Freemasonry 365

Season 2 · Episode 8

Sunday, May 3, 2026 • Duration 51:13

In the final episode of our second season, Steve and Ricky are joined by a new mason, Tim Brogan-Shaw, a Fellowcraft who was initiated in November 2025. Between them they explore the topic of ‘Freemasonry 365’ and look into what Freemasonry means to them and how they act and live as masons beyond the lodge room. Considering areas such as daily advancement and connections with members, this episode challenges us to consider the philosophical questions of ‘What does it mean to be a mason?’ and explores the risks of the summer drift and a lack of connection when lodge meetings are not as regular. Concluding our second season, we are really keen to hear your thoughts, ideas and aspirations as we plan for season 3. Please do get in touch.
