About Daughters of DC

At Washington DC’s most elite prep school, Jaymes – the tech-savvy daughter of the Speaker of The House – and her best friends Peyton, Natalie, and Celia share their deepest secrets on a private app called DODC. When the girls are hacked by a mysterious figure, they’re thrust into a global conspiracy that threatens to expose DC’s most influential families. Join the Daughters Of DC in an original scripted teen political thriller podcast by Einhorn’s Epic Productions and iHeartRadio (“Lethal Lit: A Tig Torres Mystery”). 

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

Jaymes Parker

Daughter of the first black woman voted Speaker of the House, SPEAKER ANGELA PARKER. A tech-savvy young coder, Jaymes creates the DODC app for all of her friends to secretly keep in touch. But as the other girls have gone on to find new friends in high school, Jaymes hasn’t had such an easy time, instead retreating further and further into her digital world.

Natalie Rosenberg 

The daughter of staunch leftist CONGRESSMAN ROSENBERG. An activist herself, she’s a bold, impulsive, and outspoken young progressive, unafraid to make her voice heard. But her resolute commitment to her causes translates into stubborn entrenchment when dealing with her Dad, and they’re constantly battling one another. She has a compulsive rebellious streak and is determined to enjoy her high school years as much as possible. 

Peyton Blackburn 

Peyton is the daughter of a grand political dynasty; her family is full of third-generation politicians, including her father, SENATOR BUCK BLACKBURN. Dupont Prep is a playground for a wealthy, connected, pretty young socialite like Peyton. But home life is not so easy — being part of such a high-profile dynasty comes with a lot of traditional expectations surrounding the role of women in the family, and Peyton’s learning that she’s got a mind of her own. 

Celia Liu

A Queen Bee and #RichKidsofInstagram social media influencer, she’s been taught by her wealthy and influential lobbyist parents to always be looking for a path to success and independence, no matter who she has to step on to get there. Impeccably dressed, Celia has a cadre of shark-in-the-making clones following her around Dupont. With her parents’ gaze focused elsewhere, Celia strives to stand on her own two feet… but can she really make it on her own?
