We're born naked, but somewhere along the way we adopt cultural practicality and shame with our bare bodies in public. There are a number of misconceptions about people who find liberation and fulfillment in sharing space naked with others. Guests Nicky Hoffman, Co-Owner of The Naturist Society and editor of N Magazine as well as Scot, a member of the Heartland Naturist, join Central Standard to help explore these questions and give us a more complete picture of nudists and their lifestyle.

Susan B. Wilson

A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Susan admits that her “first love” was radio, being an avid listener since childhood. However, she spent much of her career in mental health, healthcare administration, and sports psychology (Susan holds a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Bloch School of Business at UMKC.) In the meantime, Wilson satisfied her journalistic cravings by doing public speaking, providing “expert” interviews for local television, and being a guest commentator/contributor to KPRS’s morning drive time show and the teen talk show “Generation Rap.”
