Odd Fellows, like all fraternal orders, have to exist in the long shadow cast by the only fraternal group that has any awareness in popular culture: Freemasons. Whether because of wacky conspiracy theories, blockbuster movies, thriller novels, or seemingly endless supposed connections to various historical figures and events, Freemasonry is the template against which most fraternal orders get compared. Even many Odd Fellows, when pressed to "explain" Odd Fellowship to the average person, will start with, "It's like the Masons but a little bit different..." To help enlighten our listeners about what Freemasonry is really about, Brother Mike Duminiak joins the show again to share his insight and experience as a Mason in Pennsylvania. Brother Mike illustrates the many similarities and the important differences between Masonry and Odd Fellowship and highlights how the two Orders are complimentary. The Ukraine fundraiser is up over $1100 and still taking donations on GoFund Me. For the Odd Podge, Brother Mike tells about helping fulfill a dying woman's wish to be buried with her child, Brother Ainslie shares his latest eBay treasure, and Brother Toby talks about a listener who alerted the podcast hosts to the Order of Mayans.
