Nocturne Hall shares a scene from Season 1 and a quick guide to ‘The Scourge from Carthage’ ahead of the ‘Flight of the Fallen’ premiere
WASHINGTON, DC, UNITED STATES, August 27, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — With Season 2 of Dupont Investigations, Flight of the Fallen, premiering Tuesday, September 1, Nocturne Hall invites new listeners to catch up on the complete first season, The Scourge from Carthage, now streaming on all major podcast platforms. The season runs six episodes of thirty to fifty minutes, so starting from Episode 1 today leaves ample time to be caught up before the premiere.
The Scourge from Carthage introduces Torsten Somersby, a private investigator whose deep knowledge of the occult draws the cases no one else will touch. When a handsome tobacco heir dies mysteriously, Torsten is pulled into the young man’s troubled past and an ancient conspiracy buried beneath a 1936 Washington of shadowy intrigue, the “District of Crime.” The debut season has earned more than 24,400 IAB Tech Lab-certified downloads and was spotlighted by Washingtonian.
The show’s cold open is included in this release as its video: a young man in the grip of delirium, certain he can hear golden harp strings in the night air, and his friend who cannot. It is a quick first taste of the series’ voice, its 1936 Washington, and the quiet dread that tips the ordinary into the supernatural, for anyone meeting the show for the first time.
Listeners who want a richer way in can explore the show’s visual case file, a hand-annotated companion that assembles the evidence of Season 1 the way Torsten would keep it, from the Steeples Tobacco empire and the mysterious death of its heir to the Spanish Steps of Kalorama and the halls of the Cairo Hotel.
“Honestly, the best way to brace for the next menace is to press play on Episode 1 and let the season carry you,” said Marc Benjamin Langston, Dupont Investigations co-creator and showrunner. “I still remember how it felt to finish that first season the first time through. I want new listeners to know Torsten has been through the mill before Flight of the Fallen even begins.”
Dupont Investigations is the brainchild of Washington, DC-based co-creators and showrunners Marc Benjamin Langston (he/him) and Bryce Bowyn (he/him). Langston is a long-form writer and attorney. Bryce Bowyn is an electropop musician and advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and mental health. Both creators are DC Arts and Humanities Fellows, recognized for their outstanding contributions to DC as a world-class cultural capital, for their fiction and popular-music work respectively.
