The Craftcast team is on the road once again, traveling to Blackpool to meet a man who first discovered Freemasonry through social media!
In a unique first, we sat down with a Candidate twice: In the moments before his Initiation, as he shared his expectations and reasons for joining, and again immediately afterwards to hear his honest first impressions while the experience was still fresh in his mind.
Along the way, we also explore how modern membership enquiries lead to lifelong friendships, why people are joining Freemasonry today, and what a welcoming Lodge experience looks like for a brand-new member.
Whether you are simply curious about Freemasonry, thinking about joining yourself, or already a member, this episode offers a genuine insight into one of life’s memorable milestones.
