Chameleon is a new weekly show from veteran journalist Josh Dean (co-creator and host of The Clearing, Hooked, White Devil, and the original Chameleon season, Hollywood Con Queen) that takes you inside an incredible, stranger-than-fiction story about someone—... more

There’s something incredibly compelling about the way Josh Dean tells a story. I’ve really enjoyed all of his multi episode stories, so I was thrilled to find this ongoing weekly series. It’s up to the usual Campside standard, which means you HAVE to listen if you appreciate quality journalism.
Josh Dean and Campside Media make THE best podcasts ( along with CBC ). Brilliantly told, forensically researched I am constantly searching more of their podcasts as they are completely addictive.
Every aspect is excellent
Josh gives us a wide variety of true criminal cases backed by sound research. I look forward to the next episode always!
Well done
