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!

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. It's Business Time: https://www.amazon.com/Its-Business-Time-Corporate-Freemasonry-ebook/dp/B07CJVC5N3/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525861094&sr=8-1&keywords=it%27s+business+time

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.

Join your MLP hosts Pete, Larry, Jason, AND Jack for a night of discussion about Jack's topic and idea that Masonry is "right where it ought to be" regarding a transitional period in the craft. We have our regular appearance by Seth Anthony and Corpora Obscurum, followed by a somber piece of Masonic News. We hope you enjoy. No special guests tonight, just the four of us bantering, and a healthy dose of picking on Larry.

After a quick call in from everybody's favorite Masonic Mentor, Bro. Jeff Moyer, join your hosts Pete, Larry, Jason, Jack, and special guest co-host Rev. Matthew Randolph, Pastor of Donegal Presbyterian Church in Mount Joy, PA. The Reverend recently returned from the Knights Templar's Holy Land Pilgrimage. A trip, as the name suggests, hosted and funded by the Grand Encampment Knights Templar of the USA, reserved for select men of the cloth from across the country. Our guest co-host jumps right in and speaks about his trip, profession, and Masonry. Luckily he fit right in. Your other hosts however, are on their way to confession. Enjoy our regular segments with Masonic News with Jack Harley and a great Corpora Obscurum with the Directory of the Museum of Fezology, Seth Anthony.

This episode, join us along with a repeat guest, Bryan Hill from the Traditional Observance Kite and Key Lodge No. 811 in Allentown PA. Later in the show we are joined by Shaun Sponagle, member of Lamberton Lodge No. 476 and current Monarch for Ubar Grotto, MOVPER. We recorded this episode in our Grotto meeting place, so please excuse the hum from some pesky lights, but the Ubar Grotto Jingle courtesy of Bro. Joey Dougherty should make up for it. Also, we have a couple guest cameos with Brother Scott Helm and Mark Mattern. Enjoy!

Tonight on Episode 046, join Pete, Jason, Jack, and guest host Justin (because Larry's out sick) while our minds explode with information overload from our special guest, Symbologist and author, Michelle Snyder. Our brains are still numb, so we stole her bio and copied it below. "Michelle is a professor of mythology and symbolism, fairy tale author, blogger, and geek. She earned her post-graduate degree at the University of Wales, Lampeter and has been teaching art and visual language to students of all ages for 35 years. Her artwork, inspired by her love of symbolism, has appeared in galleries from Massachusetts to California. Michelle is co-owner of White Knight Studio with her husband Jay." We had such a blast talking to Michelle that our show ran long, we're sorry.

After a string of offsite recordings, your fantastic four Masonic Lite co-hosts are back in Pete's basement, err... Monarch Studios! No guest, no topic, just some good old MLP banter. Pete and Larry did go to a Robert Burns supper which recap here. Other than that, we've got some news and the always educational Obscura Corpora with Seth Anthony!

Welcome to 2018 Masonic Lite listeners. Today Pete, Jason, Jack, Jeff, and a cameo from Larry on his death bed are at the Goose and Gridiron Breakfast at the Movable Feast in Mountville with Bryan L. Hill, and the new DDGM of the First Masonic District, Ronald B. Carson. Our first guest, Bryan, is beyond a big-wig in the York Rite, and Jason reads his entire Masonic Resume, all two pages and 3 minutes of it! Bryan tells us some stories from his career professionally and within the craft. Ronald B. Carson, new District Deputy Grand Master stops by and shares some insights to the next few years in PA Masonry in general and our District in particular as our a New Grand Master was installed recently as well as our new DDGM. Corpora Obscurum in in full effect with Seth Anthony and in typical fashion, Jeff and Larry have their normal jabs, but we think Jeff wins! And just when you thought Larry's voice couldn't get any worse.... well listen on listeners! Lastly, we have some great music from YOUTHFOOL, whose bandmates include a Brother from Lodge No. 43 in Lancaster PA.

Well folks, this wraps up another year of Masonic Lite Podcast. Due to our Holiday Schedules, we're recording at the Goose and Gridiron Breakfast Society at The Moveable Feast in Mountville PA. Jack is under the weather so Larry's favorite antagonist, Bro. Jeff Moyer fills in again. Even though this is a Holiday show, Larry's grumpy. We reminisce about the highlights of our 2017 Masonic life in general, Masonic Lite in particular, and Moyer harasses Larry a bunch. Thank you to all "50k listeners in 62 countries" as Larry likes to claim! We know there's really only a couple of you. Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year, and everything in between. We'll be on break until January 15th, 2018. - MLP Signing off for 2017.

Keeping with the Scottish Rite theme, this episode we go very local and go on location at our neighbor's "Holiday Happenings" event in the Valley of Reading PA. Pete, Larry and Jason spend some time with our host Bro Scott Helm and other dignitaries from the Valley, including Bro. Jeff Moyer, 32.125° who lined up as many interviews as he could.

Join us this week for a hodge-podge of a show. Pete and Larry tried to do the show on the sly without Jason and Jack, but we found out so we all rerecorded. Turns out we were too grumpy even by our own standards and scrapped it. Then we changed our tune when we read "The Path Forward" survey from the Scottish Rite, NMJ, and recorded our initial thoughts... AND THEN, we had an opportunity to speak directly to the source: David A. Glattly, the recently installed Sovereign Grand Commander of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, Northern Masonic Jurisdiction. So in short, we ditched most of this weeks ramblings to accommodate the Commander and Michael Russel, the VP of Charity and Development of the Rite, so we could hear it straight from the horses mouth. We couldn't be more thrilled, actually! See below for all the videos and web sites mentioned in this episode, including a local program in the 1st Masonic District in PA: The Cornerstone Group.

Join us for Episode 40! How the heck did that happen? Tonight MLP hosts Jack, Larry, Pete and Jason have no guest. Larry thought it should be an open forum, or "open mic" night. Which of course means he wanted to talk about fundraising, as usual. Catch up with the boys after a 5 Monday month where we skipped a week, and hear the usual suspects and segments like Masonic News with Jack, Corpora Obscurum with Seth Anthony, and Jeff Moyer's Magical Mentoring Mystery Minute.

Episode 39: The show must go on. This show, Pete and Jack were out of town, so Larry and Jason took to the streets, and were guest speakers at Zembo Shrine. We tricked them into recording our intro and outro with us. The rest of the show however; in a series of untimely events and technically difficulties, we've managed to scrap this gem together. Our original scheduled online guest was unable to attend do to some travel delays. Good news too, because it was our first foray into a Google Hangouts only recording. So we did what any good Masonic Podcast would do when doing their first hangouts recording, hailing one of the Masonic podcasting gurus: Jason Richards, of the famed Masonic Roundtable. Luckily he was a good sport. We could only salvage a few minutes for you... Hopefully we haven't scared him back for good. This shows short, but we're going for quality of quantity here folks!

Join us this week as our list of guests gets better and better. Tonight we have Mark Tabbert, Director of Collections at George Washington Masonic National Memorial Association and author of several poplar Masonic titles. We cover topics from George Washington of course, Traditional Observance, technology in the craft, the eras of Freemasony, and more. We trust you'll be as blown away from Mark's acumen and opinions of the craft as we were! Find Mark's publications, and contact information at The George Washington Masonic National Museum by visiting: https://gwmemorial.org/

What should you do with the old minutes! Put them in the basement, lock them in a safe, feed them to the hounds? Join your MLP hosts alongs with guest host Seth Anthony and published and highly recognized Masonic Scholar and Archivist Dr. Heather Calloway, who's credentials include having been on staff at the House of the Temple in the Southern Jurisdiction of the Scottish Rite and currently as Archivist & Special Collections Librarian/Assistant Professor at Washington College. This show we talk about the challenges of preserving Masonic collectibles and other historical documents that lodges across the globe are being faced with.

Join your regular cast along with guest host and Masonic Artist W∴ Ryan J. Flynn. We discuss all things regarding art in the craft and finer points like Masters and their need for crockpots. We don't forget our dear friend and brother Seth Anthony for another obscure Corpora Obscurum (that's double obscure for those paying attention). Find more about Ryan J. Flynn and other show related info here: Ryan J. Flynn: http://www.ryanjflynn.com/ https://www.facebook.com/RyanJFlynnArtist/ Association of Masonic Artists: http://www.masonicarts.org/ J. H. Rathbone Museum http://jhrathbonemuseum.org/

Plus, we didn't forget our regular segments like Masonic New and Corpora Obscurum.

Folks, we've been on vacation, give us a break! Recorded at the same time as Episode 33, we talk about putting the Fun in Fundraising... or the not so FUNdraising as grumpy Uncle Larry would say. We hope your summer has been awesome and hopefully we'll see you near a dunk tank sometime soon!

Join your hosts for a conversation with the Worshipful Master of Castle Island Virtual Lodge No. 190, Nicholas Laine. Please excuse the quality of this interview while Pete's dobermonsters are slaughtering the mail man upstairs and Nicholas is phoning in from his travels for his usual vocations. If you're interested in attending Castle Island meeting, you can email Nicholas Laine at: [email protected]

Welcome to Episode 32! Today we have an impromptu conversation about appendant bodies, play a game, and hear from Seth Anthony and Corpora Obscurum. It's been a busy few weeks ramping up to the summer break. We hope you, enjoy 32.

Join your hosts Pete, Larry, Jack, and Jason with a show full of the usual banter and tom foolery. Our good friend and Brother Seth Anthony joins us for a not so high tech sounding phone conversation about Masonic Conspiracies, and follows up with his Corpora Obscurum about the Odd Fellows. Pete wants to play a game, and Crib Notes reviews Rev. Dr. Bro. Chris Rodkey's adult coloring book "Coloring Lent". https://www.amazon.com/Coloring-Lent-Adult-Journey-Resurrection/dp/0827205473/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1497868773&sr=8-1&keywords=coloring+lent

Join your regular hosts for their 30th episode and the launch of a new segment (a very poor launch mind you) called "Crib Notes", Jack and Larry's book review segment. As per the norm enjoy the "Fake News" with Jack, Obscura Corpora with Seth Anthony, and all the regular MLP banter. Show notes? Who needs show notes? But if you want to read "Pillars of the Earth" as mentioned in the show, you can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/Pillars-Earth-Novel-Kingsbridge/dp/0451166892

All four hosts are back in the basement again. Pete conducts brief interviews with Michelle Snyder and Ryan Flynn while at Masonicon, and recaps the event for MLP. We have a surprise phone in from past guest and Bro. Jeff Moyer spreading the brotherly love!

The MLP boys are all over the place this week. Pete and Larry had to record in a PT Cruiser recapping a Grotto filled week, Jason is no where to be found, Jack phones in a report on the lodge in Gettysburg PA, and we have a great outdoors interview with Azim Grotto's Dominic Falcone... and a lawnmower!

Join the entire team, Pete, Larry, Jason and "Sometimes" Jack for MLP's episode 27, where we dive into a not so scholarly discussion on Knights Templar and one popular belief that Freemasons are their direct decedents. Also tune in for another episode of Corpus Obscurum from Brother Seth Anthony, and Brother on the Street R.C. McCorvey chats with Bro. Noel Wenrich, Past Master of Lodge 43 and President of the local Widow's Sons chapter, about a Vietnam era wartime helicopter restoration project. You can find more about Bro. Noel's project, Liberty War Bird, here: https://www.facebook.com/LibertyWarBird/

Join your MLP host Pete, Larry and Jason for episode 26 where Larry shows off his interview prowess with Bro. C.R. Dunning Jr, author of the book "Contemplative Masonry". Our guest, Chuck, was wonderful.. the jury is out on Larry. Also we have the return of "Brother on the Street" with R.C. McCorvy, our reoccurring "Corpora Obscurum" with Bro. Seth Anthony, and a quick interview with Bro. Oscar Alleyne from the PA Academy of Masonic Knowledge.

Join us once again on Masonic Lite Podcast, episode 25. Tonight, Larry stumbles through an interview with Michala, the founder of: www.TheMasonsLady.com, who offers a significant others perspective of what to expect when your partner is a Mason, as well as a number of thought provoking topics including equality in the craft, and at times lack there of. In an effort to keep it lowbrow, Pete and Jason give their perspective of how not so great of and interviewer Larry is... Michala, on the other hand is a great guest. #BlameLarry

After a long hiatus and some shenanigans, we're back with a new and improved episode 24... "B". Join us for a brief discussion about "just because a Mason said it, doesn't make it Masonic", along with our regular segments, and picking on Larry. Thank you for your patience MLP fans!

.... And we're back! We hope you all had a great Holiday! We're back at Larry's dining room table with Larry of course, Pete, Jack and Jason while Monarch Studios is moving from the add-on garage to the basement and while Larry's not allowed out of the house as his shoulder continues to heal. We're starting off the new year talking about Mentors and asking: "What the heck can we do to get these new guys back to lodge?" Sit back, and enjoy the show. We sound a little different thanks to the mobile rig, but that's OK right?!

Join us for this very special episode where the MASONIC LITE and BROUGHT TO LIGHT podcasts join forces for a combined Holiday show. Hosts Pete, Jack, Larry, and Jason compare notes with our friends in Australia, Jack, Steve, and Dave, on a wide range of topics... but not much Freemasonry. Over the last year both shows hosts' have become fast friends and this show is the culmination of several months planning. This show is not for the faint of heart, so buckle up, grab an eggnog (non alcoholic of course), and listen away! You can find the BROUGHT TO LIGHT podcast and Jack Aquilina's Blue Lounge Social Club here: http://podcast.blueloungesocial.com/ An unedited version of the live stream is available here (even though Pete says our faces are better seen on radio): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0xNh7_Is9w Masonic Lite will be on Holiday Break and we look forward to abusing your eardrum January 16 in the new year!
