A podcast about naturism for naturists (nudism and nudists to some people) While we obviously cover issues related to nudity, naturism is about much more than being naked so we cover topics related to self-esteem, body-image, body-acceptance, and living in a more natural way. The podcast is produced by Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park in Ontario, Canada.

    Ivy Insights

    The Naturist Living Show podcast is an incredibly informative and well-produced podcast that explores the world of naturism and nudism. Hosted by Stéphane Deschênes, who is a naturist himself and owner of a nudist resort in Canada, the podcast offers a wealth of knowledge about the naturist lifestyle. With its well-planned episodes and thoughtful discussions, it provides listeners with valuable insights into not only the practice of naturism but also the underlying values and ethics that drive it.

    One of the best aspects of The Naturist Living Show podcast is its ability to challenge listeners' preconceived notions about nudity and naturism. Through engaging interviews with experts and personal stories from naturists themselves, the podcast sheds light on topics such as gender equality, body acceptance, and the psychological benefits of nudity. It encourages listeners to rethink how they present themselves as naturists and promotes a more inclusive and ethical approach to the lifestyle. The podcast also covers crucial topics related to the naturist lifestyle, providing advice and guidance for those interested in adopting this way of life.

    However, one drawback of The Naturist Living Show podcast is that there can be long gaps between episodes. While the wait for new episodes is worth it when they finally arrive, it can be frustrating for avid listeners who want to consume more content on a regular basis. Additionally, some listeners have requested specific episodes on topics such as transgender people who are nudists, which have not yet been covered. It would be beneficial for the podcast to address these requests in order to provide a comprehensive exploration of different perspectives within the naturist community.

    In conclusion, The Naturist Living Show podcast is an invaluable resource for both experienced naturists and those curious about exploring this way of life. Through its informative discussions and thought-provoking content, it helps listeners understand the importance of naturist values and challenges societal norms surrounding nudity. Despite occasional delays between episodes, this podcast is a must-listen for anyone interested in learning about the naturist lifestyle and its many benefits.

    Getting media coverage is very easy for naturists. Journalists love to expose us because it gets great ratings and lots of clicks. For naturism it provides a lot of great publicity.

    Naturists are constantly censored in social media. Naturism itself gets lumped in with pornography despite the fact that Naturists oppose it, fight for body acceptance, against hypersexualization, and are trying to stop the objectification of the naked form. Yet social media censorship is increasing. "Community Standards" are ethnocentric, vague, and inconsistently applied. There seems to be one set of rules for celebrities and big advertisers; another for Naturists. When rules are erroneously applied there is essentially no appeal process.
