In observance of Emotional Wellness Month, this Big Blend Radio episode features award-winning filmmaker Sean King O’Grady, who discusses his compelling new docuseries “Suspicious Minds.” Premiering October 17, 2025, Season One of this eight-part video and podcast series investigates the disturbing rise of artificial intelligence as a trigger for delusional thinking, and its profound impact on mental health, culture, and human relationships.
Created and directed by O’Grady, Suspicious Minds explores how AI technologies and chatbots are influencing our perception of reality, blurring the line between mental wellness and mental illness, and redefining how we connect and communicate in an increasingly digital world.
The series features psychiatrist Dr. Joel Gold and philosopher Ian Gold, PhD (authors of Suspicious Minds: How Culture Shapes Madness and identifiers of “The Truman Show Delusion”), alongside AI researchers, ethicists, and individuals whose real-life experiences reveal how technology can both comfort and confuse the human mind.
With empathy and insight, Suspicious Minds sparks an essential conversation about the psychological and cultural effects of AI, urging greater awareness, compassion, and understanding as we navigate the emotional landscape of our tech-driven era.
Watch the weekly series on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, Substack, and more.
