Podcasts about Odd Fellows

A beloved Dunedin theatre is celebrating its 150th anniversary by harking back to its opening night, with Music Hall shows featuring sketches, comic songs and rousing choruses. The Playhouse Theatre first opened as Oddfellows' Hall in 1876 before being converted to a theatre in the 1960s. Next month's shows will also help fundraising efforts for theatre renovations. Tess Brunton reports.

Episode 469, including tracks from Long Lasting Train, Forsaken Profits, Think Machine, Bad Nasty, Finnegan's Hell, The Real McKenzies, The Feelgood McLouds, Oddfellows, Arcadian Shadows, Generation X, Slumlords, Jamie James, and Courtney Gaines Group. Eric adds his upcoming releases, but is unable to make it this episode. The episode is loaded with a bunch of new music shared with us, a great album getting reissued, and wrap up the show with a couple Rock n Roll tracks.

There are many historical connections between Texas and Tennessee, from country music to Davy Crockett to Willie Nelson to the many brave Tennesseans who helped defend the Alamo.  Because of those links, it's appropriate that we follow up two very Texan episodes with one from Tennessee.  Recently, Crockett Hall Lodge #59 was re-chartered in Lawrenceburg, Tennessee.  Brother Robert Gentry, who headed up the effort to revive the lodge, joins us to tell his story.  Like many of us, he first encountered historical relics of the Odd Fellows' presence in Middle Tennessee, including a road bearing the name of the Order.  That led to research, which led to a desire to form a lodge, which eventually led to the Grand Lodge of Tennessee and PGM Tammy Barton, who assisted with the process.  He also shares some of the ways in which he was able to find members interested in reviving the lodge, including taking many people down to Alabama to get their degrees in the closest lodge.  The Shoutout goes to Four Creeks Lodge No. 94 of Visalia, California, home lodge of our guest host Michael Crile, for their work in becoming active again and getting new members.  In the Odd Podge, guest host Brother Michael gives us a brief history lesson of Tennessee Wesleyan University, which was first going to be chartered as Odd Fellows Women's College and spent an amount of time named for Brother Ulysses S. Grant; Robert previews the August Back-To-School Motorcycle Run, Toby shares his visit to Mount Constitution Lodge No. 88 on Orcas Island and gives an impromptu history lesson on the Pig War; and Meredith talks Cinco de Mayo and the "Good Neighbor" policies toward Latin America under President Brother Franklin D. Roosevelt, which, of course, prompts another history lesson from Toby.

For nearly 150 years, prior to 2001, the Rebekahs were a strong and vital companion organization to the Odd Fellows.  However, once women were allowed to be Odd Fellows and were no longer restricted to just Rebekah membership, numbers for that unit of the Order started to decline precipitously.  Director of Institutional Research Meredith Moore attended the Testamonial of IARA President Pam Isenhower to meet with and interview many prominent Rebekahs from around the US and Canada.  Sister Meredith asked many important questions of the attendees hoping to get a feel for the future of the Rebekah branch.  What followed were some frank and surprising answers, some of which may be controversial.  The Shoutout goes to Scott Encamment #132 of Pennsylvania that listens to the podcast and discusses what they hear in each episode.  In the Odd Podge, Meredith previews her upcoming trip to the now-passed Founders Day Reenactment in New Jersey, Ainslie shares his trip to a recently revitalized lodge hosting its first Degree Day in several years, and Toby lets our colleagues at Modern Goat Rider know that he's attending the Grand Sessions of British Columbia.

Odd Fellowship has  a long, proud history in the state of Texas, dating back to Lone Star Lodge No. 1 in Houston, the first lodge chartered outside the United States by the IOOF, in 1845, before Texas joined the union.  A big part of that history was San Antonio Lodge No. 11, only a few steps away from the Alamo, the cradle of Texan independence.  On April 11th, San Antonio Lodge No. 11 was rechartered by the Grand Lodge of Texas with eleven members.  Brother Daniel McGittrick joined us to preview the reinstitution of the lodge and give us the story of how it came to be as well as how the process worked for it to happen.  The Shoutout goes to *ANOTHER* new Encampment, this time Peoria No. 3 of Illinois.  Unlike many of the recent new Encampments, this one was spearheaded by older members who wanted to have their own Encampment to help support the Patriarchs Militant.  In the Shoutout, Toby gives an update on how the progressive Degrees are going in his associate lodge; Ainslie shares the cycle of Odd Fellowship he experienced participating as Noble Grand in the Funeral Ceremony and then, later in the day, attending a Degree Rally; Meredith gives props to the new Grand Master of Texas, Jason Ottwell, for performing the Installation of Officers for Dallas No. 44 the same day he was installed as Grand Master; and Daniel thanks three important Odd Fellows in Texas for their assistance and support of the recent growth: Charles Stephenson, John Woolsey, and Bruce Wayne Smith.  Special music for this episode was recorded by Toby Hanson.

Pine Island, Minnesota is the kind of idyllic Midwestern farm town that most people picture when they think of anywhere in the middle of the country: friendly people, a strong sense of community, and civic pride.  The town also had one other fixture that used to be common in every little town in the Midwest: an Odd Fellows lodge.  Unfortunately, the lodge had fallen on hard times.  Membership was low and the building was falling apart.  Evan Goranson and David Friese stepped in about a year and a half ago and started turning things around.  Sometimes that job was fun and easy, like getting people interested in sorting through old treasures in the building.  Sometimes it was more of a challenge than they wanted, like dealing with a leaking toilet.  Through it all, the lodge is prospering and starting to grow, having reconnected with its community.  The progress is significant and shows that with the right combination of new members, guidance from the Grand Lodge, and a can-do attitude, a lodge can be revived and start to thrive.  The Shoutout goes to a new lodge in Tennessee, Crockett Hall Lodge #59.  In this episode's Odd Podge, Meredith previews a special parade inclusion for the upcoming Pilgrimage to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, Ainslie shares another somber memorial service in Illinois, Evan expresses excitement for the first day over 70 degrees Farenheit for Minnesota and Wisconsin, David expresses gratitude both for the nine candidates poised to join his lodge and for being able to talk about it on the podcast, and Toby recounts his conversation with a Chief Patriarch about how to make his Encampment more interesting for its members.

Sometimes the connections which bring people to Odd Fellowship are short and direct.  Sometimes they span a continent.  In Bing Martin's case, it was his friend Thomas Guilliams of St. Helena Lodge #167 in Northern California who prompted him to find a lodge near his home in Chicago.  That lodge turned out to be Irving Park Lodge #190.  When he first made contact with the lodge, he found the classic group of elderly men who kept the lodge going but had no ideas for how to grow or expand.  Through Thomas' guidance, Bing persisted, even going out to California to take his Degrees in the St. Helena lodge.  Eventually it paid off and now Irving Park is one of Illinois' fastest-growing lodges.  Bing and Thomas relate the winding, cross-country tale of how they both came to be Odd Fellows and how that tale also includes Kris Gratz of Virginia joining the Odd Fellows.  The Shoutout goes to yet another new Encampment (and another one in Oregon, no less): Wimawhala Encampment No. 6.  In the Odd Podge, Toby happily shares his experience at the Theta Rho Girls' Club Installation, Ainslie tells us about the escape room his lodge visited and their long-traveling member who has returned, Thomas thanks us for hosting him on the podcast, Bing shares his gratitude for the help he received in joining, and Meredith spills the beans about an upcoming event at the historic Texas Theater in Dallas (yes, *THAT* Texas Theater) featuring our favorite pro-fraternal movie, Join Or Die!

The new year finds us with a new co-host: Sister Meredith Moore of Dallas Lodge #44 in Texas.  Meredith brings a wonderful background in Odd Fellowship and in data collection and analysis to the show and we waste no time in putting her skills to work.  She developed and posted a survey on member burnout that got responses from 37 jurisdictions.  The results are, in most cases, not surprising.  Members like meaning, ritual, and regalia.  The real question is whether any action will be taken based on the data from the survey or if higher levels of leadership will just continue on as before.There's no Shoutout on this episode.  We would love it if you would share great things your lodge is doing so we can tell the rest of Odd Fellowship about it.  Email us at 3linksoddcast@gmail.com and give us the info about what you're doing.  In the Odd Podge, Ainslie shares the exciting news that his father joined the Odd Fellows, Toby talks about a visit from Michael and Ryan Crile of California (including a tour of the Washington Odd Fellows Museum), and Meredith previews the upcoming Encampment and Canton Degree Days at the end of January.

We're baCkkkkkkk!!For our first episode back we recorded on location, at Belvoir, in Liberty Missouri!

The location is filled with fun history, lots of active hauntings, and wine... what could be a better place to cover for SEASON 2?!www.killerhangoverpodcast.comkillerhangoverpodcast@gmail.com **sources are listed on our website**

What exactly is a Grinch, anyway?  Is it a person?  A creature?  An outlook on life that sours every interaction?  The Three Links Odd Cast does another adaptation of a timeless holiday classic focused on Odd Fellowship as we present, "How The Grand Master Stole Christmas."  In our version we get to explore what happens when individual desire supersedes our duties as Odd Fellows and how we can get back in touch with those duties.  Our all-star cast returns for this episode, with Gil T. Rodelo, Ian Love-Jones, Matthew Thornton, Evan Ochs, Mason Wolf, Michael Greenzeiger, Steven Cross, Meredith Moore, Kyle Fuller, Kait Osman, and Elizabeth Keena.

Placerville is one of these California towns that got its start during the Gold Rush. This was a rough and tumble Wild West place also known as Hang Town. The Cary House Hotel was built to accommodate people coming in for the Gold Rush and was the jewel of Placerville. The hotel is believed to be quite haunted and there could be several reasons why. The Odd Fellows were strong in this town and met at the hotel. And there were two deaths there. But it isn't the only haunted location. Several buildings have spirits. Join us for the history and hauntings of Placerville, California. This Month in History features the Chunnel Breakthrough.

Looking to get his life on a better track, Bro. Niles Schumm took his mother's suggestion and joined the Odd Fellows.  That led him to his local lodge where he started to get more and more involved in lodge activities.  After not too many more years, he started to get interested in serving at the Grand Lodge level and is currently the Grand Warden of Illinois.  Bro. Schumm recounts his journey into Odd Fellowship and talks about his philosophy of desiring to bring about cooperation among members in Illinois and neighboring jurisdictions.  He also shares some of the things that he's done working with the Grand Lodge to help strengthen lodges in need of assistance.  The Shoutout goes to Tonquish Lodge #32 in Michigan for their recent success in growing the lodge and reaching out to their community.  In the Odd Podge, Toby shares the joy of receiving his 25 year jewel at his home lodge in Seattle; Ainslie tells us about the Riverboat Cruise he attended that was organized by Gem City Lodge #357 in Illinois, Niles invites us all to his Friendsgiving celebration, and Mike expresses his joy and gratitude over the recent Sovereign Grand Lodge session in Charleston, WV.

Abstract: Numerous discussions of the similarities between the LDS temple endowment and Masonic rites exist, which give the impression that the two overlap considerably. Rather than focus on the similarities themselves, this paper seeks to quantify how much the two rites overlap by performing a textual analysis. In the first section, the named entities, clothing, props, and participants in the ceremonies are compared. In the second section a line-by-line comparison identifies similar wording, structure, and meaning in the text, which results in a 10% to 17% overlap between the texts. The third section involves comparing sequences of one to five words in the text. For this task, three additional texts were included for comparison: portions of the Pearl of Great Price, the Odd Fellows rite, and the mystagogical catechesis (an initiation into mysteries). In some instances, comparisons indicate more similarity between the Masonic and Odd Fellows ceremonies than between the LDS endowment and the Masonic rite. The post A Textual Comparison of Masonic Rites and the LDS Temple Endowment first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

A plan to tear down Liberty Hall in Downtown Louisville, also known as the Oddfellows Building, in order to build a new pickleball facility is attracting the ire of preservationists.We talk about the plans and the response on this week's Access Louisville podcast. LBF Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett is on the show to share details of a press conference he attended on Tuesday, Sept. 2. Steve Wiser, of the Louisville Historical League, said during the press conference that he was shocked by the plan for pickleball courts, calling it 'a joke."Louisville Business First broke the news recently that the Omni Louisville Hotel is planning to build a $12 million pickleball-focused entertainment venue on the property, according to a permit filed with Louisville Metro Planning and Design. The 14,000-square-foot venue would feature four indoor pickleball courts, four outdoor pickleball courts, an indoor restaurant and bar, outdoor yard-game areas and flexible event and gathering spaces, according to the filing. The Oddfellows building is one of two downtown structures we chat about on the show. Reporter Olivia Estright is also on the show to talk about the recent acquisition of the 800 Tower apartments. The residential building, at 800 S. Fourth St., was purchased by FNMA for just over $20 million, according to a deed filed in June, following foreclosure proceedings against the previous owners.  We also chat about listening sessions for the proposed revamp of the Belvedere in Downtown Louisville; and a site in Downtown Jeffersonville, Indiana where the mayor wants a grocery store to be built. We also discuss a new tavern that's heading into space in New Albany. And at the very end of the show, I mention a report that Isaacs & Isaacs has a new CEO. That gets us talking about our favorite TV lawyer commercials. Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. It's available on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify (which are linked above.) You can also listen in the player above.

The Louisville Historical League is not pleased with the Omni Hotel's announced plans to raze the classic Odd Fellows building and recreate the area as a pickleball complex.Architect Steve Wiser speaks on behalf of the Louisville Historical League.

Season six kicks off in Grand—or, should we say—Sovereign Grand style!  We recorded this episode of the podcast live from the historic hall of Kanawha Lodge #25 of Charleston, West Viriginia, host of the 2025 Sovereign Grand Lodge Session.  We were joined by a wonderful live audience and guests who told us about what's going on in their jurisdictions.  We heard about a tiny lodge in Rhode Island that suddenly had an influx of members, the growth of Encampments and Cantons in Texas, a roundabout way of getting the mayor of Pine Island, Minnesota to join that town's lodge, and many more great and inspiring stories from around Odd Fellowship.  In the Odd Podge, Ainslie talked about how Thomas Wildey had to place several advertisements in the newspaper in Baltimore before he was able to round up enough Odd Fellows to form a lodge (and he also gave a great plug to Mike's new book Oddtistic); Mike announced his new podcast "Odd Fellows Today" again; and Toby shared why he comes to Sovereign Grand Lodge even without a job to do.  Hint: it's all about all of you listeners out there!

This episode traces North Adams, a Hillsdale County village that grew up along the rails and wired itself for the future. We open with the town's most retold story—blacksmith Henry Taylor, a former slave who became a respected tradesman and was said to carry his anvil and once walk off with a potbelly stove. From there, we move down Main Street to Maccabee Hall, Barden's Hotel, and C. J. Knapp's store, then over to the 1912 Municipal Lighting Plant that brought electric light to homes and storefronts.We also cover a tough year: April 23, 1927, when sparks from a chimney ruined the village school. Classes shifted to Town Hall, the Odd Fellows hall, and the Congregational Church while a new building was planned. A 1927 newspaper snapshot rounds out daily life—about 500 residents, three churches, a 12-grade school on the University of Michigan list, a library of 900 books, and a full block of shops and services.

The Golden Age of Fraternalism lasted from 1870 to 1920 and was a time when fraternal organizations in the US had the largest surge of popularity. These organizations included the Knights of Columbus, the Rotary Club, the Freemasons, the Shriners and the Odd Fellows. The Odd Fellows is one of the oldest orders and while they don't have a large membership today, they were very influential at one time. So influential, that the Catholic Church declared that anyone belonging to the organization was condemned. This meant that Odd Fellow members and their families couldn't be buried in Catholic cemeteries. They established their own cemeteries to fill the need and they are located across the country. Many of these cemeteries are black cemeteries and very significant for just that reason. On this Stones and Bones, we are going to explore a few of these cemeteries.  Intro and Outro music "Stones and Bones" was written and produced by History Goes Bump and any use is strictly prohibited.

Nick Bryant is a journalist and author best known for releasing Jeffrey Epstein's Black Book.Low Value Mail is a live call-in show with some of the most interesting guests the internet has to offer.Every Monday night at 9pm ETSupport The Show:

Although it's tempting to think that Odd Fellowship has been handed down from the past completely unchanged from some visionaries at an ancient building site, that's not the case.  Odd Fellowship has adapted and changed through its history to meet the needs of members and the Order as those needs have changed.  In this episode, Kris Gratz of Virginia shares his research into the developments in Odd Fellows' regalia through the ages and how that has coincided with changes in our ritual and also various cultural cross-currents.  For example, gold fringe on a collar used to indicate that a member had taken the Encampment Degrees.  The number of stars on a collar had a meaning as well.  Joining Kris is his friend and previous podcast guest Nick Curry to talk about some legislation he's working on regarding the future of regalia and suppliers.  The Shoutout goes to the newly-revived River Raisin Encampment #154 of Michigan (our first Shoutout from Michigan!).  In the Odd Podge, Toby previews his upcoming trip to the Northwest IOOF Meeting in Canada, Nick talks about the importance of mentorship in lodges, Mike announces his latest book (available at www.duminiak.com), Kris clues us in to his deep dive on the Odd Fellows' Tartan, and Ainslie updates us on the project to get a stairlift in his lodge hall, as well as reminding us of the upcoming Tattoo Event at Sovereign Grand Lodge.  For those interested in seeing some of the regalia examples discussed in this episode, head over to The Odd Fellows' Guide to see Kris' article and pictures. 

Right here, squaring off, from opposite sides of the Atlantic, we present: Dueling tag-teams of zaniness — wearing fanciful disguises, winking at traditional forms, and tweeting in a birdlike falsetto… Good stuff!BEDAZZLEDThe Faustian satire Bedazzled, created by genius comedian Peter Cook (who plays the Devil trying to bargain for souls), makes good use of the talents of his Chaplin-esque comedy partner, Dudley Moore (who you might remember from the hit films Ten and Arthur), who plays the shlumpy Wimpy Burger cook, Stanley, willing to bargain away his mortal soul for love. The team first worked together in the early 60s smash stage revue BEYOND THE FRINGE, then coalesced on the BBC as Pete and Dud, (and, later, even more darlingly in the scatalogical bootleg recordings of Derek and Clive). In 1966, with Bedazzled they were on the rise commercially, and Moore, an Oxford trained classical and jazz pianist, wrote all the music for the film.  In this cut, entitled Leaping Nuns chorus, the sisters of the Order of Saint Beryl (including Stanley in full habit) show their devotion to the Saint by jumping on trampolines. JAN AND DEAN MEET BATMANAlso in ‘66, laboring secretly on a similar track, energized by the same Goon Show type inspiration, Jan Berry and Dean Torrance were working to expand, (but not abandon) their surf sound by adding a storyline and special effects, and creating some nutty theater of the mind. Who knows where this might have led, if Jan's tragic car collision a few week's after the record's release, (resulting in his massive head injuries), hadn't sidelined the team's ambitions? Perhaps a blockbuster TV series…?There was always a comic element to the Jan and Dean performance style. (Check out the classic Rock concert film Tami Show, which they hosted). They may have looked like copper toned surf hunks, but maybe there was some Abbott and Costello lurking beneath the Golden Boy surface. 

In 2016, an exhibit opened at the American Folk Art Museum showcasing various artifacts from American fraternal orders, most notably the Odd Fellows and Freemasons.  The collection shared the best of fraternal folk art with the wider world.  One of the curators of that exhibition, Dr. Aimee Newell, joined us to talk about the collection and give us some background and history on where the items came from, their significance, and their influence into culture at large.  Once again, the Shoutout goes to a new Encampment, this time the re-chartered Santa Paula #118 of California.  In the Odd Podge, Toby announces the new recording he's working on, Ainslie shares his story of helping save a lodge with an Initiation and meeting a listener, Dr. Newell contemplates returning to her former employer, the Scottish Rite Museum in Lexington, MA, and Mike talks about his most recent publication, an epic poem.

How can you not be drawn in by that title? What the heck? "Join or Die" is a hit documentary playing on Netflix right now. Carl watched the movie and was such a fan of the movie and it's message. It brought back to him some wonderful memories when he was part of a club that he loved -- the Odd Fellows. He was very fortunate and was able to connect with the movie's co-creator, Rebecca Davis. Rebecca was inspired by the work of political scientist and author Robert Putnam, whose earlier work, "Bowling Alone" went viral. Americans had stopped joining clubs and civic organizations. Even the number of dinner parties and picnics had declined. His research showed that those "joining" activities correlated to how Democracy is doing. Rebecca's personal story is an interesting one. She has had a successful career working as a producer with NBC News. "Join or Die" was a passion project for Rebecca. She worked on this film with her brother and co-creator Pete Davis for eight years, working on the movie on weekends and whenever she had time between her busy NBC duties. Initially they were thinking it would be a short Youtube piece, but it grew into what is now an award-winning full-length documentary that is inspiring thousands of people to get off their phones and couches and join or start clubs. You will be totally inspired by this interview and by watching the film. • More about Rebecca Davis: https://www.rebeccadavisvideo.com/  • More about Join or Die: https://www.joinordiefilm.com/  • Episode Content:  https://pickleballmediahq.com/blog/Rebecca-Davis-Interview-Co-Creator-of-Join-or-Die  • Sponsored by Capital Advantage:  https://capitaladvantage.com/promotion/retirement-planning-guide/  • Sponsored by How to Retire and Not Die:  https://garysirak.com/how-to-retire-and-not-die/  • Join the "I Used to be Somebody World Tour":  https://pickleballmediahq.com/tour/  • Subscribe to the "I Used to be Somebody" newsletter:  https://pickleballmediahq.com/contact/subscribe 

Based on the classic holiday film "It's A Wonderful Life," this year's Christmas episode is an Odd Fellows' retelling of the old favorite in which George Bailey is the harried Past Grand of Bedford Falls Lodge #310.  Straining under the weight of his lodge's expectations, he finally breaks and wishes he had never been an Odd Fellow.  The ghost of Thomas Wildey visits him to give him a glimpse into the world where he never joined the lodge.  This episode features an all-star cast including Gil T.

As has become tradition at the Three Links Odd Cast, we like to take a turn to the spooky for Halloween and talk cemeteries.  We're joined by Brother Michael Duplantier to discuss the progress on restoring New Orleans' famous Odd Fellows' Rest Cemetery.  Brother Duplantier does a wonderful job of giving us the history and background on the cemetery and how it fell into disrepair along with the recent efforts to restore it and make it an attractive place to honor our deceased brothers and sisters.  The interview covers a surprising amount of history and culture of New Orleans and the travails of restoring a cemetery that's nearly two centuries old.  The Shoutout goes to Manuel Bosakewich Lodge #70 in Florida, a new Spanish-speaking lodge in the Miami area.  In the Odd Podge, Mike shares the Odd Fellows' connection to West Virginia's Flatwoods Monster, Ainslie previews the tattoo fundraiser at the upcoming Tuscola Odd Market, Michael marvels at how the antiquity of Odd Fellowship is one of its best aspects, and Toby shares a story of his associate lodge helping a brother in need.

Usually, by the time we at the Three Links Odd Cast hear about a new lodge being chartered, it's already meeting regularly.  However, in this instance, we got to talk to Brother Garrett Hite of Oklahoma as he's in the process of re-chartering Durant Lodge #57.  Brother Garrett shares his story of how he first came to join the Odd Fellows, his time away from his home lodge, and the eventual need to form a new lodge in his new home town in Oklahoma.  He gives a great amount of insight into the process of chartering a lodge, from finding a meeting space to rounding up new members.  The Shoutout goes to a new lodge in Arkansas, Heber Springs #17, which was recently re-chartered.  In the Odd Podge, Ainslie talks about his lodge's visit to the drive-in movie theater, Garrett promotes the upcoming car show his home lodge in Texas is working on, and Toby reveals a major life change in the works.SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: Auditions are now open for the Christmas Episode of the Three Links Odd Cast, entitled "It's A Wonderful Lodge."  Anyone interested in auditioning can request a script excerpt and record an audition.  Excerpts can be requested at our email address, 3linksoddcast@gmail.com.  All auditions are due by October 28th so be sure to get the script and record your audition!

Recorded for release W/C 2nd Sept. 2024 This week Martin Fish tells us about the Potting Shed Stage at the Malvern Autumn show, we find out about The Gruffelo, Frankenstein and Coming to England at the Lichfield Garrick, we hear about the dental health campaign from The Hygiene Bank and catch up with the tem from Oddfellows to talk about friendship month.

One might think that after four seasons and over 30,000 downloads of the Three Links Odd Cast that there would be nothing left for the hosts to talk about.  Au contraire, mon frère!  Mike, Toby, and Ainslie are very opinionated and love hearing themselves talk so it was easy for them to take some time to talk about the highlights of the previous season's work.  The main highlight was their Christmas episode which featured a radio play written by Toby and acted by a cast of talented members from around the country.  Other highlights were the on-location recordings of interviews with members including Sovereign Grand Master John Cupp.  Ainslie loved the episode about the film Join Or Die! where we got press credentials to watch the movie and then interview the filmmakers.  Mike loved the stories of lodges that were saved or revitalized.  The Shoutout went to Mineral Lodge #102 of West Virginia which was saved by an effort to get new members and restore the charter.  Toby pulled back the curtain on the show to reveal some personal challenges that have affected production and also shared some big news in his personal life.  For the Odd Podge, Ainslie gave a double helping, talking about his lodge's fundraiser efforts with Fez-o-rama to make Odd Fellows fezzes and his recent trip across the country to attend the Washington Sessions with Toby.  

Hey Listener, grab something black to wear because Amanda Frietsch is back on the show.

We're taking our child casket with us. Cemetery Prison Rules. The future of history. The Oddfellows. Not that symbol. Put me in an unmarked grave. Old Mr. Greenbacks. Crypto Bro Folks. Statue money.

We are joined by Benjamin Fong associate director of the Center for Work & Democracy at Arizona State University, author of Quick Fixes, host of Organize the Unorganized, to talk about his new piece in Damage Magazine on the Odd Fellows.

Secretive Men's organizations –º such as the Free Masons, Elks, Odd Fellows and many more – did not originate just for the sake of privacy. In many cases they had a social purposes such as providing health and security benefits for themselves at a time when neither government nor private enterprise provided much of either. Some groups were also a source of business and social connections. Jari Honora, an historian and genealogist who curated an exhibit for the Historic New Orleans Collection entitled Mystery and Benevolence: Masonic and Odd Fellows Folk Art, joins Louisiana Life Executive Editor Errol Laborde, along with producer Kelly Massicot, to discuss the organizations, which had a strong presence in New Orleans as well as globally. In New Orleans and Mobile the structure of the groups even had an influence on Carnival krewes. The groups also left a strong architectural presence either through their lodges; office buildings and memorial sites. The interview offers a rare opportunity to peer inside the world of secrecy.

Horror fans assemble. Today I am chatting with comics creators Brian Level and Kurt Belcher about their new crowdfunding horror comics project The Unsleeping Eye funding on Kickstarter. The town of Mercurial is under siege from a ghoulish group of Satan worshipping intruders called the Oddfellows. Churches are burned, animals mutilated, and a few folks are producing of all things a newspaper about it all amidst the chaos, but circulation is limited as it seems as though the town is cut off from the rest of the world. If you are a fan of oddball horror, this is the easiest layup of a recommendation you are likely to get from me. I was a backer on day one. Beyond the book itself, we dive into a mutual love of the cult film the Cemetery Man (possibly too much), I drop a recommendation for one of the most diabolical books I've ever read, and we discuss why all Appalachian people have big water cups. They really do. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We talk to Matt Yingling, about The Odd Fellows, becoming healthier and maybe a Blood oath!

Hey Listener, grab your gear bag because I'm sitting down with Heather Sampanis (bass/singer) of Alex Kasznel & The Board of Directors and Luke Effler (guitar) of Ten Gauge to talk about being parents that are in bands. Topics this week include: Check out the Company Picnic Music Festival on March 23rd at Oddfellows in OTR (Cincinnati, Ohio). What is it like to be a band that gets a vinyl album pressed? What is a Costumer? BFAs of the world unite! Hailing from a family with musicians. Power chords for children. Life/Band balance. The differences between being a solo creator and someone working with others. Critiquing your friends. Faster and louder. Playing out and being cool with low standards. What's it like being in the backstage locker room? The tricks of figuring out the name of someone you've already met. Pre show rituals. I'm inspiring you, not intimidating you. Tap dancin' Luke Effler and the karate robot. The heartache of a bad show. Go watch The Greatest Night in Pop.   

Haunted HousesWe went on the first Saturday of October and had a blast. From the horror-themed food to all the different haunted houses, we were totally spooked but made it through 8 out of 10 houses. The houses we thought were the scariest, in order, are as follows: Exorcist Believer, Blood Moon Dark Offerings, The Darkest Deal, Universal Monsters Unmasked, Dr. Odd Fellows Twisted Origins Chucky Ultimate Kill Count, Dueling Dragons Choose Thy Fate, and Yeti Camp Ground Kills. Blood Moon Dark Offerings was about a satanic cult, and The Darkest Deal was bayou-themed. Dr. Odd Fellows Twisted Origins was a twisted spin on clowns and creepy creatures. Our personal favorite was Universal Monsters Unmasked, and the creativity award goes to Dueling Dragons Choose Thy Fate, where I am almost positive I saw the Game of Thrones Night King in there multiple times. Express PassWe recommend splurging on an express pass if you want to make it through all the haunted houses in one night. We missed 2 of the most popular ones, The Last Of Us and Stranger Things 4, which remained between 75 and 90-minute waits. If you have a season pass, you can get a discount on your Halloween Horror Night tickets.Scare ZonesThere were also five trippy and wild scare zones, including vampire hippies, Dr. Odd Fellows' shipyard, jungle monsters, and chainsaw chasers.Tips for Halloween Horror NightsUniversal Studios closes at 5:00 p.m., and the Island of Adventure stays open till 10:00 p.m. If you have a season pass or a day pass, stay in the park for horror nights and go to a holding spot that starts at 5:30 p.m. vs. 6:00 p.m. because the line to get into the park is extremely long.Download the Universal App for all the details on Halloween Horror Nights, park wait times, and more.Always check the Universal App for park hours because they vary by day, season, etc. A note for season pass holders: A season pass acts as an express pass once for each ride after 4:00 p.m.Dress in black to get in the spirit, and try not to scream too loud!

On this episode of the Sofa King Podcast, we talk about the Order of Odd Fellows. This fraternity slash secret society included Charlie Chaplin, Wyatt Earp, Ulysses S Grant, Charles Lindberg, and Franklin D Roosevelt. It was once larger than the Masons. Their goal was to expand friendship, love, and truth to all of humanities. They even acted as a form of insurance for each other before such a concept actually existed, but they had a funny way of doing things. For instance, starting in the 2000s, people all across America discovered dozens of skeletons hidden in abandoned Odd Fellow Lodges, and it turned out that this was a group that protected itself with odd rituals and cryptic codes.   Visit Our Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_Order_of_Odd_Fellows https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/633931/independent-order-odd-fellows-secret-society-skeletons https://odd-fellows.org/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ioof/comments/6hyyx4/my_great_great_grandfather_was_a_odd_fellow_left/ https://occult-world.com/odd-fellows/ https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2001-apr-01-mn-45210-story.html https://socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/eras/grand-united-order-of-odd-fellows-in-america/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odd_Fellows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Howard_Cook
