iHeartMedia, Einhorn's Epic Productions Team For Slate Of New Young Adult Podcasts

New Slate

iHEARTMEDIA and EINHORN'S EPIC PRODUCTIONS are partnering for a slate of iHEARTRADIO Original Podcasts with strong female characters targeted at the Young Adult audience, debuting in the FALL of 2020 with a scripted fictional teen political thriller, "DAUGHTERS OF DC." The partnership continues a relationship that launched with another Young Adult scripted fictional podcast, “LETHAL LIT: A TIG TORRES MYSTERY," now in development for television by DANA BRUNETTI's CAVALRY MEDIA.

“At EEP, we're all about creating the next generation of heroic, female characters and stories,” said EINHORN'S EPIC PRODUCTIONS CEO HEATHER EINHORN, who will oversee the new podcast slate with Chief Creative Officer ADAM STAFARONI and AROOP SANAKKAYALA for EEP and iHEARTRADIO Head of Podcasting CONAL BYRNE. “Given the current political climate, we think the time is right for a smart teen political thriller with diverse and dynamic female leads. Our synergy with iHEARTMEDIA is unique, and we can’t wait to bring more original stories to the audience that fell in love with ‘LETHAL LIT.’”

BYRNE added, “The EINHORN team is one of the strongest creative shops we’ve worked with in podcasting -- and their goal is nothing less than building entire universes from scratch -- like MARVEL and DC have done in the past. What’s more, EINHORN’s aim is to accomplish this while staying loser-focused on a female young adult demo -- with powerful new female heroes at the center of the stories. We think the potential there is massive, the mission is important, and wanted to support it in any way we could.”
