ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
What makes a lie believable? And why do smart, ordinary people sometimes miss the signs of deception until it’s too late?
Nothing Felt Wrong explores true stories of scams, fraud, deception, manipulation, social engineering, catfishing, betrayal, and the human behavior behind them.
Hosted by Anne Genduso, each episode looks beyond what happened to ask a more interesting question: Why did it work?
Through narrative Deep Dives and conversations with guests and experts, we unpack the psychological tactics, social dynamics, and warning signs that can make even extraordinary situations feel completely believable in the moment.
New episodes include Deep Dives, where Anne investigates fascinating real-life stories of deception, and Side-Eye Sessions, where guests join to share expertise, examine real stories, and explore how deception and manipulation work in the real world.
Because nothing felt wrong…until it did.
