Masonic Lite Podcast

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 in a particular thing. It is what it is, and that is ok. Forcing it is folly, and leads to poor interpretive method. Sometimes there is nothing to be seen in the spaces between letters and lines of a paragraph. I love that this show and group of brothers has given us all a respite from the dogmatic and snobby world of Masonic, pretentious esotericism…except when they don’t. That sounded like a negative review with a 5 star rating, it isn’t. These guys are amazing. I listen faithfully to what feel like my own friends. Keep it up, except for the random symbolic dogma pieces that one of the beloved hosts sometimes goes on.

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

I have been listening for over a year and even signed up on Patreon because it is a worthwhile podcast

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.
