countries have also been included. Larger and more-complex cases have received multiple-week serialised broadcasts, and case updates to previously aired cases are also provided from time to time. The series has been well received, and has won a number of awards since its debut.

Warnings are regularly given at the start of podcasts due to the graphic content. It is available via numerous sites. Since 2018, a companion YouTube channel also offers the show's episodes. Early in the show's history, updates to cases were also occasionally aired as breakthroughs or other significant events occurred. However, as the podcast evolved, these began to be placed behind a voluntary subscription paywall. In July 2019, it was announced that these updates would now be spun out into an informal companion series, From the Files, to be aired monthly in the show's off week. To replace it, a new patron only show called Behind the Files debuted the same month. It was announced in December 2019, however, that From the Files would be put on hiatus for 2020. In September 2023, it was announced that a new companion podcast "loosely based" on From the Files would be starting, hosted by Raquel O'Brien. Casefile Presents also produces and releases a number of crime podcasts besides Casefile including: The Vanishing of Vivienne Cameron (2020) – covered in episode 80; Searching For Sarah MacDiarmid (2021); The Detective’s Dilemma (2022); Matty (2022); The Frankston Murders (2023)- covered in episode 23; and, Dragonfly (2023). Since 2020, a Portuguese version of the show, known as Casefile True Crime – Edição Oficial em Português, is also produced. In February 2025, a Polish version, Casefile Polska, was also launched. In August 2022, an official card-based boardgame (similar in play to Cluedo) was released by Goliath Games, a Dutch game manufacturer. Titled Casefile: Truth & Deception Board Game players, acting as private detectives, try to solve the murder mystery of a businessman. ==See also== Criminal (podcast) List of Australian podcasts YouTube channel The Creator of Casefile Interview From the Files website
