Thank you to those who have commented in the past about Audio Quality.  We cleaned up this interview w/Sam and I am pleased to say the audio is FANTASTIC!  Please continue to comment on other tracks and as resources become available, we will improve other tracks as well.

I have this playing and the guest is so quiet I maxed out the volume to hear him and then went legitimately temporarily deaf when the host talked. Now I cannot hear the guest at all. 

On the Level is a set of interviews done by Bo Buchanan, Arizona Lodge No. 2 in Phoenix, Arizona.  Everyone interviewed is a mason or a member of the masonic family.  While most of the interviews are of masons within various lodges in the Grand Lodge of Arizona, the interviewees include brothers from various lodges across the United States, brothers from England, Scotland, Ireland and France as well as members of the extended masonic family such as Eastern Star, DeMolay, Jobs Daughters, Amaranth, etc.

Welcome back to another episode of the Art of Manliness podcast. In this edition, we talk to Robert Davis about the history of masculinity in America and Freemasonry's influence on American men. Robert is the Executive Secretary of the Guthrie, Oklahoma Scottish Rite and the author of the book Understanding American Manhood: Freemasonry's Enduring Path to the Mature Masculine.

Episode #20: Freemasonry and Manhood In American History with Robert Davis

Freemasonry and the Founders D. James Kennedy

The Masonic Lodge is supported by three pillars, which are Wisdom, Strength and Beauty. Great importance should be given to each one of these, as they have a very important purpose in the instruction of the Mason. We have inherited a rich Artistic history in Freemasonry, but the Pillar of Beauty can often be neglected in the pursuit of strength and wisdom. How prominently does Art figure in your Lodge?

On this episode of The Winding Stairs Freemasonry Podcast, we have the privilege of exploring the topic of Art in Freemasonry with our talented Brother Ryan J Flynn. Join us, as we discuss the answers to these questions:

Is Art an effective teaching tool in Masonry?
Are Masonic Artists violating their obligation while depicting lessons of The Craft?
What is the historical significance of Art in Freemasonry?
What is the current state of the Arts in our Fraternity?
Are Masonic Artists using the symbols to get rich?
What role does social media play in our Craft?
From where do we derive inspiration when creating art?
The answer to these and many more questions are contained in an exclusive video interview I had with Bro. Ryan J Flynn. Bro:. Flynn is the artist behind the Illuminated Patents and The Codex Series.

Episode 1: Bo Buchanan speaking On the Level

Ben Passman is the first person I interviewed in the "On the Level" series.  Ben talks about why he joined Freemasonry and shares some personal stories.   

NOTE:  This interview series began without dedicated microphones so some of the early interviews can be a little hard to hear.   Turn up the volume on this one but be assured that the quality improves in later interviews.

Recorded January 9th, 2016

Episode 2: Ben Passman on the philosophy and foundation of freemasonry

Another fan requested show! When a man joins freemasonry at the earliest age allowed in his jurisdiction, it should be without controversy and dramatics. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Let's blend the recurring themes together of new Masons, multigenerationalism, and the importance of mentorship into an action packed episode!
