Acast, the world’s largest independent podcast company, today announced an exclusive partnership with Casefile True Crime, one of the world’s leading true crime podcasts and Australia’s most successful podcasting export. This partnership brings an additional 80 million annual listens to Acast’s global network.

“Casefile is an iconic brand in podcasting and is regularly the first name on people’s lips when they are asked what podcast they listen to – just ask known fans like Steve Martin, Kate McKinnon and Daniel Radcliffe. This new partnership not only brings even more high-quality content to Acast, but also a massive global audience of engaged listeners for brands to connect with,” said Ross Adams, CEO at Acast.

Since its launch in 2016, Casefile has grown into a global phenomenon, with over 800 million listens to date and an inclusion on Spotify’s “Podcasts of the Decade” playlist. Hosted by an anonymous narrator, known as "Casey," the show combines thorough research and respectful storytelling, to analyze criminal cases from both Australia and around the world. It consistently ranks among the top podcasts globally across multiple platforms.

In 2019, Casefile launched Casefile Presents, a platform to grow audiences for existing podcasts and introduce new voices. Last year, Casefile and Acast collaborated to bring The Bakersfield Three podcast to market, which quickly topped Apple’s Top Podcast Chart in the US and garnered over 12 million listens globally.

New episodes of Casefile are released weekly across all major podcasting platforms, YouTube and on the Casefile website.
