Weekly Wrap: Mar 29
This week on Planet Nude: Resistance at Denny Blaine, a new News of the Nude, deep dives on body image, and more fresh podcasts
Welcome to our 65th Weekly Wrap.
The world feels increasingly absurd—censorship, control, and conflict swirling at every level. But as the weather warms, there’s still refuge to be found in nature, in community, and in stories that remind us of our shared humanity. This week, Planet Nude brings you the latest grassroots efforts to defend body freedom at Seattle’s Denny Blaine, a new edition of News of the Nude, and thoughtful podcast episodes exploring healing, vulnerability, and the future of naturism. Amid the noise, these stories offer space to breathe.

This week on Planet Nude 🪐
This month’s News of the Nude rounds up stories of resistance, celebration, and cultural tension around the world. From public nudity debates in Germany and the UK to protest art on London’s bridges and naturist retreats blossoming in Scotland, March reminds us that body freedom is both deeply personal and inherently political. With a global lens, this edition reflects how nudity continues to challenge taboos, inspire community, and provoke important conversations across borders.
Seattle’s Denny Blaine Park has long been a cherished queer and clothing-optional haven, but it’s once again under threat. With new calls to install a park ranger, activists fear a fresh attempt to surveil and sanitize the space. In this piece, Planet Nude shares an impassioned statement from FODB co-organizer Sophie Amity Debs, who argues that nudists don’t need policing—they need respect.
In this #UndressedThread, we invite readers to reflect on the body parts that bring them joy, meaning, or memory. Whether it’s your shoulders, toes, freckles, or scars—what part of you do you cherish the most, and why? A celebration of embodiment, self-love, and nuance, this thread opens the door to beautiful reflections on the human form.

Podcasts this week 🎧
In episode 40 of the New Nudist Podcast, host Scott Cline welcomes James Nunn, Board Treasurer of The Naturist Society Foundation, for a candid discussion on the role of TNSF and the evolving landscape of naturism. The episode also features a conversation with Evan from Planet Nude, diving into some of the cultural flashpoints and questions shaping today’s nudist movement.
In this deeply personal and poetic podcast series, Kerry Kott returns with four new episodes that explore vulnerability, body wisdom, and emotional healing through the lens of nudity and nature. From confronting fears of being seen to embracing the symbolic teachings of the rose, Kerry’s reflections invite listeners—especially women—to reclaim intimacy with their own bodies and uncover the inner guidance woven into discomfort. With her blend of storytelling and somatic insight, Kerry offers gentle, transformative tools for embodied self-discovery.
In this episode of Naked Age, we meet Dr. Vian Aziz, a woman who broke free from the constraints of her conservative upbringing in Iraq to embrace a life of naturism and body freedom. Through personal loss, cultural transformation, and deep self-exploration, Vian’s story becomes a powerful portrait of resilience, liberation, and the radical act of reclaiming one’s own body. A compelling and deeply human profile that speaks to the global reach of the naturist movement.
