“pretty great though this family borders between being interesting and insightful and insufferable. the family's pro-conspiracy approach impacted the children deeply. i went to roan’s page where he posts anti-vax stuff. endless life is silly. they let fear dictate their lives. its not cute. i...”Read full review »

“An interesting story and really highlights how parents who are, shall we say, not the brightest bulbs in the box, can impact their children in such negative ways. It didn’t need as many episodes though. It felt a bit stretched out.”

“Intruiging story, very fascinating and captivating. I like the way it’s told in two parts.
Excellent podcast host. I wish I could listen to it for the first time again.”

Because I don’t have to be objective- those parents have manifested these beliefs and behaviors and have (since they are so religious and should understand this concept) reaped what they sowed by instilling distrust...”Read full review »

“I hate when a narrator tells me everything to think. The parts 1-4 were captivating and I told my friend to listen. Then after that I’m just like shut up! I quit.”

“This story was heart wrenching. Thank you for getting Kyle and Roen on tape. When you hear their side of the story, you can see the why of what they did. Two boys doing what they thought they needed to do. Incredible reporting, and beautifully put together.”

“The first half of the story is worth listening. The boys stories told through the town was compelling. The story told from the families side was over the top absurd. The mother is a looney tune. The brothers giggle about the story like little kids remembering a night they camped out in the...”Read full review »

“Not what I expected from a podcast under “true crime”, but very well received! You can get a little burnt out on the murder mystery podcasts, so it was refreshing to hear a mystery with many twists and turns but with a lighthearted ending about community. Well done!”

Going from part 1 to part 2 is such a lesson in things not always being as they seem in ways you would never expect. Really great podcast. Total...”Read full review »

“It’s a great story, but Sam overdoes it a bit, pointing as much or more to his own delivery as to the story itself. That’s not just annoying from a social perspective; it’s also really hard on the ears! Not EVERY sentence should be “Whoah….. heavy…””

“Just finished listening to Wild Boys (Season 3 of Chameleon” and am in tears. What a gripping, twisty tale!

Sam Mullins is such an insightful...”Read full review »

“Great story.Sadly the reporter of this story tends to show his communistic leanings which spoils it just a tad. A lot of so-called conspiracies have shown to be the actual truth. But the reporter as with the majority of MSM are communists.”
