We're just back from an amazing Caribbean cruise aboard the Bare Necessities "Big Nude Boat 2025"! It's not only a great way to see the world, but also a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with old friends and make new ones! Over the next few weeks, we'll be bringing you several podcasts that we recorded while onboard the ship. Today, we meet Sharon, a good friend of two of our Star Ranch members, Bob & Nancy. Sharon tells us how easy it is to start your own non-landed nudist club. Plus, she shares stories about her journey on the BNB 2025 and of a recent cruise to Antarctica!

Gail is a single lady who has been a resident at Star Ranch for 15 years! During that time, she's seen some big changes here at the Ranch. On today's StarCast, Gail speaks about how attitudes in the general public have changed over the years when it comes to nudists and about how most are much more accepting these days when she tells people that she lives at a nudist resort! Gail is also a tireless volunteer on the Star Ranch food committee. She cooks up some fantastic meals for our members and guests, often to help raise money for improvements such as our new pickleball courts!

The World Naked Bike Ride is a very popular naturist event. This series of rides happens annually in cities all across the country.

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.
