I love the stories. They really hit home. Thank you. I have a terrifying story that happened to me. Makes me feel like a complete idiot but could help other people. Thanks,

I love listening to Chameleon- the host is an excellent interviewer and weaves the elements of each story seamlessly.
This series, churned out by Josh Dean, his creative team, and the established media company AudioChuck, is creative and fun. Sometimes I need a break from true crime podcasts, and this is a Drama/Thriller series which fits the bill. I love the diversity of the stories, Josh’s style of weaving them together, and the thoroughness with which they’re researched prior to release.
