Just a whole bag of beans

I think this show is a whole bag of beans and more, even though a lot of the content is a little more than morbid at times the way the episodes are structured and hosted make things a lot more enjoyable. You can tell a lot of work goes into researching and writing these episodes so to everyone behind the scenes thank you for all your hard work and for the host thank you for giving them a voice to display their hard work. Just a big thanks to the casefile team I guess keep it up guys you’re doing great!!
Best crime story teller on a slow decline

I used to listen for every episode the moment they came out, but over years it became more and more disappointing, unsolved murders, no suspects, and it seems the episodes I enjoyed are now premium. It would be great to mention if it’s a SOLVED or UNSOLVED crime as I’d prefer to not listen to unsolved. Other than that, I love your podcast.
