Season 3 will consist of four one-hour episodes airing from November to May 2022 on GPB’s statewide television network.

It also explores trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among African-American mothers. Episode two of Season 3 will air in January 2022.


“’Your Fantastic Mind’ harnesses the power of storytelling to describe the science of the human brain and share the profound experiences of patients, doctors and medical professionals,” says Emory University President Gregory L. Fenves. “We are honored to collaborate with Georgia Public Broadcasting to deepen the understanding of brain health and how scientific discovery shapes our daily lives.”


Earlier this year, “Your Fantastic Mind” was honored with six Emmy awards from the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Southeast Chapter, including best TV series.


The show was also accepted for nationwide distribution by the National Educational Telecommunications Association, making Season 2 available to PBS stations across the country for inclusion in their programming schedules. To date, “Your Fantastic Mind” has been picked up by 24 PBS stations in 23 markets including some of the nation’s largest television markets in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington DC. In addition to Georgia, the show also airs statewide in South Carolina, Kentucky, Maryland, Indiana and Mississippi.

Lewin, executive vice president for health affairs at Emory University.
