74 Seconds tells the story of a July 2016 traffic stop that ended with the world watching a man die, live on their phones. This is the story of that man, Philando Castile, and the officer who is about to go on trial for his death, Jeronimo Yanez.

In March 2021, the first of the former officers charged in the killing of George Floyd will go on trial in Minnesota. Police officers are rarely prosecuted in such cases—and the world will be watching. MPR News, which has followed this case in detail... more
The events we covered in 74 Seconds were only a piece of a larger national conversation on policing and justice. A new podcast from WBEZ and The Chicago Tribune examines a case still unfolding in Chicago.

When is the show coming out next?
I listen to this podcast years ago and it still stays with me. I was shocked. Living in a small rural community in Minnesota this podcast is a must listen. The podcast did a fantastic job bring you to that day to that moment. It was eye opening.
Great coverage of the case...
Can hardly believe the murdering cop was acquitted in this case.. Police should be held to a higher standard.
Nobody should be killed like Casteal was... Profiled judged and executed by the side of the road...

Found this podcast in a resource list after George Floyd’s murder. I didn’t do the work when this happened a few years ago but I’m learning and educating myself now. Thanks for the reporting #blacklivesmatter #blm
Excellent documentary right length well told and a crying shame about what human beings do to each other
I was not looking forward to this one but felt it needed to be heard. I’m glad I listened, though the story is frustrating and sad and makes you feel that justice has not been served. Which is the point.
Do not waste your time unless you enjoy liberal leaning media BS. Their disdain for the police and ability to paint people as angels is par for the course for today’s s media. Example: When detailing the couples activities the day of the shooting, “they smoked a joint and then went to pick up her daughter” ...REALLY?! So, she was such a great mother she allowed her high boyfriend to drive with her daughter in the car.
This doesn’t excuse the actions of the police officer and nobody deserved to... more
This was one of the worst Cop shoot black cases in US history! Thats the story, 74 Hr tried to make a story beyond that. Shame, Phill deserved BETTER!
Very good had to binge listen
This podcast is incredibly good. It’s deep, and thought provoking.
Brilliant!!!
Good look into this case.
Subtly biased at times, and very biased at others. Basically this is a poorly done podcast. The case and cases like it are riveting but this podcast is not worth your time. They should speak to more experts and have less discussion about their personal views.
