Chameleon: Dr. Miracle - Podcast Rankings and reviews

It’s refreshingly “unboring” but you have to be able to look past a couple of negatives. One, the main character Adam and his buddies(?) are painfully dense, and their tough act is really annoying and pitiful at times. They try to compensate for their limited vocabulary by swearing a lot and sound like unsupervised middle schoolers on the playground. Secondly, and I know it’s petty, but one of the hosts had such severe congestion that it’s actually pretty distracting and just kind of unnecessary. All in all though, great listen.

Great podcast and reporting. After hearing the tapes, the only thing I’m left with is how this society failed these men. It’s hard to see how they would NOT have ended up in jail given the idiocy, lack of mental health and, frankly, loneliness on display. What the FBI did looks and sounded like entrapment to me. And also, I think these men were a danger to themselves and potentially others with the right opportunity and means. I guess I really am a bleeding heart because I think they really needed therapy and real friendship *not* centered around violence and lies. Instead they got prison.

One of the best podcasts that does a season long story, typically about criminals but as the theme says, it’s really anyone with a story about deception. Each season may have a different journalist, but all are very well researched and produced.

I LOVE THIS PODCAST …. Have no idea how I found this but I’m doing season by season and haven’t listened to a single other podcast in WEEKS. I appreciate the writing … he has great descriptions and phrasing

I enjoyed the first season but had to bail halfway through season two. Trevor Aaronson’s stilted narration is too much to endure. I’m really surprised that not one person involved in the production of this season caught on to the…well…repetition of forced pauses. In trying to sound…well…conversational, it came off as…well…forced. Is this annoying to read? Well…you’re not going to like listening to it either.
