Episode 215: Single Player Cave

Episode 215: Single Player Cave

Once upon a midnight dreary, In the realm of Eorzea, weary, Two hosts of Maelstrom Radio, Did discuss with voices low. Flattus and Shyn, a curious pair, With knowledge vast, beyond compare, Their voices like a mournful song, Echoing through the night so long. In each episode, they weave a tale, Of adventures grand and quests so frail, With wit and humor, they do impart, The wonders of this gaming art. Their passion for Final Fantasy XIV, Like the Raven’s call, forever fixed, In the hearts of those who listen well, To the tales they have to tell. And so, as the night wears on, The hosts bid their listeners gone, To dream of worlds both far and near, Until the next episode draws near. Quoth the Maelstrom Radio, “Listen here!” We’d love your feedback so reach out on Twitter, on Discord, or send us an email at show@maelstromradio.com and let us know what you’d like us to chat about or see us play!

Episode 139: Peter and Quinton in the Multiverse of Bad Chess

Episode 139: Peter and Quinton in the Multiverse of Bad Chess

Hi. Producer Susan here. This year Maelstrom Radio has been experimenting with new ways to present our podcast to you. Sometimes we chat with a friend for an interview, sometimes we play a gameshow-style game, sometimes we talk about random things while playing a video game, sometimes we poorly voice act a visual novel. We like to switch it up. This episode is where something we try doesn’t quite work... During this episode, Peter and Quinton play 5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel. It’s not great for an audio version... I’m not sure it even works for a video version. That being said, there are nuggets of fun and humor that I hope you listen through to discover! We probably won’t revisit 5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel but we will keep trying new and different ways to bring our podcast to you! We’d love your feedback so be sure to reach out on Twitter, on Discord, or send us an email at show@maelstromradio.com and let us know what you want us to play or chat about!
