  • Summary

  • Laura and Rachel are taking a little break for the rest of the summer but we will be back in October with all new episodes of Impolite Society! In the meantime, enjoy these re-releases of some of our most popular episodes.

    How did our birthday suits go from our natural state to being a crime? We expose the history of clothing and get to the naked truth of why nudity is so taboo in today’s episode of Impolite Society.
