New podcasts this week 🎧
The Naturist Vibe
This episode of The Naturist Vibe tackles the complex and unsettling story of Sean "Diddy" Combs through the lens of Ethical Naturism. Hosts Dan and Gabby break down the 50 Cent-produced documentary Sean Combs: The Reckoning, dissecting how power, celebrity, and silence can enable exploitation. They explore the disturbing parallels between Combs' alleged behavior and patterns seen in naturist spaces where status is used to bypass boundaries and accountability.
From the tragic events at the City College of New York charity game to the explosive East Coast-West Coast rivalry, the episode examines how a culture of control and intimidation was built under the guise of success. It is a raw look at what happens when a community values image over integrity and a call to dismantle the structures that protect abusers, no matter how famous they are. Tune in for Part 1 of "Diddy Do It? He Sure Did!"

Naked, Nudists, and Naturists
In Episode 153, Frank and Lisa discussed how they spent the holidays, and the conversation turned to overindulging in sweets. They also gave an update on the Blind Creek incident. Guest Karen Lisa Seeber of Great – Full – Heart is a Quantum Energy Artist, Metaphysical Minister, and Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki Master. In the first part of their interview, Karen spoke with Frank about her first foray into naturism, which came when she accepted an invitation to visit a nudist resort. Karen remarked that the experience felt so natural to her that she fell asleep on the grass, comfortable with nature on her skin, and that she believes naturism aligns with her spiritual philosophy.
