    Vermont redraws the line

    For decades, Vermont has stood apart for its unusually permissive approach to public nudity. A new bill in the state legislature would end that era. This episode tracks the introduction of House Bill H.683, which proposes a statewide criminal ban on public nudity, including on private property visible from public spaces. As local restrictions give way to a broader legal shift, the measure raises questions about civil liberties, local control, and how quickly long-standing norms can be rewritten through statutory language. 🪐 More at www.planetnude.co This is a public episode.

    When the lights go out at Olive Dell

    A long-running conflict at one of Southern California’s oldest nudist communities has taken a sharper turn. As residents of Olive Dell Ranch report electricity shutoffs affecting homes, medical devices, and basic utilities, a legal battle over clothing rules and tenant rights moves into more dangerous territory. This episode documents the latest developments in a dispute that blends housing law, disability access, and the slow unraveling of a historic naturist space—now headed toward a critical court date. 🪐 More at www.planetnude.co This is a public episode.

    When every body is on display

    Naturist spaces promise relief from judgment—but that promise can fray when unspoken standards creep in. This episode listens closely to how body positivity, despite its good intentions, can quietly reproduce pressure and exclusion, especially around weight and health. By centering body neutrality instead, the essay reframes nudity as an experiential practice rather than a visual one, asking what it really means to share space without appraisal when every body is visible. 🪐 Read the original article at www(dot)planetnude(dot)co This is a public episode.

    Revisiting the sun-drenched nudist camp detective mystery

    A forgotten Virgil Tibbs novel drops the famously restrained detective into an unlikely setting: a Southern California nudist camp at the height of America’s mid-century nudist boom. In this episode of the Planet Nude podcast, we revisit The Cool Cottontail as both pulp mystery and cultural time capsule, following Tibbs through sun-bleached pools, polite prejudices, and a world imagined by an author who knew organized nudism from the inside. The result is a relaxed but revealing listen about race, respectability, and the strange places nudism has quietly surfaced in American popular fiction. 🪐Read the original article at www(dot)planetnude(dot)co This is a public episode.

    Naked kaiju women I've known

    Brett Marcella traces a curious pattern he’s noticed in recent comics, where women grow to kaiju size, shed their clothes, and find themselves at the center of both the action and the reaction that follows. Moving from mainstream titles to an indie standout, the article looks at how nudity shifts from a passing gag to a deliberate theme, touching on power, spectacle, public judgment, and what it means to stand exposed—literally and figuratively—while saving a city.

    Men are from Mars, Gurley is from Venus

    An eccentric prophet, a naked Eden in the Everglades, and a man who claimed to have visited Venus. This episode excerpt from Nudetopian Nightmares traces the strange, contradictory life of Floyd M. Gurley, a figure who fused Christian fundamentalism, naturism, vegetarianism, and cosmic prophecy at the fringes of American nudist history. Pulled from Olaf Danielson’s latest archival deep dive, the story offers a vivid glimpse into a forgotten world where utopian belief, nudity, and delusion often shared the same ground. 🪐 www.planetnude.co This is a public episode.

    Remembering Bruce Frendahl

    A tribute to Bruce Frendahl, a longtime Florida nudist organizer and advocate whose writing and leadership helped affirm that public nudity is lawful, nonsexual, and part of ordinary civic life. From free beach battles to civil liberties fights across the state, Frendahl spent decades challenging selective enforcement and moral panic with persistence, clarity, and care.Read the original article at www(dot)planetnude(dot)co This is a public episode.
