Smooth Criminal: Gregor MacGregor, Scottish soldier, con man and Cazique of Poyais
Well folks its been awhile... A long while but... Keith and Jon are back again. We've been in the gym training. And i don't feel that it is to cocky to say that we are still the heavyweight champions of podcasting. We are and will always remain your somewhat reliable source of information, for most things.
And as we start this new season of SHAT, we are hitting on the history end of things. We are here in our research facility in the Scottish Highlands today as we discuss one of if not the grand Cazique of the long con, Gregor MacGregor. Army officer, General in the South American revolution under Simon Bolivar, creator of a fake country named Poyais and mass murderer.
So join in, enjoy and be on the lookout as Keith and I release more beautiful podcasts to caress your earholes with all sorts of wondrous knowledge and humor. Thanks for listening.

Murder was the case: Eadweard Muybridge, The Zoopraxiscope and motion picture history.
Greeting to all you Shatters!
Can you believe it, Stanky "Jon" Jankowitz and Nucky "Keith" C. are back in the saddle again. The band is back together for our first reunion tour.
And today we are coming to you live from the Shat International Film Studio and Equestrian Center with a brand new episode about the creative hooligan, technological guru, and murderer, Eadweard Muybridge.
This guy was a seminal figure in early motion picture technology. He was a renowned photographer who worked with railroad magnate Leland Stanford to answer the question; is a horse ever completely aloft as it gallops. In the process, he invented the zoopraxiscope and helped set pictures in motion! Oh... and he also happened to murder his 21yo wife's lover! So hop on this wild, galloping podcast with us; we hope you enjoy the ride.

Deja Vu: And I feel, like i've been here before
Keith and Jon here,
In the SHAT brain science laboratory and psychedelic gift shop with a fabulous new podcast for you. I know it feels like we’ve done this one before but we really haven’t. It’s just Deja Vu, all over again. We are not talking about the amazing CSN&Y album here but that strange feeling...
That wild, slightly uncomfortable feeling of having been here, having done this before. Join us today as Keith and I dive into the scientific and spiritual aspects of this really odd, mysterious experience. And as always thanks for spending your time listening to our humble, little podcast! Grace and Peace.
