On November 14th, Marc with a C has a new album coming out, appropriately titled Steamed Hams. Definitely a great time to have Marc on the Nerd Music Meltdown one final time.

We not only talk about the new album, but also the importance of Pride Month, the end of The Geek Easy, focusing on family, the homogenization of "nerd media," and Marc's documentary. Even some anime talk!

You can preorder Steamed Hams at marcwithac.bandcamp.com. You can also follow Marc with a C at linktr.ee/marcwithac.
