Show Notes
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.

The typewriter enabled secretaries to not handwrite summonses and minutes. The ritual book enabled brothers to learn away from lodge, the telephone made it easier for us to stay in touch, the internet gives us access to more knowledge than we will ever find time to consume.
This episode sees us taking a deeper dive into the fourth element of Pure Antient Freemasonry – that of the Royal Arch.
This month’s episode sees Worshipful Brother Ricky Mattioni, Past Provincial Grand Steward, joining us to discuss the topic of ‘balance’.
