Where are those summaries located?

I've got all of them lying around. I'll just drop them here for now:
+ Show Spoiler [Iris Episodes 1-15] +
6/9/2015 - Episode 15: "Fair Fordran" - The party discovers more of the foulness that besmirches Lower Fordran in their travels. Roger tells a story of a Whisperer to a rapt crowd. Gimble seeks out a rebel and promises to return. Amak'thos protects out of anger while Roam does so for the sake of compassion. Rex pontificates on having and not having. Eventually, their business concluded, the party moves to the Lakeland road as they head toward the magical academy at Starspell.
6/2/2015 - Episode 14: "The Joy of Mendrilassa and the Road to Starspell" - After discovering the source of the Weeping Wanderer's corruption, the adventurers challenge The Nail of the Esgogroth. It's a tough fight, but the party continues forward, gaining the love of Mendrilassa and some new magical (and RP-friendly) items. Afterward, they decide to proceed toward Starspell through Fordran, but soon find that Fordran is not the lovely place it appears to be....
5/26/2015 - Episode 13: "Stacks of Sadness Redux" - Our heroes continue to tread the strange innards of the Weeping Wanderer, discovering (somewhat) dreadful villains and even a jar of spectral mist. Then they leave the normal modes of combat to trade memories with solemn faces, venture alone down foreboding trails, and discover the best way to move past what has been broken. At the end of the journey, the source of the corruption is revealed, but can they stand against that which brings even gods low?
5/4/2015 - Episode 12: "Stacks of Sadness" - The party comes back from the brink of disaster and danger with a story that leads to stares and silence. Adventuring on once again is difficult after that, but the party presses on to Mendrilassa. There they find a stagnant god and a town of weeping mortals. Only within the spirit's black-rimmed wounds can the answers be found...
4/28/2015 - Episode 11: "Book of Revelations" - A divided and distrustful party comes (mostly) together for the promise of secrets revealed. While most are initially unswayed, events comes to a head as the party's outlier takes some dramatic action. With swords drawn and shadows gathering, the darkness facing the heroes is stronger than ever. Can they overcome or will one leave their ranks forever?
4/21/2015 - Episode 10: "Weary Travelers and Wary Secrets" - The adventurers wander through lands blighted by the power of the gods, but mostly just plain old roads. They stay split for a while, but eventually Amak'thos and the rest join up again in Esmeralda. There they hear of a village gone silent and of a bureaucratic reward for their help. They also hear secrets told by a witch, secrets fraught with darkness and anger. Can our party survive such deadly secrets? Only the adventure can tell!
4/7/2015 - Episode 9: "The Road to the North or SPLITTING THE PARTY" - The Everroad is many things, but uneventful is not one of them. When a goblin warband ambushes the Everroad's caravans as well as our heroes, it's up to SOME of them to retrieve the merchants' goods (theoretically out of the goodness of their hearts). However, others find less satisfaction in tracking down such paltry goods, instead finding a young thief and the powerful knights pursuing her.
3/31/2015 - Episode 8: "SHOPPING (and assassins)!!!!!!!!!!" - PART 1 and PART 2 - With the dungeon cleared, the party does what all parties do: GO SHOPPING IN TOWN!!!!! Of course, shopping leads to nights at the tavern, and with a drink named "Mountain River", who knows what might happen? Yet even debauchery must come to an end as the group begins their travel north. Only clockwork beetles and snipers in white and gold stand between them and their next destinations!
3/24/2015 - Episode 7: "The Caverns of Kilkaerdun (Pt. 3) or Rock Gods and Fear Boners" - The party awakens in the barracks they plundered then heads off to find the cavern's resident god. After a diversion with some obviously-poisonous gas, the adventurers take up blade, bow, and book against the corrupt divinity in a (level 3) battle for the ages!
3/17/2015 - Episode 6: "The Caverns of Kilkaerdun (Pt. 2) or CREEEEEEPY FINGERS" - The adventurers continue their delving and discovery in the caverns of the Spear Shale God, finding wonders and terrors alike. Monsters of magma, godly guardsmen, and tainted troglodytes challenged our heroes, but rewards (and stranger fare) can be found if you continue your journey to its bitter (and possibly comfortable) end!
3/3/2015 - Episode 5: "The Caverns of Kilkaerdun (Part 1) or Roger Pontare, Goo-Puncher" - PART 1 and PART 2 - The adventurers dive into the Caverns of Kilkaerdun, starting with a horde of vengeful Stoneshatter Slugs. Further in, the party encounters strange gray lights, patrolling stone soldiers, some strange odors, and enough sharp rock walls to last a lifetime. Yet there are always benefits to dungeon-delving...
2/24/2015 - Episode 4: "Seeking the Stone or Gimble Reads a Book (Offscreen)" - Gimble returns from his errand in Southreach and the party prepares a journey to Voldarr, the Stonemason's Keep. There they learn of a missing deity who lives deep within the Caverns of Kilkaerdun, one who might be able to tell them where the Esgogroth's stone amulets originated. In the caves they encounter Shale Godlings and acid-spewing slugs... and that's only the first room!
2/17/2015 - "Episode 3: Hunters and Hunted" - After the party is attacked in the street, they learn their hunters came from the Temple of Ultius, God of Vengeance. Rex's sordid past with the god comes to light and the adventurers infiltrate (?) the Undercroft of Southreach's Temple to the Vengeful One. Also, the GM rolls terribly and the party acquires some long deserved spoils.
2/10/2015 - "Episode 2: The City Deals Another Hand" - The city deals a strange hand indeed... unplanned for adventurers or DM! The party meets a wizard sympathetic to their battles and Roger takes the stage in one of Southreach's most famous establishments. But what danger awaits when they step out to the darkened streets?
2/3/2014 - Episode 1: "A Fellow Dies in Southreach", Part 1 and Part 2 - In the first episode of the Chronicles of Iris, our adventures meet each other under significant duress, receive a mission from a shady source, and find themselves in the lair of some sinister adversaries.
