    INTRODUCING... Chameleon: The Weekly

    Today we are bringing you stories from a slightly different side of true crime: stories about people who live by deception. Individuals who don't just tell lies but become someone else entirely. 

    From Audiochuck and Campside Media, this is Chameleon. Each week, host and journalist Josh Dean unravels a new case that pushes the limits of human deception. Stories of imposters, shapeshifters, and master con artists who have turned illusion into a way of life.

    The first episode dives into the unbelievable story of Rafaello Follieri, the charming con artist who fooled everyone from Hollywood to high society. He swept a famous actress off her feet, claimed ties to powerful politicians, and convinced investors he was on a mission to save the Catholic Church’s finances.

    Chameleon is a psychological deep dive into the human capacity for deceit, and it will make you question how well we really know the people around us. Find episode two, "The Kid Who Couldn't Stop Playing Cop," wherever you listen to podcasts. https://chameleon.simplecast.com/
