This week on the Eternally Nerd Podcast, Jason flies solo and steers the ship through a packed, colorful episode that opens with a heartfelt tribute to the late Sal Buscema, celebrating the unmistakable dynamism he brought to Marvel's golden years. He shares a listener letter that has him genuinely energized, then digs into the unfolding shareholder lawsuit against Hasbro over Magic: The Gathering, unpacking what it could mean for the game's future and the community that loves it. Trivia night gets its own dramatic post‑mortem as Jason explains how the once‑beloved weekly ritual has taken a turn, before he recounts his latest Battletech League match, complete with tactical gambles, mech mayhem, and the kind of storytelling Josh would've heckled if he were here. The episode winds down with a charming look at the quirks of grocery shopping in France, where even picking out cheese becomes an adventure. Eternally Nerd can be streamed on major platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Audible.
