StarCast, The Official Podcast of Star Ranch Nudist Club

The World Naked Bike Ride is a very popular naturist event. This series of rides happens annually in cities all across the country. Mike and Linda from Star Ranch loaded up their E-bikes and traveled from Texas to St. Louis to participate in that city's ride. They tell us what it was like to pedal clothes-free through a city that rolls out the welcome mat for nudists. Mike and Linda are also very active in the Christian Naturists group and give us a recap of that group's visit to Star Ranch this past summer!

Like many, Jonathan discovered Star Ranch during one of our twice-yearly 5K clothing-optional runs! Initially, his wife Gini was hesitant to join him at the ranch, but eventually agreed to give it a try. On her first visit, she remained dressed as she lounged by the pool, but it wasn't long before she was comfortable enough to shed her clothes and join in on the fun! Hear Jon and Gini talk about how joining Star Ranch helped bring these new empty-nesters closer together as a couple, and a few amusing stories about how they broke the news to their kids, other family members and friends!

By the way, our next Chilly Cheeks clothing-optional 5K run is coming up on Saturday, October 5th, 2024. A race t-shirt is included in your registration. Wear it the next time you are out to dinner with some of your non-nudist friends! It's a real conversation starter!!  Register now at www.StarRanch.net.

This is a very different, and very special episode of StarCast. It goes without saying that we are a family here at Star Ranch. And when one member of our tight knit community faces a serious challenge, it impacts us all. Today, our host Mark talks with Steven about his diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML), a type of life-threatening blood cancer that causes the bone marrow to produce abnormal blood cells. Hear about how Steven and his supportive wife faced the leukemia head on, and about their long journey to recovery and getting back to their friends at the Ranch and the clothes-free life they love so much. It's a must listen with some very good advice for anyone who has had their life turned upside down by cancer.

Everyone discovers Star Ranch in their own unique way. For Rhum, that discovery came while he was working the Renaissance Festival circuit at Sherwood Forest Faire just down the road and needed a place to stay for a few weeks. He ended up loving the Ranch so much, that he is now a full-time resident and just recently joined the Star Ranch Council, helping to interview potential new members and planning activities for members and visitors alike!

Today's StarCast has a bit of an international flair! Long ago, an employment opportunity took Don & Mary Anne to Germany. There, they were able to experience something called FKK (Freikörperkultur)...which roughly translates into 'Free Body Culture'. Thanks to careful planning, they were able to retire early and return to the U.S. Good friends pointed them in the direction of San Antonio and the Texas Hill Country, and before long, they discovered Star Ranch just east of Austin, a club that embraces the same family-friendly nude recreation they enjoyed in Germany. In today's episode, learn about FKK and how that experience changed their lives!
