Welcome to Episode 61! Tonight we’re with Bro. T.J. Griffin and his entourage: Bro. Carlos Rosado and Coach Troy Richardson. Bro. T.J. talks about growing up hustling on the street, turning his life around, working in the hip-hop music industry, and turning those experiences into helping at risk youth via “The Vision Program”. By the way, he also became a Mason, has spoke at Tedx, and stars in an independent film titled “Choices”. Aside from his inspirational story we have some of our regular segments including Bro. Jeff Moyer, and the Masonic Lite News phoning in from Boston… sort of, enjoy!

Thanks for the kind words, for a change, Bro. Moyer at the top of the show!

Welcome to Episode 60, with your regular hosts and special guest Bro. Matt Blaisdell, Creative Director for the Scottish Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction (AASR NMJ). Matt talks about the recent update to the AASR NMJ’s logos and branding, we have a great conversation about the Northern Masonic Jurisdiction’s Path Forward and Masonry in general, but Larry’s mic broke, so you don’t have to listen to him as much, except for his “Message”… We’re taking bets. Anyway, Jason and Matt nerd out about their Erie, PA connection and hot dogs before Matt tells us about his involvement in DeMolay. Jack has news, we have another Treasure from the Vault, and of course; chickens!

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!

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!
