The Masonic Shelf Podcast

Join Brad Kohanke — a Freemason affiliated with both the Grand Lodge of Arkansas and Texas — and fellow Texas Mason Chris Williams as they crack open the hidden pages of Masonic and esoteric literature in The Masonic Shelf, a podcast for curious Brothers and seekers of deeper light. Each episode features honest, insightful, and often humorous reviews of books that have shaped Masonic thought, from timeless classics to modern explorations of symbolism, ritual, philosophy, and the Craft's evolving role in the world. Whether you're a newly raised Brother or a seasoned student of the mysteries, Brad and Chris bring thoughtful analysis, historical context, and a down-to-earth Texas perspective to help you build your own Masonic library — one book at a time.
