| 6/24/26 | ![]() The Chameleon: An Imposter in the Family | A 13-year-old boy walks home from a basketball court in San Antonio and vanishes. Three years later, his family flies across the world to bring him home from Spain. There's just one problem. The young man they pick up isn't their son. He isn't even American. He's a 23-year-old Frenchman with brown eyes, dark hair, and an accent you could spot from across a room. And somehow, for nearly five months, nobody in that family said a word. This is the story of Frédéric Bourdin, the impostor the world came to call the Chameleon, and the missing boy whose name he wore like a coat.

| 6/17/26 | ![]() Three Knocks: An Atlantic Ghost Story | Forerunners that knock before a death. A fish that spoke the language of the dead. A phantom ship still burning on the same stretch of water two hundred years on. And a woman who walks a beach made of bones. These are the ghost stories of Canada's Atlantic coast, where the sea takes what it wants and sometimes sends it back. SHOW NOTES 🖤 FOLLOW PRETTY WICKED New episodes every Wednesday.
