What is Seriously Sus?
Seriously Sus is a weekly podcast and video series hosted by Nanette and Miranda, two besties doing what we do best: exposing shadiness with a side-eye. The show digs into the stories, claims, and chao sand cultural moments that make people pause and ask, “Wait… is that actually true?”
From true crime cases and questionable media narratives to viral controversies and full‑blown internet chaos, (and maybe even the occasional ghost story because, honestly, we just like spooky stuff), each episode blends humor, skepticism, and the tea. This is real talk, honest opinions, humor with teeth but handled with care. We ask the uncomfortable questions, call out suspicious behavior and laugh so we don’t scream. If it feels suspicious, shady or just straight up wrong, we are going to side-eye it!
New episodes drop weekly and are available on YouTube, Spotify, and major podcast platforms.

How Did They Fall for That? The Weird Psychology of Getting Scammed
You'd never fall for a scam.You're too smart. Too skeptical. You'd spot the red flags immediately.
Right?
Then how do otherwise intelligent, capable people end up sending strangers millions of dollars, falling in love with people who don't exist, paying fake fees to collect prizes they never won—or buying gold bars because someone told them their computer had been hacked?
How did they fall for that?
That's the question Miranda and Nanette are digging into in this episode of Seriously Sus.
We're not just talking about the scams. We're talking about what happens inside the human brain that makes a scam feel believable in the moment.
Along the way, we're getting into urgency, authority, fear, hope, attachment, confirmation bias, sunk costs, overconfidence, shame—and the bizarre ways our brains try to protect us from admitting we've made a mistake.
Come for the outrageous stories. Stay for the uncomfortable realization that the person most capable of being manipulated by a scammer might not be some gullible stranger.
It might be you.

The Attention Economy: Why Everyone Wants a Piece of Your Brain
What if your attention is one of the most valuable resources in the world... and you've been giving it away for free?
Every day, thousands of companies, creators, apps, and advertisers compete for one thing: your attention. But how did we get here? When did "just checking your phone" become part of a trillion-dollar economy? And why does everything—from streaming services and social media to news alerts and loyalty programs—seem determined to keep you coming back for "just one more"?
In this episode of Seriously Sus, Nanette and Miranda investigate the attention economy: how attention became a commodity, why businesses measure and compete for it, how urgency and FOMO became profitable, why "free" isn't always free, and what all of this means for the choices we make every day.
This isn't an episode about deleting your social media or throwing your phone into a lake. It's about understanding the invisible marketplace we're all participating in—and why recognizing it might be the most powerful thing you can do.
Because once you understand what your attention is worth, you may never look at a notification the same way again.

The Attention Span Myth: Why Does It Feel Like We Can't Focus?
Apparently we all have shorter attention spans than goldfish.
Which is awkward...
...because it's not actually true.
So why does it feel like you can't finish a chapter of a book anymore, but somehow you can watch six straight episodes of The Bear without moving?
Why do you walk into a room and immediately forget why you're there?
And why is your brain suddenly convinced checking your phone is an emergency when absolutely nothing happened?
This week, Nanette and Miranda investigate one of the internet's favorite claims and discover that psychologists don't even agree on what an "attention span" is.
Along the way, they uncover why multitasking is mostly a myth, why boredom might actually be doing your brain a favor, why poor goldfish deserve a better publicist, and why your best ideas always seem to show up in the shower.
Spoiler alert: Your brain probably isn't broken.
It's just dealing with a lot.
So grab your phone...
Actually, maybe don't.
Let's investigate.
Warning: Side effects of listening may include:
• Looking suspiciously at your phone.
• Wondering why you're in the kitchen.
• Feeling unexpectedly sympathetic toward goldfish.
