New Dupont Circle noir mystery podcast premieres
A new queer, fictionalized crime mystery podcast set in Dupont Circle in the 1930s premiered in November. “Dupont Investigations: The Scourge from Carthage,” created by Marc Benjamin Langston and Bryce Bowyn, follows the story of local private investigator and occult expert Torsten Somersby.
The story begins when a tobacco heir dies mysteriously, and Nigel Clemmons, an out-of-town insurance investigator, recruits Torsten to dig into the truth of what actually happened.
The heir’s death, who had a troubled past and ancient occult conspiracy obsession, is far from a simple case. The drama includes an underlying queer romance, themes of addiction, and supernatural components.
Bowyn, a local audiovisual artist and singer, has been a fan of audio dramas and horrors for years, and got Langston hooked on the genre.
