Hello! This episode was to feature a conversation with the Imperial Potentate, so when circumstances caused us to reschedule, we rose to the challenge and failed to book a guest.

Also, we hear Unlocking Symbols with Symbologist Michelle Snyder, The Lodge Business Brief with Bro. Jim Stephens, The Masonic News, and The Secretary's Tips from the Crypt. We wrap up with the upcoming Masonic schedule followed by chickens. Enjoy!
