“Wow. Started with The Michigan Plot and haven’t been able to stop. Love the different narrators with special interest in each series. All those scam stories you’ve caught a whiff of but never really thought about other than heeding a warning, this will blow your mind about the depths and...”Read full review »

“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...”Read full review »

“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.”

“It’s unconscionable to excuse the behavior of these violent anti-Americans. The description of their beliefs, the ways they live, and their disgusting entitlement are things a healthy society should condemn.”

“I can understand calling out the FBI for overly orchestrating the bust but, then again, what would you prefer them to do? Sit back while a bunch of heavily armed, stoner, wannabe patriots arm up and pursue some sort of vigilante Justice? Sorry, but when you start threatening the rest of society...”Read full review »

“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...”Read full review »

“These could be condensed into half the length but for the reporter’s annoying judgemental comments about the cases. I had to stop listening half way through the second series (heard season 7, then 6).
Better stuff out there, like The Spy Who…”

“It’s wild to me that these people complain about the country falling apart due to BLM protest but when they try and destroy democracy at the capital on Jan 6th that’s just them being patriots. Lock all these racist treasonous a**holes up. And the hosts have so much sympathy for them. I have none....”Read full review »

“It’s sad that the lives of these guys were destroyed by the FBI… the things they said were not appropriate by any means, but it’s clear the FBI orchestrated this whole thing and all you need to do is listen to the tapes to come to that conclusion. Think about all the other lives that the FBI or...”Read full review »

I am no gun nut, not at ALL conservative, and as I listened to the show I just thought that...”Read full review »

“These hosts should work for mainline news services. They give a report, based on facts, showing all sides of the story. How refreshing not to have polarized political spin. It’s nice to know how and why characters take action and not whether there is an “R” or “D” behind the person’s name.”

“I enjoy Chameleon very much and will listen to future series, but this one’s a no-go for me. I’m pretty much fed up with politics and militia stuff in general but the final deal breaker for me here, and I know it’s petty, is that Jessica Garrison REALLY should blow her nose…”

“I would rather wait longer for a podcast episode to be released than have to listen to the host in season 7 narrate with a stuffed nose. It sounds unprofessional and makes my skin crawl listening to it through my headphones. Did no one on the production/editing team think this was a bad idea?”
