What are 'post trial interviews'?

You may be asked by the media to give interviews about why the jury decided the way it did or you as an individual juror decided the way you did. If it's a hung jury and it's going for another trial, I would encourage you not to talk with them and the judge may tell you the same thing. If there's been a verdict rendered, the media may want to talk with you if it's a case that's had a lot of publicity. Especially if you've been sequestered during the trial and this may be their only chance to have a media feeding frenzy. You may talk to them if you wish. Besides the media, the attorneys for one side or the other, or both sides and some of the jury consultants may want to ask you how you reached your verdict. They want to know your thinking. They want to know what they did right or what they did wrong or what they didn't do enough of or what they did too much of that caused you to render your verdict. However, you are not obligated in any way to speak to anyone. You can simply say, "I'd rather not talk about my verdict, I have no comment."
