Summary

With Casefile on a short break, we thought this would be a great time to shine a light on some of the shows that may have flown under the radar for many of you. These are shows we've put our hearts into and are really proud of. Today, we’re sharing another one of those shows - Matty.

Matty was originally released in 2022 as a Spotify exclusive, meaning you could only listen to it on that specific platform. But now, for the first time, the entire Matty series is available everywhere, wherever you get your podcasts.

Matty was the second podcast series we made in collaboration with Loren O’Keeffe from The Missed Foundation. Matty tells the story of Matthew Leveson, a 20-year-old who went missing in Sydney in 2007. His disappearance led to a decade-long fight by his parents, Mark and Faye Leveson, to bring their son home.

The Levesons search uncovered many twists, countless hurdles, and years of stonewalling, along with moments of both good and bad investigative work. It’s a story filled with heartbreak, perseverance, and the relentless pursuit of the truth.

It’s a Casefile Presents production—created by the same team behind Casefile, with the same high standards you expect from us. I hope you enjoy the series.

0:00.0	Hi, it's Casey here. As you know, CaseFile will be back in 2026 for our 10th year with all new episodes.
0:11.0	Earlier this year, you might have noticed that we released the first episodes of some of the Case File Presents shows we've produced in the CaseFile feed.
0:20.0	The decision to do so came after I learned something surprising while talking with people
0:25.1	at our live events.
0:27.1	Many CaseFile listeners had no idea that we produce other shows outside of CaseFile, and
0:33.0	some had never even heard of CaseFile Presents.
0:37.0	It dawned on me that if someone is a big enough
0:39.5	supporter of our show to come to a live event but hasn't heard of our production company,
0:45.0	then clearly we need to do a better job of highlighting the other stories we've put so much
0:49.6	care and work into. For those who don't know, CaseFile Presents is our broader production platform.
0:57.0	While CaseFile is our flagship show, we've also created a number of other podcasts under
1:02.4	the CaseFile Presents banner.
1:04.9	Our level of involvement differs from project to project, but we've played a direct role in all of them.
1:11.9	Today, we're sharing another one of those shows, Matty.
1:16.6	Matty was originally released in 2022 as a Spotify exclusive, meaning you could only listen to it on that specific platform.
1:25.7	But now, for the first time, the entire Maddie series is available everywhere, wherever
1:31.4	you get your podcasts.
1:34.2	Maddie was the second podcast series we made in collaboration with Lauren O'Keefe from
1:39.8	The Mist Foundation, previously known as the Miss person's advocacy network or M-PAN.
1:47.3	Lauren works tirelessly to support families of missing loved ones, and this series is a powerful
1:52.9	example of what drives her work. Matty tells the story of Matthew Leveson, a 20-year-old who went
2:00.0	missing in Sydney in 2007.
