Chameleon: Dr. Miracle
A wellness center some called Miracle Ranch, nestled in the scenic mountains of Southern California, promised a luxurious escape and a path to wellness through clean, alkaline living. Its leader, Dr. Robert O. Young, attracted wealthy clientele with his “groundbreaking” health protocols and friendly, family-man persona. But beneath the serene surface, Miracle Ranch harbored a dark secret. The people who stayed there didn’t get better; they got worse.
Through legal documents and candid interviews with former patients and employees, law enforcement officials, and affected family members, this series unravels the chilling true story of one man who convinced scores of people that cancer is not a cell but an “acidic, poisonous liquid,” and how his popular “alkaline diet” turned deadly.

The Tapes, from Radioactive: The Karen Silkwood Mystery
Sharing an episode of the new podcast Radioactive: The Karen Silkwood Mystery. It details the
death of a 28-year-old whistleblower which, 50 years later, continues to haunt Oklahoma and
the nation. The young plutonium plant worker died in a fatal crash while driving to meet a
reporter with The New York Times. She’d agreed to deliver sensitive documents that were never
found. Two reporters who covered the story in 1974 have spent years trying to piece together
what many in Oklahoma speculate: Karen Silkwood may have died for what she knew. Now,
hear newly-discovered investigative tapes, deathbed revelations and long-awaited interviews
reexamining what happened that night. Fifty years later, the story still resonates: nuclear
secrets, threats to the powerful, and why the truth stubbornly refuses to stay buried.

Introducing Season Seven of Chameleon: The Michigan Plot
In the fall of 2020, 14 men were arrested across three states in a series of FBI raids that shocked the nation. The government alleged that these men conspired to kidnap, and possibly even kill, the sitting governor of Michigan, Gretchen Whitmer. But is that really what happened?
On season 7 of Chameleon, we’ll explore that notorious plot to kidnap governor Whitmer from its inception by taking listeners on an unprecedented journey inside the investigation. Through hundreds of hours of wire recordings that have never been heard by the public, you’ll ride along in the pocket of an FBI informant posing as a militia member, as he infiltrates an anti-government group that seems dangerous. But are they?
Was the plot to kidnap governor Whitmer the sophisticated plan the government said it was, or just the stoned fantasies of a group of down-on-their-luck gun nuts? Did the FBI stop a dangerous plot in motion…or did it help to create it?
From Campside Media and Sony Music Entertainment, this is Season 7 of Chameleon: The Michigan Plot.

Introducing Season Five of Chameleon: Dr. Dante
Dr. Ronald Dante is a talented hypnotist (and not an actual doctor) whose mind-bending schemes span 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. Host Sam 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.
