Michael's thoughts: Case Remains is an absolute must for those of you who (like myself) are always looking for a true-crime /missing persons podcast which treats its subjects with the sensitivity, respect and humanity they deserve, and that's what Beth delivers with Case Remains. Each episode is well written and well-researched, but what Beth expertly does is to introduce each victim to us as a real human being; a three-dimensional person with hopes, dreams, flaws and failures so that we understand the details of their life before we learn about their death or the mystery of their disappearance - a skill that many true-crime podcasts fail to. If you love hearing new cases for the very first time, I strongly recommend you check out Case Remains.

Q & A with Beth from Case Remains
  • How did you get into true-crime podcasting? When I graduated back in 2014 I decided to start a blog so I would have somewhere to keep up my writing while I worked at a customer service job that I really didn’t want to be doing. Having started and discarded many before, I thought it would be best to start one about a topic I was really passionate about, so I started one about true crime. I’ve been writing about true crime ever since, first on Tumblr, then on my own website. I’d thought about starting a podcast for a while and finally in 2018 I thought why not just go for it? And so the Case Remains podcast was born!
  • What podcast (true-crime or not) first inspired you? Like many people, it’s got to be Serial. I’m not sure I had ever even really heard about podcasts before when a friend from work recommended I listen to it. I got home and ended up bingeing the entire thing in one weekend, I was absolutely hooked. It really opened my eyes to a new way of storytelling and was just so well done. 
  • What was your first episode and why was it an important story to tell? My first episode was about the disappearance of Claudia Lawrence in 2009. I’m not really sure why, but the case had stuck with me ever since it happened - perhaps because there is so little evidence. A lot of the reporting at the time of her disappearance was completely unfair and delved into victim-blaming territory, so I felt that it was important to tell her story in a non-judgemental way.
  • What have you learned about yourself whilst making your podcast? I’ve learned that my voice isn’t quite as awful as I thought it was! My voice was one of the main things holding me back from making a podcast, and I’ve been blown away by the number of comments I get from people saying how calming they find it. It just goes to show that you shouldn’t let your doubts stop you from doing things you really want to do.
  • Have you ever been contacted by the victim/killer’s family and why? I have been contacted a couple of times by friends and family members of some of the people I have covered. I always get nervous when I see them in my inbox because the last thing I would want to do would be to upset someone whose loved one is missing or has been murdered. Luckily they have all been very supportive so far, mostly emailing to say thank you for covering the case. It’s a good reminder that every person that is discussed on a podcast is exactly that - a real person with family and friends who love and miss them. I think it’s important to always bear that in mind.
  • Which case do you feel is over-exposed / under-exposed and why? Unfortunately there are thousands of cases out there that don’t get the attention they deserve or even make it to mainstream media. I try my best to cover cases that aren’t as well known, but of course the problem you get with that is there often isn’t that much information to work with.
  • Do you have a message for your loyal listeners? I could say thank you a million times and it wouldn’t be enough! Without the people who tune in every episode I’m honestly not sure I would still be making the show.
