<description>
<![CDATA[
2 episodes in a week? Am I nuts? (Don't answer that!)   Today's episode is a quick one...I was thinking about the legacy of our brother Dr. King, and my childhood, white guilt, putting a name to race, and Masonry and the inauguration tomorrow...and it was all swirling around in my head. So I decided to get it out onto an MP3 and share my thoughts with you and maybe spark some conversations between you and your brothers. Please share your thoughts and reflections too.  And Happy MLKJ Day!

Priester for granting me the time, Thanks to Arc Music Group for permission to play Bro. Butler's music in the show.

<description>
<![CDATA[
One of the most important tasks of any lodge is to communicate effectively with their members. The web offers tons of great tools to help Masons do just that. Many of these tools are cheap or even free of charge (usually if you put up with some advertising). In this, the first of several episodes we'll do from time to time, we review some tools to help your Lodge keep a calendar, manage email lists and start a trestleboard-style blog.

<title><![CDATA[015x: Xmas Special 2006]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
I am pleased to bring you the Second Annual Christmas Music Special filled with the best holiday music the net has to offer. I hope 2006 has been good to you and I look forward to a 2007 filled with light and brotherhood. All the music heard today can be found at the Podsafe Music Network, except our Hanukkah song, which can be ordered on iTunes and found at the LeeVees own web site. Check out the new video for "How Do You Spell Channukkkah?" on YouTube, and buy the album. Even if you're not Jewish, it still tastes great. Kind of like a fresh bagel.   Also the MP3 file is a little larger than normal...I ripped it in stereo so you can enjoy the music with slightly more quality.  Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward All! See you in 2007!

Have you heard the latest Gossip? Do you really want to? Why? In this episode we explore gossip: why it is harmful and why it can threaten the harmony of the lodge. Gossip is bad for the gossiper, the gossipee, the person hearing it, the person passing it on, and the Fraternity as a whole. It goes against our values as Masons and our Obligations. So why do we do it?  Special guest: Bro. (and Reverend) Timothy Bonney

<![CDATA[
Recently, a special task force from the Masonic Information Center (MIC), part of the Masonic Service Association published a paper called "It's About Time! Moving Masonry into the 21st Century" This paper is different and important. It's the first paper I've read in a long time that takes a truly critical look at the problems of our fraternity without a partisan position. It dovetails nicely with the goals here at X-Oriente, so we're going to take an in-depth look at the paper in its entirety. This is part 3 of a 3-part series. AND IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!

There are plenty of History Channel documentaries out there that proport to tell the story of Freemasonry. In 1991 W. Bro. I.

Shot on film (not video), the production featured the late John Robinson, author of "Born in Blood."   Now that 1991 film has been recut by the director and given a new title, "The Freemasons: The Mystery Myth and Legend." This episode is Part I of an interview with Bro Toth.

<title><![CDATA[Episode 3: Working For the Man]]></title>
<description>
<![CDATA[
This month's show is a Illinois Grand Lodge Special! but you don't  have to live on a prairie, or even have an affinity for Lincoln to  enjoy the show. We interview David W. Miller, Grandmaster of Illinois  and ask him what we all want to know: what's it like to be the big  Kahuna, le Grande Fromage, The Poobah? What's it like to be  Grandmaster? Plus we introduce a new segment called Working Tools:  cool tools on the web to make running your lodge a little easier.  SHOW NOTES:  00:00:00 - 00:02:00 Intro  00:02:01 - 00:03:00 Getting help?  00:03:01 - 00:04:48 Shout out to Arcadia Lodge No. 249 In Ames, Iowa  00:04:49 - 00:13:54 Working Tools: Online tools to help manage your  lodge; a review of BackPack  and Ta Da  00:13:55 - 00:17:18 Music: Lullaby by Gidgets GaGa, available at Podcast NYC 00:17:19 - 00:48:18:00 Chapter 2: Interview with Grandmaster David W.  Miller, Grand master of the M.W. Grand Lodge of the State of Illinois, A.F. & A.M. 00:48:19 - 00:53:45 Music: There She Goes by Brother Love, available at the  Podsafe Music Network 00:53:46 - 01:16:37 Outro  So usually there is a method behind my naming the show. This show  titled "Working for the Man" was named becasue I thought that we all  work in a sense for the Grand Master--he is our boss, right? ( generally speaking of course)  After talking with Grandmaster Miller I have come to realize that it  is he who works for us. The job of Grandmaster is tough. It is a lot  of responsibility, a lot of miles to drive in a year and a lot of  cranky guys to contend with. And not a lot of perks. Somehow a big  gold collar and a fancy apron doesn't seem even close to the kinds of  issues a GM must face every day to help keep us alive as a brotherhood . I always liked Dave Miller, but now I have a new and deeper respect  for not only the man, but the office he holds.   Fiat Lux!  E  The opinions expressed in this show are strictly those of X-Oriente and its editorial staff, and do not reflect those of any Lodge, Grand Lodge or appendant body.
