The Invincibles: Park Assassins - Podcast

09/05/2021

The Irish Times have released a video we shot with them back at Christmas in Kilmainham regarding The Invincibles. https://www.irishtimes.com/news/who-were-the-irish-national-invincibles-and-should-they-be-reinterred-1.4559489?mode=amp&fbclid=IwAR3yUMNRMsMNoWnNC596QtRfIWJRl0tubXEVvTrS1oIrkmAMwULBolyY82s

A podcast has generated new interest in the Irish National Invincibles, a splinter group of the IRB who had five members hanged and buried in Kilmainham Gaol in 1883 for murdering two senior civil servants in the Phoenix Park. Video: Bryan O'Brien

"Interest in the Invincibles has also been heightened by a groundbreaking eight-part podcast entitled The Invincibles: Park Assassins by Roisin Jones.

With a Master’s in applied digital media from Griffith College, Ms Jones spent three years carefully crafting the podcast recreating not only the assassinations, but the celebrated court case which brought the Invincibles to justice thanks to the indefatigable Inspector John Mallon of the Dublin Metropolitan Police."

A great piece in today's Irish Times and a nice shout-out for the podcast too.

Shoutout to some of the actors in EP7 in particular. The fury with which MJ Sullivan defends Curley's 'fearless nationalist' character. How Paul Butler Lennox delivers tongue twister reports from the time that were not intended to be read aloud & how Oisin De Lange seamlessly switches through all parts he read throughout.
