The latest season of the wildly popular con-themed podcast Chameleon is back! This new season called “Wild Boys” covers the 2003 International news story where two half-starved young boys, known as the “Bush Boys” turned up in a small Canadian town and tell an incredible story where they claimed to be raised in the British Columbia wilderness, and this was their first-ever contact with society — they’d never seen a TV, gone to school, or registered for IDs.
…There was just one problem: not a word the boys said was true. Nearly 20 years later, award-winning comedian and journalist Sam Mullins uncovers the bizarre true story of the strangers who turned his hometown upside-down. It’s a psychological drama you can’t miss with never-before-heard interviews and audio from the boys and their families.
