Campside Media and Sony Music Entertainment today premiered Chameleon: Dr. Dante, the newest season of the con-themed franchise podcast series “Chameleon.” Subscribers to The Binge can listen to all episodes, all at once today.
Season five of the series is hosted by journalist Sam Mullins, who returns to the Chameleon franchise from season three Wild Boys. Chameleon: Dr Dante follows Dr. Ronald Dante, a prodigiously talented hypnotist (and not an actual doctor) whose mind-bending schemes spanned decades. Dante worked the smoke-filled nightclubs of 1960s Hollywood and rode the self-help craze of the 1980s and 90s, hypnotizing women out of their fortunes, taking out hits on his rivals and opening up one of the biggest fake universities in history. Mullins tracks Dante through yacht clubs, prison cells, trailer parks and theme parks to uncover the unbelievable true story of the greatest con man you’ve never heard of.
