Sean King O'Grady talks about Season Two of “Suspicious Minds,” streaming on YouTube and Apple Podcasts talking about the world beyond the third dimension.
I spoke with host and creator Sean King O’Grady about Season Two of “Suspicious Minds,” the critically acclaimed podcast series exploring artificial intelligence as a psychological and cultural turning point.
Produced by Agoric Media in partnership with Wondermind, the mental health media company founded by Mandy Teefey and Selena Gomez, “Suspicious Minds,” was selected for the 2026 Tribeca Creators Market in early June, coinciding with the launch of Season Two, “AI and the Apocalypse,” on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and other major platforms.
Over two years, O’Grady interviewed leading philosophers, scientists, psychologists, historians and theologians to examine whether AI poses an existential threat and what the question reveals about the human psyche. As in Season One, the series is anchored by Dr. Joel Gold and Ian Gold, Ph.D., the brothers who coined the term “The Truman Show Delusion” and co-authored “Suspicious Minds: How Culture Shapes Madness.”
Season Two features thinkers including Timothy Morton, David Benatar, Judith Wolfe, Sheldon Solomon, Dr. Michael Ferguson, Dr. Samuel Justin Sinclair, Nolen Gertz, Johann Hari, Malo Bourgon, Emily Ray, Robert Kirsch, Kelly Bulkeley, James Cussen and Dorian Lynskey.
O’Grady, whose filmmaking credits include Sundance, Tribeca and SXSW, produces the narrative documentary series with Wondermind. Mandy Teefey, Selena Gomez, Jonathon Glucksman, David Tuohy, Feras M. Shammami, Jesse Ford and Molly Borman serve as executive producers. Jesse Ford is the producer.
The podcast recently broke into the Top 25 of all series on Apple Podcasts, reached No. 1 in its category in the United Kingdom and Ireland and is charting in 20 markets across five continents. The season draws from more than 50 interviews with experts and people who have experienced AI-related delusions and psychosis.
