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.

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...

"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 Ge...

“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 stabil...

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.

“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 ...

This week, I finally talk about what's going on in my life -- and it all starts with a rock in my shoe. I've been in physical therapy for the past couple months and that has coincided with a depression that has made it hard to do everything, including this podcast. The journey begins in childhood and is ongoing, but here's the story for now. If you'd like to join and participate in The Naked Man community and my umbrella of projects, join my biweekly newsletter Wanderings . In the meantime, plea...

"Am I growing? Am I evolving, reaching my full potential? Am I aware of my full capacity? Do I have hidden talents that I don’t even know I’m good at? Are there things that are there to be uncovered, are there treasures that are waiting to be discovered inside of me that I haven’t found yet?" This week, Andy has a flower essence consultation with Katie Hess, the founder of LOTUSWEI's flower elixirs who simply wants us all to see the magic again. This is the first episode where someone found me, ...

"Do less, but better." This week, Andy returns with a Naked Manologue, except this time it's unscripted, an improvised life update that includes where his podcast headspace is at and where he's been and what he's working on, and why he constantly feels like "The Weary Traveler." This episode chronicles overwhelm, burnout, anxiety, a medication change, a recent trip to Mexico that included getting COVID-19. What was the fallout? The answer involves essentialism and calls to mind a life-changing m...

This week, I’m joined by Better Boys, Better Men author Andrew Reiner to talk about a new masculinity and the lack of male role models. We start our conversation with a PIES check-in, sharing our physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual states. Andrew and I connect over never having a mentor in our career and shared grief over a dear friend.

“I was the only one who wasn’t particularly upset.” This week, I'm uncovering an old interview with my grandma, Nancy B. Greene. It may very well be the origin story, the seed for what would become The Naked Man Podcast. But really, this is Grandma holding court, in her element as an orator, telling her story, which is filled with drama and trauma that she reveals in a matter-of-fact way that only she can. Grandma talks about being an orphan, being adopted, about her birth mom trying to kidnap h...

"If I haven’t found a partner yet, it must be my fault." This week, we dispel that notion once and for all, thanks to my friend and fellow artist, Marissa Flaxbart, who joins us to talk about being single as a hopeless AND hopeful romantic, and her fears and discomfort associated with online dating. We return to our fumbling teenage selves and bond over our shared love of teen drama, and how much we think about romance and even how much we think about thinking about romance. We're inspired not t...

This week, we're talking about making decisions or more accurately, my struggle to do so. My whole life I've been indecisive and that has trickled its way into every part of my day-to-day. But recently, I started taking a Decision Masters course with coach Kirsten Parker and I wanted to share with you how it's helping. What are my core values? What is my vision statement for myself? Why can't I commit to one project? Where does my indecisiveness come from? Why do we get hung up on logistics? Can...

I had been planning on taking a hiatus before starting season 2 of The Naked Man Podcast, but the world intervened and I realized this conversation needed to be released NOW. This week, I'm joined by my friend and THE trans horror historian Logan-Ashley Kisner, three months removed from his top surgery. We talk about Logan's journey -- from when he first started questioning his gender identity and when he first started planning the surgery itself, and what that process was like and how COVID aff...

This week, I record a therapy session with my therapist, who understandably wished to remain anonymous. The result is this unedited peek inside my brain and our personal therapy. I talk about what is on my mind: this very episode (how meta) and the pressure and anxiety I feel about it in the moment. Is it still authentic? Can it be? Is it different? How is it different? What calculations did my therapist have to make before agreeing to do this? Was she nervous to do this too? We discuss my block...

This week, I'm switching things up because the news surrounding Neil Young, Spotify and Joe Rogan wasn't something I could ignore. Can I use Spotify anymore? Personally or for this podcast? Is it simply a choice between what's easy and what's right? Or is something more happening? Why does it feel like I'm grieving? I made a decision that feels right for me, but it was a journey to get there. Here is the story of that journey, which touches on the never-ending moral chess matches we're forced to...

"I am a drug user." This week, I start the new year off with a monologue on drugs inspired by Dr. Carl Hart, a neuroscientist and psychologist at Columbia University who has researched drug use and drug abuse for 30 years. As Hart says, people are going to use drugs, whether they are legal or not. How can we make them safer for EVERYONE? The answer, as always, is honesty. Our dishonesty surrounding our collective drug use "is killing people." I hear you, Dr. Hart, and I agree. So, this is me tal...
