Over The Symposium Podcast

Ever wonder why things are the way they are? Why some people are introverted and some are extraverted? Why is a dog "man's best friend"? Why you shouldn't take that sixth shot of Jägermeister as your friends yell YOU GOT THIS!!! If so, you're in the right place. Join modern day philosophers E. Wright and Romero as they resurrect an ancient Greek tradition to take on old and new issues of the world. So grab a drink and put on your thinking cap. Welcome to The Symposium.

aflevering Failing Forward artwork

Failing Forward

E. Wright and Ro's Gold are back and kicking things off with the news, breaking down Kanye West's latest move to Albania and what that says about… everything. Then the conversation gets into some heavy but necessary territory. The boys revisit the conversation on the pressure of being healed and what it really looks like to be a work in progress. They bring in Dr. Rachel Martin's perspective to ground the conversation on the Joe Budden Podcast, then pivot to Michael Beasley and what his story reveals about talent, mental health, and the road not taken. The boys also check in on Spring Into Action — how the challenge has been going, what's working, what isn't, and why failing forward is sometimes the most honest progress you can make. Episode 156 is a reminder that healing isn't linear, growth is messy, and showing up imperfectly still counts.

Be Authentic

The boys E. Wright and Ro's Gold are back with another round of real talk and cold takes. Kicking things off with the news — breaking down the White House Correspondents Dinner, running through all things sports in 90 seconds, weighing in on the Michael Jackson biopic. They also get into the leaked Disney movies list and give their thoughts on ICEMAN promotion. The conversation later shifts into something deeper. The boys unpack the unlikely pairing of Megan Thee Stallion and Klay Thompson and what it says about public perception, authenticity, and how we judge people's choices. From there, E. Wright and Ro's Gold dig into the connection between your nervous system and success — why staying calm under pressure isn't just a mindset thing, it's biological, and what it actually takes to show up as your most authentic self when the stakes are high. Episode 155 is news, laughs, and the kind of honest conversation you can only have when you stop performing and decide to be real.

Performative Healing

E. Wright and Ro's Gold return with another thoughtful and layered conversation blending current events, self-awareness, and real-life reflection. Episode 154 opens with discussions around March Madness, Michigan’s championship run, UCLA’s historic title win, and reactions to President Trump’s controversial comments surrounding Iran and global conflict. The heart of the episode centers around performative healing on social media and whether mental health awareness has started becoming more about aesthetics and engagement than genuine personal growth. The boys unpack therapy culture, motivational content, social media validation, and what happens when healing becomes part of someone’s online identity instead of real internal work. The conversation also explores the pressure Black men feel to always be “strong,” the difficulty of vulnerability, and what it means to live authentically in a world built around performance and perception.

Connections Over Options

After a brief hiatus, your boys, E. Wright and Ro's Gold return with an honest and layered conversation in Episode 152 covering everything from Druski’s viral controversy, Spider-Man: Brand New Day to Michael B. Jordan’s Oscar win for Sinners and One Piece reaching a historic 600 million copies sold worldwide. The heart of the episode centers around modern dating culture and how social media has changed the way people approach relationships. The boys unpack the idea of “options vs. connections,” discussing how many people confuse attention, accessibility, and validation with genuine emotional connection. From dating apps and dopamine-driven interactions to vulnerability, heartbreak, and emotional growth, the conversation gets real fast. The episode also includes an honest check-in on personal struggles, accountability, motivation, and the reality of falling short on goals during “Spring Into Action.”
