Masonic Lite Podcast

Episode 39: The show must go on. This show, Pete and Jack were out of town, so Larry and Jason took to the streets, and were guest speakers at Zembo Shrine. We tricked them into recording our intro and outro with us. The rest of the show however; in a series of untimely events and technically difficulties, we've managed to scrap this gem together. Our original scheduled online guest was unable to attend do to some travel delays. Good news too, because it was our first foray into a Google Hangouts only recording. So we did what any good Masonic Podcast would do when doing their first hangouts recording, hailing one of the Masonic podcasting gurus: Jason Richards, of the famed Masonic Roundtable. Luckily he was a good sport. We could only salvage a few minutes for you... Hopefully we haven't scared him back for good. This shows short, but we're going for quality of quantity here folks!

Join us this week as our list of guests gets better and better. Tonight we have Mark Tabbert, Director of Collections at George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association and author of several poplar Masonic titles. We cover topics from George Washington of course, Traditional Observance, technology in the craft, the eras of Freemasony, and more. We trust you'll be as blown away from Mark's acumen and opinions of the craft as we were! Find Mark's publications, and contact information at The George Washington Masonic National Museum by visiting: https://gwmemorial.org/

Folks, we've been on vacation, give us a break! Recorded at the same time as Episode 33, we talk about putting the Fun in Fundraising... or the not so FUNdraising as grumpy Uncle Larry would say. We hope your summer has been awesome and hopefully we'll see you near a dunk tank sometime soon!

Join your hosts for a conversation with the Worshipful Master of Castle Island Virtual Lodge No. 190, Nicholas Laine.

Join your hosts Pete, Larry, Jack, and Jason with a show full of the usual banter and tom foolery.

Pete wants to play a game, and Crib Notes reviews Rev. Dr. Bro. Chris Rodkey's adult coloring book "Coloring Lent". https://www.amazon.com/Coloring-Lent-Adult-Journey-Resurrection/dp/0827205473/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497868773&sr=8-1&keywords=coloring+lent

Tonight, Larry stumbles through an interview with Michala, the founder of: www.TheMasonsLady.com, who offers a significant others perspective of what to expect when your partner is a Mason, as well as a number of thought provoking topics including equality in the craft, and at times lack there of. In an effort to keep it lowbrow, Pete and Jason give their perspective of how not so great of and interviewer Larry is... Michala, on the other hand is a great guest. #BlameLarry

After a long hiatus and some shenanigans, we're back with a new and improved episode 24... "B". Join us for a brief discussion about "just because a Mason said it, doesn't make it Masonic", along with our regular segments, and picking on Larry. Thank you for your patience MLP fans!

.... And we're back! We hope you all had a great Holiday! We're back at Larry's dining room table with Larry of course, Pete, Jack and Jason while Monarch Studios is moving from the add-on garage to the basement and while Larry's not allowed out of the house as his shoulder continues to heal. We're starting off the new year talking about Mentors and asking: "What the heck can we do to get these new guys back to lodge?" Sit back, and enjoy the show. We sound a little different thanks to the mobile rig, but that's OK right?!

Join us for this very special episode where the MASONIC LITE and BROUGHT TO LIGHT podcasts join forces for a combined Holiday show. Hosts Pete, Jack, Larry, and Jason compare notes with our friends in Australia, Jack, Steve, and Dave, on a wide range of topics... but not much Freemasonry. Over the last year both shows hosts' have become fast friends and this show is the culmination of several months planning. This show is not for the faint of heart, so buckle up, grab an eggnog (non alcoholic of course), and listen away! You can find the BROUGHT TO LIGHT podcast and Jack Aquilina's Blue Lounge Social Club here: http://podcast.blueloungesocial.com/ An unedited version of the live stream is available here (even though Pete says our faces are better seen on radio): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0xNh7_Is9w Masonic Lite will be on Holiday Break and we look forward to abusing your eardrum January 16 in the new year!
