    Stay with me
    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.

    Good flow, sad story.
    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.

    Liberal media bias
    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 fie over it, but do not paint them in an angelic light.

    Show off!
    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!

    Good
    Good look into this case.
  • hls308
    Poor reporting
    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.
  • MurderTwilight
    Eye-opening and Informative
    This podcast was extremely well done. The deep dive into the entire incident was spectacular along with the delve into the lives of Philando Castile and Jeronimo Yanez. Like many people, I was already extremely mad and upset about the incident and knew it should have never happened. I wanted (and still want) change and for cops to be charged and persecuted for their crimes. This podcast did an amazing job of going through everything that happened and explaining it. Would definitely recommend.

    We all need to listen to this one!
    A well done podcast with excellent interviews and updates. They shed brilliant light precisely where it needed to be shed.
  • Kbrhonda17
    Short episodes
    Can the episodes be maybe 20 mins long instead of 5? Just put them together... it gets annoying after listening for 5 mins then end credits roll, again and again and again.
  • Art Wild
    Unbiased
    I have listened to it yet, but I’m sure it’s unbiased. I decided that before listening. 😂 That’s the way we’re encouraged to think these days! Works for me!
  • josh_r36
    Eye opening!
    Very well made podcast.
  • Dotcalm9
    not sure why
    but i can’t get all the episodes of the trial. For ex. days 2&3 are missing from the feed

    I wish this was still going
    First of all, before anyone starts listening to this podcast, it must be said that the reporters are not comfortable around guns. Even though that is obvious when listening, they do an excellent job showing both perspectives of this story. I wish they would continue by digging into and analyzing more controversial police shootings.
  • Pasha Ebonfire
    Excellent thought provoking series
    This series was really excellent. It was trying to do more then just pin a blame on someone or play a political game with a tragic event. Every question they asked was to draw clarity in the issue or questions that I am certain some listeners had. I can’t recommend this enough.
  • Mvalencja
    Good job!
    I randomly found this podcast, and even though I knew how it all ended, it was still interesting to listen to the whole thing. The host has a nice voice, good production, good job!
  • JHamrick
    Great show!
    Thought it hit all the right notes--well done!

    Expectred Better: A High School Project
    Based on the 3rd Coast Festival win, I started this podcast with high expectations- however unfortunately, it was immature and lacking any legal analysis. With coverage like, “we stood up, the jury left, we sat down” and packed into the ‘seats as close as you would sit with family’ were nonsensical. This could have been outstanding with less about how the reporters were feeling/experiencing and more professional legal analysis. Serial set forth the gold standard and this was no where even close. Back to school, kids, and keep listening to good trial reporting.

    Reason why they kneel
    This podcast is for all those who question why football players kneel. This isn't about disrespecting a flag or the veterans and soldiers who risk their life. This is about the men and women like Philando whose lives are cut short simply because they are seen as an automatic threat and gunned down senselessly. It's heartbreaking to listen to this podcast but very necessary.
  • RL O
    Great listening
    Thank you for telling this important story.
  • theMegaBeast
    Is this high school?
    Just finished listening to S-Town, and this just doesn't compare. It's a timely and important topic, but these two reporters sound like 16 year olds reading the morning news script at a high school.

    Mandatory Listening for All Americans
    The podcast provides an in-depth look into the story that so many of us have heard about, but forgotten. We cannot afford to forget Philando Castile.
  • MLSBETTIS
    RAD!
    This was a very informative podcast. I like that it wasn't riddled with pointless information to drag it out. Perfect amount of time. I would definitely recommend this to all of you out there.
  • Jb18qu
    Amazing podcast
    Great unbiased reporting from the Starr at MPR
  • Beanlean
    Great podcast
    Very detailed and fair coverage of the murder of Philando Castile. Does a good job of focusing on the events and remains impartial; actually impartial not "impartial aka definitely supporting the officer" #blm
  • Googer
    Philando ❤️
    Justice was not served for Philando. But hopefully this podcast can spread across the nation, share his story, and bring justice to our systems.
  • Rickshaffer
    Really biased
    I feel like you all convicted the officer before the trial even began!!! You wanna know who is to blame for this shooting, it's the 90% of black men in gangs shooting people with no regard for anyone but themselves!! If you have one group of people, regardless of their color, who are out there in gangs killing each other in record numbers, those are the people you get nervous around!!! There has been black officers shoot black men, why do we not hear about this!!!
  • *diggeroo*

    Awesome Show
    One of the only podcast that made me cry.
  • JDeh13
    Excellent
    Excellent reporting on an incredibly tragic event.
  • LinneaRachel
    This helped me out emotionally
    Listening to this really helped me through the difficulty I had with the outcome of the trial and everything in the news. It was objective, I liked hearing the facts of both sides, yet so though provoking, emotional and sincere to the listeners and community concerns. Thanks for making a podcast like this!
  • Denise Nev
    Excellent!
    Fascinating, well done! In my opinion the most important detail revealed in Episode 3 was a recent incident Yanez was involved in before Castile was killed. On a traffic stop he lost his cool, it took Yanez 13 minutes of hyper ventilating, and with help from his fellow officer, to calm himself down.
  • kseymour08
    Amazing
    This Podcast takes out all of the emotion and explains what happened in Minnesota without a whole lot of exaggeration. This should be required listening for all people, especially in these troubling times.
  • KTR0121
    Great reporting on both sides of the story
    Thank you for covering this story in an unbiased and informative way.
  • RIPphilando
    Thank you!
    Thank you for doing such an amazing job covering such a horrific story. It's blantantly and painfully obvious that something has to be done about our poorly trained officers and culture of racism. RIP Philando. Tax the 1%, end Citizens United, and help fund public services such as police depts. for better training and more salary.

    Good but very bias.
    I had hoped for a unbiased account of the situation and trial. Although it is a good podcast for what it is, this is not the type of podcast I was looking for.
