  • I love these guys (only one nitpick)

    I’ve listened to these guys from the beginning. I love the casualness of the entire show. I enjoy the banter and their friendships with each other. I only have one nitpick…one the guys gets awfully dogmatic about their view of symbolism, generally, and dogmatic about their interpretation of any particular symbolism. Contrary to popular belief, not all young Masons are looking for deeper meaning, but rather fellowship, fraternity, and wisdom from their elders. Sometimes there is no deeper meaning... more

  • Outstanding And Informative for both Masons and Non-Masons

    I have listened to every episode at least once, and many episodes several times. Episode number 136 was particularly interesting to me.

    I have only been a Mason for a little over three years and have incorporated a lot of what has been presented into my personal Masonic journey.

    Further, as my way of saying “thank you” I have signed up as a Master Producer-level Patreon. It’s a small amount of money that I know will help keep this show going

  • Friends making us better

    I stumbled upon this podcast and am very grateful for it. Freemasonry has so many facets to it, historical, mystical but the thing that has kept me here for almost 30 years has been the friendships and the communal desire to make us all better men. I was reminded of this when during a recent interview with a well known Masonic author they “called him in” (rather than out) for something that could have been construed as being divisive. A super show.

  • The Human Side of Freemasonry

    Some people construe the secrecy of our craft as something sinister. This podcast sheds light on the inherently human side of Freemasonry. This is a whimsical, yet informative, satirical yet serious, and humorous yet helpful look at our craft. Here brothers of the craft talk life and freemasonry without violating their obligations to the craft and maintaining fidelity to it. It is a well balanced approach and a podcast well worth listening to. For any non Masons listening, yes, you too can enjoy... more
