Masonic Podcasts

If you already listen to podcasts or you are used to listening to talk radio, I highly recommend the Fort Worth Lodge #148 Podcast.  You can stream or download the latest episodes and access their show archives at http://fortworth148.libsyn.com/. and the podcast is also available on iTunes and Stitcher.

The Lodge's secretary, Brother Rhit Moore and his fellow hosts have been at it for over three years, offering new episodes about every other week.  This show is well-produced, thought-provoking, and inspiring.  They offer interviews with a wide range of fascinating guests, great discussions on topics of interest to Masons young and old, and the latest information about news and current events that matter to Texas Masons.  

There are shows and interviews that cover topics like how to make new members feel more like part of the Lodge, the challenges of learning the ritual work, and the history and variety of Masonic funeral services.  Several episodes specifically explore many of the questions and challenges that new Masons often experience as they go through the degrees and learn what it means to become a Mason.

There are many discussions that explore the history, symbolism, and philosophy of Freemasonry.  Other episodes are devoted entirely to the sharing of stories and personal experiences, and a few just take the time to recognize the gifts that our fraternity and our traditions offer to us.  I sincerely suggest you give this podcast a listen.
