The Hall Closet Podcast is true crime like you've never heard it before - told from the inside. I grew up in the 1980's and 90's in a lower tier crime family outside of Philadelphia.

My stepdad – John Ha... more

  • The Hall Closet

    I lived in this town and never heard about this. Things were kept quiet back then.

    I can’t believe she had to endure what she went thru.

    She tells her story and it really draws you in.

    I can’t wait for the next episode. I’ve been telling my friends to listen to this podcast of this crime that happened in our town.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S2E15 Ruthless
Q: How did that come to fruition? I'm dying to know how you got there. What did you do?
My favorite question is, what did you want to do with the rest of your life when you were 16? When I was 16 or 17, I wanted to be a professional hockey player. But an amazing teacher encouraged me to go to the military.
S2E15 Ruthless
Q: What advice would you give to me and anyone listening?
The best advice I can honestly give anybody is don't gloss over this. It's going to be hard. If it's going to work, it's got to be tailored to you and what you want.
S2E12 Justice For Rocky
Q: What type of practice are you practicing? What type of cases are you taking?
I handle a lot of land use, zoning, real estate, and property cases, along with some commercial litigation.
S2E12 Justice For Rocky
Q: Can you talk to me about what that means and what actually happened in this case?
The defendant pled no lo contendere, which means he didn't admit guilt but agreed that the prosecution had enough evidence to convict him.
S2E11 When Love Has No Address
Q: What would make you feel better?
Nothing will ever change the fact that I wasn't loved as a child. Nothing will ever change that.
