Welcome to the Naturist Podcast! Jeremy and I live in a clothing-optional intentional (tiny) living community on 40 acres 45 minutes outside of Seattle. It’s bizarre! And weird! And totally awesome.  But the SUPER interesting thing about where we live: it’s a 501c(7) Social Club. We live at a Clothing-Optional Social Club + Intentional Living Community. How rad is that? Jeremy is head of the Forestry Committee and I’m the head of the Park Planning Committee. Let us show you around!  /// In our first of two documentary episodes, We hit up Oregon Hot Springs stopping in Bend, OR a ..read more

WHAT HAS INSPIRED YOU ON THIS ROAD TRIP? Honestly, our community. I don’t feel alone at all on this trip. I mean, I’m not a robot but I don’t have time to feel alone because I always have my naked friends a key stroke away. It’s awesome.    The investigative reporter in me felt a deep satisfaction by quote unquote getting the Jacumba story. That was fun. As you get older there’s less milestones in life so being able to fulfull a bucket list road trip and get a story is always really satisfying. And, it’s a story that matters to my community so I was really happy to deliver it, even i ..read more

We read Three Skinny Dipper Club Community Member Essays and Discuss! We hear from a Body Positive/Sex-positive gay man  Jeremy identified with this essay as he first experienced nude spaces in Seattle with a group of men, most of whom identified as gay or bi. Nudist sex-positive couple living in the post-religious stage of their life now. Mandy really identified with their essay as Mandy was raised with a Lutheran Mother. Queer/Poly Naturist  Great essay on consent - this one hit Mandy and Jeremy close to home and so we wanted to close with her essay. Enjoy ..read more

A few years back, when Jeremy was a nudist and I was not, he really wanted to go to this nude place in the DR. He literally threw $600 at me and took off as fast as he could when I told him to just go and have his spiritual awakening by himself. (I spent it all on edibles.) Grab a beverage and enjoy this delightful audio vacation!   New podcasts drop Friday show notes, watch or listen, subscribe www.NaturistPodcast.com ..read more

We’ve had a lot of new folks in our community that are newbs and we want to help you out so you don’t get arrested!   So, how do I know if it’s legal to be nude on public lands? Well, that’s not the easiest question to answer without research.   LISTEN TO THIS IMPORTANT HALF HOUR EPISODE   One of the things I love about our community is the spirit of helping other people out. Recently we had someone ask about the laws in the state of Arkansas. With a little help from our network of Skinny Dipper friends, we quickly discovered that laws around public nudity in Arkansas are some o ..read more

This should really be called the “I need a goddamn vacation podcast”  A few weeks back Jeremy and I started having a conversation around midnight and I recorded it because it seemed interesting. I just listened to it again and it is! Are you or someone you love suffering from Covid Fatigue? Are you possibly not getting enough time naked in nature?  Covid Fatigue is real, and a lot of us in our Skinny Dipper Community are suffering from it.  Listen to this super relevant podcast on Covid Naturist Fatigue ?   New podcasts drop Friday show notes, watch or listen, subscribe www ..read more

In this episode, we talk about how racism and homophobia is embedded into so many institutions and the idea that it’s like baking a cake with salt instead of sugar. It just simply doesn’t work and you have to throw it out.  We are investing our time in recruiting talent to lead the Global Naturist Alliance which will set the mission, vision, and values of the naturist community worldwide. It will have a Social Justice Arm to it that we haven’t yet seen in most organizations and associations.   We threw out the old recipe and are creating a new one.  we will fight for Safe Space ..read more

We have a stigma problem in the U S that revolves around the nudist and we talked to Hector about this. It starts with our largest organization being racist and homophobic in the States. They share porn photos in their newsletter and on their social media feed. That's a problem.   New podcasts drop Friday show notes, watch or listen, subscribe www.NaturistPodcast.com ..read more

While we were in Palm Springs two weeks back we recorded our Podcast LIVE! On How to throw Safe Skinny Dipper Events. We cover: What do diversity and inclusion really mean? What do people look for when wanting to know if a nude space is safe for them? What kind of language and imagery are you using that may be triggering or off-putting ..read more

I have to admit, this particular podcast was hard. I talk a lot about online triggers. It was hard to talk about because I see so many people in this space be dismissive of the online experience of others. We need better leadership in the nudist space. I’m ready for change. Are you?
