In the March episode of the Fraternal Review podcast, editor-in-chief Bro. Angel Millar discusses the 2023 editorial calendar, as well as what makes the magazine so unique and what to look forward to in the year ahead. Below are some choice quotes from the episode.
"We're building on the strengths of the previous year. We are going back a little bit to look at practical and everyday issues such as leadership in Freemasonry. It's a very holistic approach and one that will hopefully spark ideas and enthusiasm in readers as well.”
“Fraternal Review is different from other Masonic magazines and publications and journals. We are of working on a whole range of themes. There's no historical connection between Fight Club and Freemasonry, but I would say that we are living today in our own time with its own aesthetics, challenges, possibilities, and potential, so that has to be a practical focus.”
“The Fraternal Review aims to deliver on the idea of continuing a living tradition. The magazine's most recent issue was the best-selling one in the history of The Fraternal Review. For the fraternity to remain alive, what you need is more than history. Anyone can write histories. We need to live today and see what's going on and be involved in the world as it is, and find reflections. I've never seen another article on Freemasonry and punk or anything like that. And we've managed to create an entire issue about that.”
“We have themes for the upcoming year, ranging from Rosa Crucian and Free Masonry to Masonic Origins and the Knights Templar Fringe Masonry part two. We’re looking at all kinds of material that don’t usually get much of a look.”
