Join your hosts Pete, Larry, Jack, and Jason for an episode we’re VERY excited about! This episode Pete and Larry interview Jim Gavin and Peter Ocko, Co-Creators and Executive Producers, of AMC’s new series: “Lodge 49”. Jim and Peter were wonderful guests and provide some great insights to their new show. Aside from Lodge 49, we attended Castle Island Virtual Lodge No. 190 with Worshipful Brother and past MLP guest, Nicholas Laine, and sat in lodge with many of our other Masonic podcasting friends. As for the rest of the show, Bro. Jeff Moyer phones in another gem and Bro. Jack has some news! Enjoy.

SPOILER ALERT: We talk about scenes in Lodge 49 up through episode 4.

Bye Everybody!

Howdy listeners! We’re settling into Studio 665 and have our first guest in the new digs: Worshipful Brother Nicholas Laine, Master of Castle Island Virtual Lodge No. 190 (CIVL) of the Grand Lodge of Manitoba Canada. Bro. Nicholas has been on the show before, and your MLP hosts have visited CIVL by virtue of a computer screen, but here he is, in the flesh! If you can make it through this marathon of a show, he even interviews us! Pete unveils a segment called “Treasures from the Vault” highlighting interesting facts from Pheonix Masonry. Bro. Jeff Moyer calls in and busts our chops, and Bro. Jack delivers the news. Also in Studio 665 with us this evening is Sir Knight Mark G. Mattern, Eminent Grand Captain General of the Grand Commandary of Knights Templar of Pennsylvania. It’s a long one, but we think you’ll enjoy!

Oh... and time codes... fancy!

Bye Everybody

Hello faithful listeners, we're back and in our new studio, STUDIO 665. Today's episode is just us breaking in the new place. We hear from Ken Hudson, or "K Dog", one of our previous guest. Apparently if you buy us a door for the studio, you get squatter rights and can come on the show. Jeff Moyer is back with more advice for Larry, and Jack has some news straight from somebody else's satire site. We hope you enjoy the new studio as much as we do, we look forward to settling in and bringing you that great Masonic programing only volunteers can provide!

Join your regular hosts for our last show in Monarch Studios. Studio 665 is near completion, and we'll be calling off from labor until next month to get settled in. In other news we pick up from last episode and move from communication to event planning. Maybe you'll find it useful, maybe not. Leave us a comment and let us know! Until next time faithful listeners and we'll see you in the new digs!

Hello fans! Join your regular hosts Pete, Larry, Jason, and Jack, this episode as we talk about communication in the craft (or the lack thereof) and brainstorm ideas to communicate more effectively. Speaking of communications, did you know that MLP is building a new studio, currently dubbed, "Studio 665"? Check out the show note links below to see how you can get involved.

http://www.masoniclite.com/2018/04/mlp-studio-go-fund-me.html

Join your hosts Pete, Larry, and Jason with guest host and Deputy State Master Counselor of Pennsylvania DeMolay, Tyler Moyer. Jack had to take a break this episode but Tyler does a great job informing our listeners about Masonic Youth and DeMolay in particular. Tyler will be making a run for State Master Counselor in July and talks with us about his campaign and platform. One small correction, we might have referenced early DeMolay and their friends as "Members and thier Chumps", but it is really "Chums". "Chumps" is more fun to say though!

¿Hablas Español? Join your Masonic Lite Podcast hosts, Pete, Jason, and Jack (Larry's on vacation) with guest co-host, Bro. Dan Madrigal. Originally from Mexico, Bro. Dan relocated many years ago to the Central Pennsylvania area. Even after having once served as Master in his original lodge in Mexico, Bro. Dan had to re-take his Degrees in his new Pennsylvania Lodge, as the two Jurisdictions did not recognize each other. Fast forward to today, Bro. Dan, along with many native Spanish speaking Brothers from the Philadelphia and Central PA area, are working to Charter Pennsylvania's first Spanish Speaking lodge. Tune in to hear the requirements, needs, and even challenges to opening this new Lodge. Do you speak Spanish? Want to hear more about club Alto Meridiano's hopes in turning their club into full fledged Lodge? Want to Join? You've come to the right place.

Visit: www.MasonicLite.com

Or message us at: www.facebook.com/masonicpodcast/

to learn more, or to connect with Bro. Dan Madrigal about Alto Meridiano.

Tonight we meet with Brother Steven Henry, a dear friend of our previous guest, Ken Hudson. After some banter... ok, a LOT of banter, we sort of get on topic about first responders. Our guest is a veteran EMS, Fireman, and First Responder etc. Somewhere between the laughter and goofing around, there might be some sort of takeaway. Enjoy!

Welcome listeners! Apologies for the delay. Thanks to an extra Monday this month and some technical difficulties, we're sure you were chomping at the bit for this show (insert sarcasm). Thanks to our Facebook memories, we think we're officially 2 years old. HOWEVER, Merris will continue to say we're celebrating 2 years, for the next couple years. We call that "Merris Math". Seth took a bye week, but we have several words of "encouragement" this show from our Goose & Gridiron friends. If you're looking for something more serious, check out a great new Masonic book from a few of our friends at TMR.

Join your regular hosts Pete, Larry, Jack, and Jason, along with our guest host Brother Kenneth F. Hudson Sr. Ken brings an interesting perspective to Freemasonry. Growing up in Philly and the church community, he had a negative outlook on Freemasonry, only after many years later to have his mind changed and joining at age 67. Join us as we goof around as usual but try to have a somewhat serious conversation about diversity in the craft. Bro. Moyer calls in a few times, and Bro. Seth enlightens us on another odd body with Corpora Obscurum.
