The Great Chameleon War
Justin HellstromWelcome to the Nesting Zone: a surreal rim of jungle around Mt. Tahoma prowled by transdimensional reptiles. The Amanuensis catalogues his expedition up the volcano slope and records stories of explorers caught in the evolving dreamscape. Paleo-mythic lizard pyromancy. Blood whisper secrets. Carnivorous astronauts. Cursed poem hallucinations. Staying sane is not an option: a fiction podcast by Jus... more

Spectacular! Weird! Eerie! So worth a listen. Has all sorts of weird critters in it (humans included)
Podchaser5a year agoArianWellsArguable one of the weirdest fiction podcasts you'll hear. I have it in Fantasy, but that's not quite right. Then again... I don't know which category is correct. This is just... weird. But quite good!
Podchaser52 years agoEvo TerraA surreal adventure-experience with an exquisite soundscape, fun characters, talented actors, bizarre imagery, evocative poetry and even some sort of plot! I would definitely recommend this to myself, if I could forget things on demand.

Review
I recent tripped over this eargasm while in Mexico hunting possibilities in a Taco Bell parking lot. The Taco Bell only served mashed potatoes and shovels, but thankfully I was able to keep my earphones in thanks to that extra thick sauce, and listen with joy while being tickled.

United States3 years ago - Beautiful and terrifying
Welcome to the most beautiful and terrifying battlefield/birthday party you’ve ever seen. The abstract prose and matching sound design will almost certainly send you on a trip. Plot and characters are fleeting, but that just makes more room for deliciously dense psychedelic imagery and soundscapes. Worth a listen even if you’re just looking for something startlingly different!

Canada3 years ago Strange and non-linear, this podcast is a trip each episode where nothing makes or makes as much sense as you think. Full of colourful and unique sound design as well as very well written and interesting characters.
Podcast Addict3 years agoreebleThe Great Chameleon War is the kind of work of art that makes other artists say, “Wow,” and “How did they do that?” and “I want to do that…” A surreal experience of abstract storytelling and acid washed sound design, TGCW changes and adapts, moving with reptilian liquidity, and blending genres like a Chameleon. The show’s most impressive quality is its inability to be classified or properly described. Even calling it ‘experimental’ wouldn’t come close to doing it justice. This isn’t just another... more
Podchaser54 years agoJeremy Ellett- I prefer my own acid trips.
Heavily atmospheric hallucinogenic sound trip. Great if you aren’t looking for plot, characters, or dialogue. Or if you want to know what it’s like tripping on hallucinogens. Personally, I prefer my own stoned imagery.

Podchaser54 years agoA. R. OLIVIERISurreal experimental storytelling that uses abstract poetic language and interesting sound design to build atmosphere. Explores memory and the intricacies holding life together and destroying it.
Podchaser54 years agoerervaAn incredible show, and probably the most unique Audio drama I've ever listened to.
Podchaser54 years agoAdam Ganong- It isn't just the colours
that the chamelons mimic. Its our minds too. The way their skin changes to match the visible spectrum of their surroundings, so too, do their actions and outlooks contort to any psyche they encounter.
A world outlook which we brought onto them, with our weapons and our settler mindset. They only show us what we are at our best.
Apple Podcasts5Gherkin RickUnited States4 years ago - A surreal podcast that demands your attention
This podcast is definitely worth checking out
Apple Podcasts5AbstractlimeCanada4 years ago Listening to this show is truly an experience. It's absolutely surreal, a pocket of weird and wonderful that I do not understand but fully adore. The Great Chameleon War is doing something new with the audio drama medium and I'm here for it. The narration is soothing, the sound design is intricate, the writing is masterful, and thins tie together in expected ways. It's great!
