On a lonely stretch of highway in central South Dakota, Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg - the state's top law enforcement officer - strikes and kills a man who was walking on the edge of the road.

The public learns about the crash during an impromptu press conference the next day. The investigation plays out over months. The repercussions play out over years.

"Short Walk: The impeachment of South Dakota Attorney General Jason Ravnsborg" is a podcast written and produced by SDPB's Lee Strubinger looking back at the events of an unprecedented time in state history. It’s a look at the arc of one political career – the events of a dark night – and the ripple effects.

All nine episodes of Short Walk are now available. Episodes can be downloaded or streamed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Episodes are also available at SDPB.org/shortwalk along with other resources about the podcast.
