Feminine. Fierce. Unfiltered: Dina LaPolt's "The Stiletto Room" Podcast

Published by New Jersey Stage

originally published: 08/21/2025

Dina LaPolt, powerhouse attorney, trailblazing advocate, and one of the most influential women in music and entertainment, has launched a new podcast, The Stiletto Room.

With her signature candor and sharp wit, LaPolt — the founder of Los Angeles-based LaPolt Law, the only law firm of its stature owned by a sole female attorney — sits down each week with creative visionaries, iconic disruptors, and unapologetic originals to dive deep into work, life, love, LGBTQ+ journeys, social justice, and everything in between.

In addition to leading LaPolt Law — her primary focus and the powerhouse firm representing clients in music, film, TV, and fashion, as well as entrepreneurs and executives — LaPolt once again proves that women can do it all. With The Stiletto Room, she breaks through outdated norms and sets new standards. Described as Call Her Daddy meets Mel Robbins, the series is a fearless, unfiltered space for raw, real conversations with the figures shaping culture today.

Directed by Mike Melendy, the podcast marks the first project under LaPolt Media, the newly launched umbrella for LaPolt’s creative and publishing ventures, which also includes her forthcoming book Street Smart: Succeeding in a Man’s World (Burman Books Media, October 6, 2025). LaPolt Media is currently seeking to develop the life rights to the book into an episodic series chronicling her rise to success — from personal struggles to professional triumphs — as she overcame obstacles and shattered barriers in male-dominated industries.

Samantha Gayle Bullock, Chief Media Officer of LaPolt Media and Executive Producer of The Stiletto Room, leads the development and execution of LaPolt’s creative projects. With a dynamic background in music, media, and IP development, Bullock oversees the portfolio’s production, distribution, and partnerships — helping bring LaPolt’s bold vision to life.

The premiere episode features GRAMMY-winning and 2x Oscar Nominated singer and songwriter, Siedah Garrett, a timeless artist known for co-penning Michael Jackson’s iconic “Man in the Mirror” and countless other hits. Garrett also wrote “My Stilettos,” the empowering theme song for The Stiletto Room. Together, LaPolt and Garrett discuss her storied career, her humanitarian work, and the personal and professional resilience that has made her a pillar of the industry.

“I’ve spent my career fighting for creators, amplifying voices, and telling the stories others are afraid to tell,” said LaPolt. “This podcast is an extension of that — an open invitation to sit at my table and talk about what really matters.”

New episodes of The Stiletto Room will release every Wednesday and feature a slate of visionaries, behind-the-scenes bosses, and heavy-hitters who are reshaping culture. This season’s guests include Tinashe, Prophet, deadmau5Morgan WadeChaz BonoShani Darden, Liz Hernandez, and Jason Lee, among others.

Listeners can tune into the show on all major podcast platforms.
