New Phone...Who Dis?

Should Failure Be an Option?

Lindsay and Markel are back and better than ever with the revamped Wrestling the Ring podcast! This episode kicks off a new season of great conversations where wrestling, television, and real-life questions collide. They start with a quick catch-up on life — from art shows and finishing their office to Nile’s birthday and soccer updates. Lindsay introduces her new weekly segment, "Lindsay’s Deep Dive," where she re-watches classic TV episodes and reflects on the life questions they spark. You can find her full thoughts over at her blog, blackgirlwritesagain.blog [https://blackgirlwritesagain.blog]. This week’s big question? Should failure be an option? Lindsay and Markel dive into the idea of failure, hustle culture, and how to turn setbacks into growth opportunities. With inspiration from Zora Neale Hurston, they frame this season as one of asking bold questions and searching for real answers — all while keeping the laughs, love, and wrestling talk going. The Old School Archive and Trivia segments are teased for next week, and listeners are invited to join the conversation on Instagram (@wrestlingtheringpodcast) and X (@wrestlingtherng).
