Georgia On Your Mind Season Two

When most people think of the University of Georgia, the first thing that probably comes to mind is the back-to-back National Championship-winning football team. While the Bulldogs play an undeniably crucial role in the success and appeal of the school, the Georgia on Your Mind podcast seeks to promote other, more unexplored ways UGA contributes to its home state’s cultural, social, and economic identity. Throughout the course of Georgia On Your Mind’s brand new second season, titled, “Beyond the Hedges,” listeners are introduced to lesser-known people and programs doing incredible things – not only for the university, but for the entire state. Each episode offers exclusive, in-depth perspectives through conversations with those directly involved in the advancement of Georgia’s excellence.

Season Two of Georgia On Your Mind celebrates the vast reach and impact of theUniversity of Georgia, taking listeners on a journey to uncover the best-kept secrets that make it such an extraordinary institution. They are given a behind-the-scenes, front-row seat to the development of innovative technology and game-changing initiatives taking place just outside the spotlight. Episode topics include satellite-building at the UGA Small Satellite Research Laboratory, community revitalization through the UGA Archway Partnership, research conducting whale-saving robots at Skidaway Island, and the school’s pivotal position in the breeding of blueberries, one of Georgia’s often forgotten but top commodities.

Podcasts are more popular now than ever before, giving both casual and committed listeners access to immersive and interactive audio experiences based on any topic they can possibly imagine. There is so much great work being done by UGA across the state of Georgia, and Georgia On Your Mind’s second season highlights these efforts in a fun and refreshing way, telling empowering stories that deserve to be heard.
