Catfishing. We’ve all heard of it. People appear to be prettier than they are on Tinder or Plenty of Fish and you think to yourself, ‘there’s no way this person is real.’ But what happens when you’re right? What happens when the person you’ve been in love with for the past ten years is a lie?

In this week’s episode, listen in as Professor Michael Drane and Cybersecurity Engineer Ryan Lee explore the Psychology of MTV’s ‘Catfish’--Season 8, Episode 32 with Caitea and Paul. They look at the common reasons people catfish, the psychology behind their attachment style, how you can protect yourself against catfishing, and more.

For those of you who are the catfish perpetrator, beware—we’re teaching our audience how to find you.

Stay safe out there friends, and we hope you enjoy the show.
