In this very special episode of the SNES podcast, Joe and I review a book that recently came out that does feature a SNES in it's twisted saga so we felt we could make a exception to our usual game policy. ;)  "Smoke and Mirrors" is a digital (and soon to be physical) book written by Mike James, about the history of one of the most infamous retro gaming scams of our time -- the Retro VGS/Coleco Chameleon and it's creator Mike Kennedy.  We discuss the book in length and my own personal experiences with Mr. Kennedy and the saga as it happened, and weigh in with our thoughts on if this is worth buying or not. (Short answer: yes!)  Any questions, comments, etc can be left on our FB page or e-mailed to thesnespodcast@yahoo.com and as always thanks for your support!  If you wish to buy the book you may do so at https://www.colecochameleon.org/store.php
