    DWTBA! Episode 3

    This month we explore another important aspect of Every Brother Matters – what happens when someone joins Freemasonry and things just don’t seem to gel. We are joined by Durham Lead on Membership John Henry and new Master Mason Peter Irvine, who shares his own experience of finding that his first lodge wasn’t the right fit and how finding a different lodge transformed his Masonic journey. The discussion explores belonging, lodge culture, membership retention, and why Every Brother Matters is about recognising that one size doesn’t fit all. As always, there’s a mix of serious conversation, practical insights, laughter and banter as we explore Freemasonry in Durham in 2026.

    DWTBA! Episode 1

    Episode 1 introduces the new Durham Freemasons podcast and asks a simple question: where do we go from here? The hosts reflect on recent activity across the Province, including charitable projects, lodge initiatives and the growing momentum behind the message “Don’t Wait To Be Asked.” The discussion explores how small acts of initiative and awareness can strengthen lodge culture and encourage greater participation. It also looks ahead to the coming months, outlining the themes the podcast will explore, including belonging, confidence, charity and supporting one another. The episode concludes by introducing the forthcoming “Every Brother Matters” campaign, which will be explored in more depth in the next episode.
