Episode 9 - A Progressive Master And His Lodge

Episode 9 of Asphalt & Aprons sees Trog & Donkey sit down with RWM Mark McCluskey of Lodge St Leonard Loanhead & Lasswade No. 580 for a fascinating conversation about leadership, tradition, and modern Freemasonry. Known across Midlothian and well respected throughout the west, Mark has earned a reputation as one of the most active and progressive Masters around. Passionate about promoting Freemasonry both inside and outside the lodge room, he shares his thoughts on bringing fresh ideas into the Craft while still maintaining the traditions and values that Freemasonry is built upon. The episode explores lodge culture, brotherhood, attracting new members, supporting existing brethren, and the importance of keeping Freemasonry visible and relevant in today’s world. This is an honest and engaging discussion about balancing tradition with progression, and the role a modern Master can play in shaping the future of his lodge and the wider Craft.

Episode 7 - Fight That Matters Isn’t In The Ring

Alright, alright—settle in, grab a brew… or don’t, we’re not your dad. Welcome back to the podcast—where the roads are long, the conversations are questionable, and somehow we still end up learning something. Today’s episode? Bit of a mad one, to be honest. We’ve got Pawel Zakrzewski in the hot seat—co-founder of the Edinburgh Combat Project, steward at Lodge Colinton and Currie No. 1092, and riding with the Widows Sons Solomon’s Guard Masonic crew. So yeah… not exactly a man who’s got “free time” pencilled into the diary. This is a guy who’s out here building fighters, building people, building a charity—and still somehow finding time to throw a leg over a motorbike and disappear down the road like he’s got nowhere to be… even though he’s got about twelve places to be. And the thing is—he’s not just busy for the sake of it. There’s purpose behind it. Proper drive. The kind that makes you feel like maybe you should’ve done more with your morning than scroll your phone for an hour. We get into all of it—the graft behind growing something that actually helps people, the brotherhood side of things, the bikes, the mindset… and how on earth he manages to stitch it all together without completely losing the plot. So yeah—if you’ve ever wondered how someone balances fighting, charity, personal growth, and a love of two wheels… stick around. This one’s a belter. Let’s get into it.
