Masonic Lite Podcast

Hello! On this episode we chat about practicing Freemasonry and representing the craft outside of the lodge room. New host Jake is on assignment elsewhere and was unable to join us, however, we hear Larry get deep with a new segment, and Dutchy Doug returns with a report from Broken Plow Lodge #377. In closing, Larry performs his usual duties while balancing on a tightrope over a gator pit with no net.
