Episode 172 - Bro. Chris Ruli

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:  burlingtonlodgewm@gmail.com

Episode 033 - Virtually Speaking with Nicholas Laine

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!

Episode 034 - It puts the FUN in the Fundraising

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!

Episode 052 - First Responder Night with Steven Henry

¿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.

Episode 053 - Alto Meridiano - Plans for a Spanish speaking Lodge w/ Bro. Dan Madrigal

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!
