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?

Our final DODC cast interview is with @ogiebanks (Adrian), and he talked to us about why #BlackHistoryMonth is important to him, and the vital need for inclusive voice casting—and his favorite episode!
“ Black History Month to me is a time of reflection. Looking at all that has happened to the world, the good the bad and the ugly. A time to reflect on our brothers and sisters and come together to better ourselves and the world.”
OB: I think it’s important to have diverse voices in audio drama/podcasting. I know for me it helps to fully feel and imagine the surroundings. It adds those extra Gummy Bears and Cotton Candy that sounds sweet to the ear.

#BlackHistoryMonth
Here's a sneak peek:
EEP: Speaker Parker has an incredibly high-profile job and gets into some potentially shady dealings; how did you manage to balance that aspect of the character with the other aspect of the character, being a mom to two teenagers?
AW: I’m not a parent, but in watching my own parents and friends with children — there is nothing like a child to bring an adult back down to earth. Most kids are naturally inquisitive and honest in their pursuit of the truth. Why? What is the purpose? What is your intention? Why should I, if you don’t? In answering those questions of her children, Speaker Parker is undoubtedly forced to do some internal reckoning. I leaned into the delicate balance between her professional efforts at protecting the “greater good” and her crises of conscience at having to answer to Jaymes and Cole.
Lockesmith. Forever shady and stirring up trouble. Episode 6 dives into the ugly side of the Beautillion. Swipe to hear the snippet and revisit the Daughters. #dodcpodcast
Go back to the Beautillion where the the night really is about family but Lockesmith is sending Jaymes on a vastly different path as the Daughters mix it up with the D.C. elite. Revisit episode 5 of #DODCpodcast.
"Black History Month, to me, means a time when we can look back at some of the great black pioneers who have paved the way with their sacrifice. It’s also time for us to celebrate them and our heritage and focus on continuing, as a race, to make a positive impact on the world and the generations to come.
It’s extremely important to have diverse voices in talent in ALL industries but especially in this one because we focus on story telling and sharing experiences. Many times these stories serve as an avenue for others to be exposed to someone else’s stories and experiences. Exposure helps so much with understanding and education. I think people having a variety of cultural exposures early can only have a positive effect on the world."
