List of Casefile True Crime Podcast episodes
This is a list of Casefile episodes. Casefile is a weekly (sometimes fortnightly) Australian crime podcast that first aired in January 2016[1] and hosted by an Australian man who wishes to remain anonymous.[2][3] The series deals with solved or cold criminal cases, often related to well-known murders and serial crimes.[4] The release dates listed below are based on the official website.[5]
Note that not all episodes are currently available, however, as cases 13, 19, and 30 were initially published but later removed with the intention of updating and rewriting them.[6][7][8] Case 55 (Simone Strobel, released 15 July 2017), was removed due to legal issues, although general details of the podcast itself are still publicly available. This list also includes the series' companion podcast, From the Files, aired since July 2019 but placed on hiatus in 2020.
