July 06, 2021 Maelstrom Episode 13: End of the Beginning
The Catfish Crew ready themselves for the final journey to the lair of the Mind Flayer. Fuifui speaks to an ancestor, Caliban and Perseus get very friendly with a tailor, and Starlight starts a group fund.
Notes: Due to a scheduling conflict, Elliot (Ezekiel) was unable to record. We also decided not to monetize this episode due to its shorter length and epilogue feel.

July 04, 2021 Maelstrom Summer Schedule Announcement
Hey everybody! Jackson here.
Making a quick announcement regarding Maelstrom and our upcoming schedule. We will be taking a break for July. As I am moving from state to state, and I will not have access to my recording equipment. Our last two episodes, 12 and 13 will be released on a shorter schedule. With 12 being released on Sunday, and 13 released on Tuesday of this week, as I leave on the 8th.
As for August, due to a few of our performers having scheduling conflicts, we will be unable to record Maelstrom. However, not to fear, for we will still be recording Maelstrom content. Today we are proud to announce our new Mini Campaign. The Quest for Dags! In which our little kobold that could, tries to find his body and his friends, with some help from an all-new cast of characters. This underwater mini arc will cover the month of August, and we will return to Maelstrom in early September.
We thank you for your support and check out our discord to stay in touch. Many thanks, and may the wind be ever at your sails…
