Oddtistic

October 18, 2025 • Toby Hanson, Ainslie Heilich, Mike Duminiak • Season 6 • Episode 4

Mike fills two roles on this episode: one as host, and one as guest while we discuss his newest book, "Oddtistic." The book looks at how Odd Fellowship has become a refuge for those seeking acceptance in a world that is often dismissive and uninviting. It also outlines how community heals isolation and structure provides an anchor, all giving those seeking community a place to go with real prospects for inclusion and belonging. The Shoutout goes to yet another brand-new lodge, Stillson No. 77 in Vermont. In this episode's Odd Podge, Toby shares his observations from Reddit, Ainslie talks about the preparations for the Odd Market his lodge hosts in Illinois, and Mike double-dips as both host and guest, recounting Ainslie's guest appearance on his other podcast, Odd Fellows Today, talking about art and Odd Fellowship, and giving us an example of interaction with the wider community from his fundraiser ride for Hubbard House.
