The latest season of the wildly popular con-themed podcast Chameleon takes place in the summer of 2003 when two half-starved young men turned up in a small Canadian town telling an incredible story. They?d been 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.
