    The Science of Growing Up Naked
    Mar 25 2024

    In this episode, we look at the history of empirical studies into the effects of growing up in naturist environments with Mark Storey, a nudist historian and philosophy professor. Then we meet Dennis Craig Smith, the writer of Growing Up Without Shame, the 1986 book that was the result of a survey of adults who had grown up in nudist-friendly households.
