Masonic Lite Podcast

Tonight on Episode 046, join Pete, Jason, Jack, and guest host Justin (because Larry's out sick) while our minds explode with information overload from our special guest, Symbologist and author, Michelle Snyder. Our brains are still numb, so we stole her bio and copied it below. "Michelle is a professor of mythology and symbolism, fairy tale author, blogger, and geek. She earned her post-graduate degree at the University of Wales, Lampeter and has been teaching art and visual language to students of all ages for 35 years. Her artwork, inspired by her love of symbolism, has appeared in galleries from Massachusetts to California. Michelle is co-owner of White Knight Studio with her husband Jay." We had such a blast talking to Michelle that our show ran long, we're sorry. You can find more information about her, and where to purchase her publications, at the links below: Amazon Book Store: https://www.amazon.com/Michelle-Snyder/e/B004ZOHKFA/ref=dp_byline_cont_book_1 White Knight Studio https://whiteknightst

After a string of offsite recordings, your fantastic four Masonic Lite co-hosts are back in Pete's basement, err... Monarch Studios! No guest, no topic, just some good old MLP banter. Pete and Larry did go to a Robert Burns supper which recap here. Other than that, we've got some news and the always educational Obscura Corpora with Seth Anthony!

Welcome to 2018 Masonic Lite listeners. Today Pete, Jason, Jack, Jeff, and a cameo from Larry on his death bed are at the Goose and Gridiron Breakfast at the Movable Feast in Mountville with Bryan L. Hill, and the new DDGM of the First Masonic District, Ronald B. Carson. Our first guest, Bryan, is beyond a big-wig in the York Rite, and Jason reads his entire Masonic Resume, all two pages and 3 minutes of it! Bryan tells us some stories from his career professionally and within the craft. Ronald B. Carson, new District Deputy Grand Master stops by and shares some insights to the next few years in PA Masonry in general and our District in particular as our a New Grand Master was installed recently as well as our new DDGM. Corpora Obscurum in in full effect with Seth Anthony and in typical fashion, Jeff and Larry have their normal jabs, but we think Jeff wins! And just when you thought Larry's voice couldn't get any worse.... well listen on listeners! Lastly, we have some great music from YOUTHFOOL, whose bandma

Well folks, this wraps up another year of Masonic Lite Podcast. Due to our Holiday Schedules, we're recording at the Goose and Gridiron Breakfast Society at The Moveable Feast in Mountville PA. Jack is under the weather so Larry's favorite antagonist, Bro. Jeff Moyer fills in again. Even though this is a Holiday show, Larry's grumpy. We reminisce about the highlights of our 2017 Masonic life in general, Masonic Lite in particular, and Moyer harasses Larry a bunch. Thank you to all "50k listeners in 62 countries" as Larry likes to claim! We know there's really only a couple of you. Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year, and everything in between. We'll be on break until January 15th, 2018. - MLP Signing off for 2017.

Keeping with the Scottish Rite theme, this episode we go very local and go on location at our neighbor's "Holiday Happenings" event in the Valley of Reading PA. Pete, Larry and Jason spend some time with our host Bro Scott Helm and other dignitaries from the Valley, including Bro. Jeff Moyer, 32.125° who lined up as many interviews as he could.

Join us this week for a hodge-podge of a show. Pete and Larry tried to do the show on the sly without Jason and Jack, but we found out so we all rerecorded. Turns out we were too grumpy even by our own standards and scrapped it. Then we changed our tune when we read "The Path Forward" survey from the Scottish Rite, NMJ, and recorded our initial thoughts... AND THEN, we had an opportunity to speak directly to the source: David A. Glattly, the recently installed Sovereign Grand Commander of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. So in short, we ditched most of this weeks ramblings to accommodate the Commander and Michael Russel, the VP of Charity and Development of the Rite, so we could hear it straight from the horses mouth. We couldn't be more thrilled, actually! See below for all the videos and web sites mentioned in this episode, including a local program in the 1st Masonic District in PA: The Cornerstone Group.

Join us for Episode 40! How the heck did that happen? Tonight MLP hosts Jack, Larry, Pete and Jason have no guest. Larry thought it should be an open forum, or "open mic" night. Which of course means he wanted to talk about fundraising, as usual. Catch up with the boys after a 5 Monday month where we skipped a week, and hear the usual suspects and segments like Masonic News with Jack, Corpora Obscurum with Seth Anthony, and Jeff Moyer's Magical Mentoring Mystery Minute.

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/

What should you do with the old minutes! Put them in the basement, lock them in a safe, feed them to the hounds?

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. Please excuse the quality of this interview while Pete's dobermonsters are slaughtering the mail man upstairs and Nicholas is phoning in from his travels for his usual vocations. If you're interested in attending Castle Island meeting, you can email Nicholas Laine at: burlingtonlodgewm@gmail.com

Welcome to Episode 32! Today we have an impromptu conversation about appendant bodies, play a game, and hear from Seth Anthony and Corpora Obscurum. It's been a busy few weeks ramping up to the summer break. We hope you, enjoy 32.

Join your hosts Pete, Larry, Jack, and Jason with a show full of the usual banter and tom foolery. Our good friend and Brother Seth Anthony joins us for a not so high tech sounding phone conversation about Masonic Conspiracies, and follows up with his Corpora Obscurum about the Odd Fellows. 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

Join your regular hosts for their 30th episode and the launch of a new segment (a very poor launch mind you) called "Crib Notes", Jack and Larry's book review segment. As per the norm enjoy the "Fake News" with Jack, Obscura Corpora with Seth Anthony, and all the regular MLP banter. Show notes? Who needs show notes? But if you want to read "Pillars of the Earth" as mentioned in the show, you can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Pillars-Earth-Novel-Kingsbridge/dp/0451166892

The MLP boys are all over the place this week. Pete and Larry had to record in a PT Cruiser recapping a Grotto filled week, Jason is no where to be found, Jack phones in a report on the lodge in Gettysburg PA, and we have a great outdoors interview with Azim Grotto's Dominic Falcone... and a lawnmower!

Join the entire team, Pete, Larry, Jason and "Sometimes" Jack for MLP's episode 27, where we dive into a not so scholarly discussion on Knights Templar and one popular belief that Freemasons are their direct decedents. Also tune in for another episode of Corpus Obscurum from Brother Seth Anthony, and Brother on the Street R.C. McCorvey chats with Bro. Noel Wenrich, Past Master of Lodge 43 and President of the local Widow's Sons chapter, about a Vietnam era wartime helicopter restoration project. You can find more about Bro. Noel's project, Liberty War Bird, here: https://www.facebook.com/LibertyWarBird/
