Dupont Investigations drops Episode 4 with new clues at a boarding house

Episode 4 of the podcast drama Dupont Investigations, Flight of the Fallen, is out now on every major platform. The chapter sends Torsten Somersby and Nigel Clemmons to a Washington boarding house, where a sharp-tongued landlady helps point the investigation toward a motive behind the killings.

Why it matters: - Episode 4 pushes the season’s mystery forward by connecting the violence to a deeper pattern of racial targeting and exclusion. - The series continues to build momentum, with total downloads now above 26,000 and the show expanding its audience across both seasons. - The story also folds in Washington history, using the episode’s setting to reflect real-world discrimination against Black federal officeholders.

What happened: - Episode 4 of Dupont Investigations: Flight of the Fallen is streaming now on every podcast platform. - Torsten Somersby and his partner Nigel Clemmons rush through the rain to check on Kurt Feuerstein after a bestial face appears at Rowena Nesbit’s window. - Kurt is Nigel’s young friend, and his family name may have made him a target. - At Kurt’s boarding house, Torsten and Nigel meet Ida Tate, Kurt’s landlady, played by Tatyana Ridgeway. - Ida has little patience for two strangers on her stoop and even less confidence that police will treat her fairly. - Ida’s late husband served as a federal appointee under President Taft before Woodrow Wilson’s administration removed him from office.

The details: - The episode draws from a real chapter of Washington history in which Black officeholders were pushed out of government. - Ida’s knowledge of Kurt, and the views he mostly kept to himself, gives Torsten his first sense of a possible motive behind the killings. - Marc Benjamin Langston, Dupont Investigations co-creator and showrunner, said some themes may sound familiar because racial disparity and white supremacist ideology persisted long after 1936. - Season 1, The Scourge from Carthage, runs six episodes. - Season 2 has been streaming since its September 1 premiere. - Flight of the Fallen runs six episodes, with new installments arriving every other Tuesday through the November 10 finale. - Across both seasons, Dupont Investigations has surpassed 26,000 IAB Tech Lab-certified downloads and continues to grow.

Between the lines: - The series is using a supernatural-noir setup to surface historic and present-day racial power dynamics. - Ida Tate functions as both a plot device and a historical mirror, turning a boarding house scene into commentary on who gets believed and protected. - The show’s growth suggests the audience is responding to the mix of mystery, history and social critique.

What’s next: - New episodes of Flight of the Fallen will continue every other Tuesday until the November 10 season finale. - New listeners can enter the series at any point, since both seasons are already available. - The production is offering supporting materials, including a hand-annotated visual case file and an online press kit with hi-res artwork, the full cast list and synopses at the show’s press kit. - Viewers can also follow Nocturne Hall on Instagram for previews and cast reveals.

The bottom line: - Episode 4 deepens the season’s mystery while tying the case to a larger history of racial exclusion in Washington.
