Episode 535
Thursday, 13 November, 2025

Few symbols are as instantly recognizable—or as deeply meaningful—as the Square and Compasses. This week, the hosts explore the layers of symbolism behind Freemasonry's most iconic emblem.

Whether you're a newly initiated Brother or a seasoned student of symbolism, this episode offers new light on a familiar design.
