In today's episode, we get a history of the terms "nudist" and "naturist" with one of the rockstars of the nudism and naturism world: Stéphane Deschênes. He's the host of The Naturist Living Show podcast and the owner of Bare Oaks Family Naturist Park in Canada. We'll also hear from the Naked Wandering blog with "14 Ideas to Enjoy Being Nude at Home While Social Distancing."
