In the future, the creators hope that new audiences, of all ages, will engage with Freemasonry and that Craftcast becomes the foremost Freemasonry podcast on the market.

Mr Butler, host of Craftcast, says: 'We are delighted to be launching this new project. We will be speaking to a wide variety of guests from across the world of Freemasonry, including the Pro Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of England. We hope the podcast will educate people about our organisation and encourage them to find out more about Freemasonry.'
