Episode 216: Buuz and Cats and Buuz and Cats

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!
