James McClintock and His Magical Killing Machines

Time: 40:57
It’s 1880 and a man claiming to be famed bomb and submarine builder James McClintock walks into the British Consulate in Philadelphia. He smoothly offers to help the Monarchy fight Irish rebels by secretly building them faulty bombs. The British are intrigued, but have only one question.  Seeing as the real James McClintock accidentally blew himself up while testing torpedoes in Boston Harbor one year earlier, then… who the heck is this man standing in front of them. Brace yourself for a saga filled with betrayal, treason, oh and explosions.  Lots and lots of explosions.

Description

History consists of heroes and villains (and, I suppose everything in between)... but it's usually the villains who are the most interesting: Their flaws, their quirks, the voids in their hearts that force them to do the unthinkable. These are the characters that fascinate us, that pull us in, that compel us to watch and don’t let us look away. And these are the characters that Scoundrel: History’s Forgotten Villains is all about.
Scoundrel, is a new anthology podcast from Kast Media and the award winning creators of Myths & Legends, that tells the stories of the rapscallions through time who were just a little more adept at hiding their evil from historians than others. By joining them on their treacherous journeys, we not only learn about what makes them tick, but more importantly, the times that created them.
Sidney Gottlieb, George Remus, Thomas Blood, James McClintock. They’ve all done horrible things...on varying scales. If there’s anything we can salvage from their misdeeds and incalculable human suffering, it’s the opportunity to use them to elucidate the times they’ve lived… so that we can better understand ourselves.
