Masonic Central – Engaging the most prolific thinkers, writers, leaders, entertainers, and other news makers of Freemasonry today in one-on-one interviews and round table discussions.
“We take the craft and art of Freemasonry seriously and we see the pod cast as an excellent medium for exploring the intellectual and spiritual depths of the fraternity; its ideas and experience”!
Masonic Central, with Brothers Greg Stewart and Dean Kennedy, is a web only weekly program about “Freemasonry; its meaning, works, and ideas“. The pod cast that began in June 2008 has grown to over 20, 000 listeners across the globe. Our past guests have included author of Freemasons for Dummies Br. Chris Hodapp, the distinguished professor of Freemasonry Margaret Jacob, author and publisher of Templar books Stephen Dafoe, musician and composer “Hiram’s Call” Brother Howie Damron, the esteemed speaker and Secretary of the world conference of Grand Lodges Tom Jackson, and the Scottish Rite Journal’s very own Brent Morris, and this only names a few.
The show is self produced and distributed via the web site FreemasonInformation.com.
Masonic Central is about the compelling and challenging voices of wisdom on the more relevant subjects of 21st-century Masonry. Greg Stewart takes a philosophical view about the fraternity, drawing out the intersection of thought and experience, of broad ideas and real life. As a result, each week listeners get an in-depth, revealing, illuminating program unavailable from traditional sources of Masonic communication. Some of the topics covered include “Freemasonry in the cinema” to “Masonic Technology” to the myriad of voices of Masonic publishing.
Together they have partnered to publish and produce the Masonic Call in Pod Cast Masonic Central though talkshoe.com.
Also, watch for special live call in shows to ask your questions of our special guests!
This promises to be a great new foundation for Freemasonry into the 21st Century!

Wow, just suffered through Ep 14. The gentleman from York could have justifiably had his microphone cut. The guest would have been better treated and the resulting show would have been more valuable to listeners.
