This season, Georgia On Your Mind leaves the studio and hits the road. Our new concept, Dawgs On the Road, brings listeners closer to the action with on-site interviews and stories captured where they happen. From Georgia to across the country, we’re spotlighting UGA alumni, faculty, athletes, and students who are shaping industries, driving change, and strengthening communities.

With natural sound, authentic voices, and Bulldog energy, Season Four continues the storytelling tradition of Georgia On Your Mind—but with a fresh twist that puts you right in the middle of it all. Tune in to hear the lasting impact of Georgia’s flagship institution through the people living it every day.
