Next month will mark two years since the infamous police shooting of Charles Kinsey, an unarmed black man, in North Miami. The shooting was caught on cellphone camera. Kinsey was the caretaker for an autistic man, Arnaldo Rios, who was sitting next to Kinsey when he was shot in the street. The story spiraled into national news - it happened during the same summer that Philando Castile and Alton Sterling were shot. Now a new WNYC podcast, called After Effect, examines Rios' life during and after that traumatic incident. The first three episodes by host and reporter Audrey Quinn are already out. She joined Sundial from the WNYC studios.

The viewer can interact with and even sit inside the art. She joined Sundial in the studio.
