“When I joined therapy, [foreskin] was what I was most scared to talk about. I was shaking.” This week, Andy is joined by Georganne Chapin, Founding Executive Director of Intact America, and Willy Kaye, a circumcision survivor, to discuss the history and myths surrounding the very American medical procedure of circumcision. We start by taking a 12 question True/False quiz about circumcision, foreskin and the science around it. From there, we talk about Willy’s trauma for having a circumcision and Andy’s trauma around not having one, and the shame and irony that boys and men everywhere, intact or not, are uncomfortable to talk about this issue. But it’s time to talk about it. PLUS! -did the guy (Dr. Kellogg) who invented corn flakes popularize circumcision to prevent masturbation? -is this all about money? (yes.) -what is the intactivism movement? -how circumcisions took doctors and rooms away from COVID-19 patients -how the medical industry doesn’t take a stance on this issue and puts the burden and pressure on the parents Watch this episode on YOUTUBE: ⁠https://youtu.be/AnoEzOBh4Xs⁠ Guests Socials Intact America Website Willy Kaye’s Rolfing Website Order This Penis Business by Georganne Chapin Instagram: ⁠@intactamerica TikTok: ⁠@intactamerica Show Socials Instagram: ⁠@nakedmanpod⁠  TikTok: ⁠@nakedmanpod⁠ Andy: ⁠@wanderinggreene⁠ The Naked Man Podcast is edited and produced by Freddie Beckley and hosted by Andy Greene.

“You don't have to be the best one when you're 22 or the best one when you're 32. You don't have to be anyone's favorite. You just have to be proud of yourself for yourself.” This week, Andy is joined by actor and singer Indigo Dai, Marlon Meikle’s drag persona, to explore gender non-conformity and our gender identities. To do so, the drag queen takes the wheel as Indigo leads Andy and all of us through an interactive writing exercise that urges us to reconnect with our inner child. Play along!

Hi friends, I’m Andy Greene… and I’m The Naked Man.  The Naked Man Podcast is my journey of vulnerability, to reconnect with my body and rediscover the child inside. In our first two seasons, we read my birth chart, we spoke to my ancestors, we even met my therapist.  Now, in our third season, I’m peeling back even more layers.  I’m being coached on intuitive eating. I’m confronting my shame about not having a circumcision. I’m trying to figure out who I am without gender as a crutch. …because this is The Naked Man Podcast.

"Almost every moment I’ve been hurt or that I’ve hurt others has come when I was trying to act like a man or how I thought a man was supposed to act, or when I was acting differently than a man should." This week, I talk about a fateful journey to the bookstore and identifying as gender nonconforming. This tale touches upon the frightful nature of all-male spaces, shame, privilege, King David and the Underground Rave, Christmastime jewelry and the power of sampler trays.  References Beyond the Gender Binary by Alok Vaid-Menon Alok on the 'Man Enough' Podcast --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nakedmanpod/support

“You're here to transform yourself.” This week, Danny Santos (@santoscrystalvisions) AKA the Astro Daddy reads my astrological chart. Danny Santos is an archetypal astrologer on a mission to become an ayahuasca shaman. So yeah, he's rad. The result is a deeper dive into astrology that uncovers where I've been, what I'm good at, what I need to work on, and what my DESTINY is. It's a lot.  We see why I love quality, nature, food, art and music, appreciating things as they are. Why I desire stability. Why my soul can't develop any further through the Taurus perspective. How my Scorpio Rising indicates a need to go underneath, inward. We uncover my potent karma, to be the friggin' Grim Reaper of my bloodline on a mission to heal ancestral trauma. We uncover a wounded sense of boundaries that has been around early in life. I learn that I'm "an incredibly Venus-oriented person" and that I have a lot of healing/work to do in the fields of eroticism, sensuality and sexuality that has long been infected by shame. I start that work in this episode, revealing my primary wound. Who was I in a past life? Why does travel help me? What are my destiny signs? (Spoilers: PISCES and LEO, call me.) Why do I need to learn how to dream? Why the hell does improv come up? How does my mom fit into the equation? What is up with my gut? How is 'Daddy' part of my destiny? Take a trip with Danny and I through "the proponents of the universe," the stars.  "This is what weaves our universe together." - Danny Santos.

This week, I'm joined by actor-carpenter-podcaster David Marlowe (@dwmarlowe) of the Shudder Show to discuss his experiences and struggles with ADHD. Starting with an ADHD diagnosis in second grade, David chronicles a lifelong tale of stigmas and over-explaining that has necessitated a bushel of metaphors at his disposal. David relates a difficult college experience after he went off meds, how his walls are up when it comes to conversations revolving around mental health in a blue collar workplace and how South Park did ADHD a disservice. While "pills don't make skills," we also bemoan the heartbreaking travails with health insurance and the difficulties in getting Adderall.  References How to ADHD YouTube Channel Driven to Distraction Book ADHD ReWired Podcast Hacking Your ADHD Podcast I Have ADHD Podcast --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/nakedmanpod/support

"Self-care is the opening towards a spiritual practice and the key to healing." This week I'm joined by picture book writer-illustrator and oracle Priyanka Vashee (@gulabimagic) to talk about her spiritual journey, my spirit guides, the difficulty and power of shifting mindsets and our paths to finding picture books, and subsequently, each other. We talk about Captain Bartlett, the leader of Andy's spirit council, and the joyful afterlife. We change roles, as the ever-caring, empathetic and understanding Priyanka plays host to a dose of Andy therapy. We also discuss Priyanka's "breathless" experience with COVID, her career change, the shame and embarrassment associated with difficult things and "psychic stuff." Is a technical glitch really spiritual intervention? How did Priyanka's journey start with a terrible palm reading? Why is it so hard to believe in yourself when that is so clearly the thing we need most? We attempt to explore these questions and more.

“I just started to hear this voice in my head that was like, ‘You can do this. You are capable.’ It was the first time that I can remember hearing a voice like that in my head.” This week I’m joined by comedian and filmmaker Monica Andrade (@vape__sommelier) to discuss their journey to sobriety. Oftentimes the decision to get sober is where the discussion ends, but as Monica tells us, it’s the start of a new story, and it’s a difficult path. At the time of this conversation, Monica is less than a month sober – this is raw and immediate and Monica’s strength imbues every word they speak. Monica relates their trial and error experiences with getting clean and what they’ve learned about themselves along the way. We talk about powerlessness and the overwhelm. We talk about how substances were a way to control emotions and feelings and the need to be present, to find joy in the boring, small moments home alone. We discuss decision fatigue and how the decision to be sober isn’t just one decision, but an infinite number, and how long it takes for the urges to lessen. We end on the story of a fateful whitewater rafting trip that awakened a powerful voice within them. Please rate, subscribe and tell your friends. Listen to Monica’s Mixtape! If you’re out there, scared and struggling with your sobriety, please know you’re not alone and you matter.
