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...

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...

"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...

“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...

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.

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 sta...

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...

"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 elixir...

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. We try to distance ourselves from that inner voic...

"Don’t be afraid to look shame in the face and tell it to fuck off."  This week, we get magical as spiritual guide and tarot reader CIRCE gives me a reading. Three readings, in fact, using The Fountain Tarot Deck (created by Jonathan Saiz, written by Jason Gruhl and designed by Andi Todaro). We do a Past, Present and Future reading surrounding finances. We do a What I Want vs. What I Need rea...

“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...

"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...

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 co...

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...

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...

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.&nbsp...
