She's captured the nation's heart in the Big Brother house - and now, she's telling all. Unfiltered and unapologetic. Twinks Burnett is our guest on this special episode of The Pieces.
Stylist, performer, activist and the runner-up of Big Brother UK 2026 - who came within 1.3% of winning - Twinks has built a career on self-expression, emotional intelligence and the refusal to dim her light. Twinks entered the iconic house as a late arrival and immediately became the catalyst that dismantled toxic hierarchies and sparked conversations no one else was brave enough to have.
From advocating fiercely for trans rights and feminist causes to standing up for marginalized communities, she proved that you can be whimsical, glamorous and politically engaged all at once.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Twinks discuss the isolation of entering Big Brother as a late arrival, the shocking moment when crowd cheers shifted the entire house dynamic, and how emotional intelligence became her superpower when defusing conflict with housemates.
The conversation tackles being the only voice advocating for trans people in a very big room, the fear people had of her for being bold and refusing to conform, and the double standards she faced for trying to do nice things.
Twinks shares the surreal experience of coming out to find signs with her name everywhere, the overwhelming response from her friends and chosen family, and coming second place to 1.3% — a result that feels like a baptism of fire but also proof that the public sees her.

Demitri Rodriguez is a trans activist, content creator and one of the first openly trans men to speak publicly about surviving conversion therapy without anonymity.
From his background in the prison service to becoming a vocal presence in spaces that typically oppose trans rights, Demitri has built a career on visibility, unflinching honesty and the refusal to be palatable for mainstream consumption.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Demitri dive into the formative moment that shaped everything while working in the prison service, his ground-breaking appearance on BBC Three as the first openly trans man on a reality TV show mid-transition, the vulnerability of having to come out repeatedly on camera, and the systemic erasure of trans content from the BBC.
Demitri shares his harrowing experience as a conversion therapy survivor at 15, his decision to speak publicly without anonymity to push for a ban, and the lack of community support he received afterward - a pattern he now sees repeating with other traumatized trans people.
They also explore the complications of passing privilege, a strip search incident by police and why Demitri chooses to enter right-wing spaces despite criticism.

Notas del episodio
Lucy May Dawson is a disability advocate and survivor whose story of resilience against medical negligence has become a rallying cry for disabled women everywhere.
At 20, she contracted the anti-NMDA receptor autoimmune encephalitis - a treatable brain disease - but was misdiagnosed as having a psychiatric breakdown and sectioned involuntarily in a psychiatric ward for three months. During that hospitalisation, hospital negligence resulted in a third-degree burn to her sciatic nerve from an uncaged radiator pipe, permanently paralyzing her lower left leg.
What followed was a devastating decade of medical gaslighting, financial abandonment by the welfare system, and the journey to rebuild an entire life from scratch. Today, Lucy uses her platform to expose medical misogyny, celebrate disabled sexuality, and prove that a life that’s changed doesn’t have to mean a life that’s over.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Lucy dive into the formative moment that changed everything and the shocking reality that medical conditions are routinely misdiagnosed as hysteria in young women.
They explore the systemic failures that left Lucy permanently disabled, and the turning point when she realized she had a voice to use for those who lost theirs.
The conversation tackles medical misogyny head-on, exploring how symptoms are dismissed as a mental health crisis when a young man with identical symptoms would likely receive immediate testing. Lucy also shares the vulnerability of being fetishized as a disabled woman, her period on OnlyFans as a survival mechanism when the NHS abandoned her, and how she’s reclaimed her body and sexuality on her own terms.

Parson James is a singer-songwriter from South Carolina who has become one of music’s most distinctive and authentic voices.
Born Ashton Parson in a town of 5,000 people, he created an iconic visual identity — a high fashion cowboy priest aesthetic complete with cross earrings and boots — that reflects his unique blend of Southern roots, queer spirituality and artistic rebellion. His music has passed over a billion streams (including a collaboration with the producer Kygo) and he has a new single "Love Right Here" with Emeli Sande, out now.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Parson James dive into the formative moment that shaped his entire life and how it gave him a feeling of "rightness" that has guided him ever since.
They discuss growing up in a hostile environment where Parson learned to mould himself to make everyone around him feel safe, and the journey of finally protecting himself by moving to New York at 17.
Parson also shares the vulnerability of coming out to his mom, the magic of working underage at burlesque venues, meeting Lady Gaga and the miraculous chain of events that followed - including stories from his time on American Idol and his performance at the Nobel Peace Prize concert.

Hannah Reilly is an Australian writer, director, performer and creative force who has built a career on unflinching storytelling and the transformative power of art.
From her early work in comedy to writing and performing her own original theatrical work, Hannah has carved out a space where she can explore the messy, uncomfortable, deeply human truths that make us who we are.
Her critically acclaimed play ROLEPLAY marks a bold shift from comedy into drama, proving that Hannah is unafraid to make an audience sit in uncomfortable silence if that's what the story demands.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Hannah dive into the formative moment that sparked everything and made her want to capture the kind of storytelling that transforms you.
They discuss the journey from performing comedy to writing drama, the challenge of making an audience uncomfortable, and why she had to learn that silence isn't failure, it's the correct response to tragedy.
The conversation touches on keeping parts of your life private in an age of constant oversharing, how the permanence of the internet holds people accountable for opinions they had ten years ago, and the double standard of cancel culture when world leaders get away with everything.
Hannah also shares the brutal honesty of making ROLEPLAY and creating a character (Danny) who desperately seeks power and attention because she's really looking for love.

Peter Caulfield is an actor, singer and passionate activist who has become the leading voice fighting for legal ownership of our own voices.
Best known for his work with Russell T Davies on the ground-breaking series Queer as Folk, Cucumber and Tiptoe, Peter uses his platform to speak truth to power about the issues that matter most — from Palestinian solidarity to the unchecked dangers of artificial intelligence.
Beyond the screen, Peter is the face of "Save Our Voices Now", a campaign demanding statutory rights for every UK citizen to have legal ownership over their own voice before AI cloning decimates careers, steals identities, and fundamentally erases what makes us human.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Peter dive into the impact of Russell T Davies' storytelling, Peter's continuous campaigning and how a single word "Now" can create real change.
They also talk about Peter's urgent new mission: stopping AI voice cloning before it's too late. They unpack the terrifying reality that voices are data being harvested from social media, algorithms are being piloted in warfare, and that tech billionaires are openly admitting AI will "probably destroy the planet, but create amazing software" in the meantime.
Peter tackles surveillance capitalism, the humanisation of AI as dangerously misleading, and why this isn't just an actor's issue - it affects every teenager on TikTok and Snapchat who are unknowingly giving their voice away.

Notas del episodio
Nicky Spence is a Scottish tenor, opera singer and performer who has brought accessibility, authenticity and pure joy to one of the world's most elite art forms.
From performing at the BBC Proms to international opera houses, Nicky has built a career on refusing to be confined by traditional operatic moulds. As a vocal athlete who can fill ginormous spaces without a microphone and a gay Scottish man who has turned his "unconventional" appearance into his greatest asset, Nicky represents a revolution in how we think about who gets to be an opera singer.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Nicky dive into the formative moment that changed everything. They discuss his training for ten years - only to discover that he had to become the person he actually was, instead of who he had been told to be, to reach new career heights.
The conversation touches on opera as drag - the wigs, costumes, makeup and bold presentation - and why he gets to play the really interesting, repugnant characters rather than sappy Prince's because he doesn't fit the traditional mould.
Nicky passionately advocates for funding the arts, accessibility in opera, and why creating barriers to opportunity means missing undiscovered incredible gifts. They also discuss the stark difference between France's annual funding for opera versus the UK's constant defunding, and why art should be a human experience of communion, not an exclusive elite event.

Ebs Burnough is best known the former White House Senior Advisor to First Lady Michelle Obama - but, having achieved so much, his career defies categorisation.
He's a filmmaker, writer, producer and communications executive with nearly two decades of leadership in politics and public policy. From working at the White House with President and Mrs. Obama, to serving as Chair of Sundance Film Festival, and directing projects that celebrate queer cultural icons like Dusty Springfield, Ebs has refused the false choice between academia and creativity.
A Black gay man with relentless drive and a gift for seeing the full dimensions of any challenge, Ebs approaches every mountain as an opportunity to grow, learn and create lasting impact.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Ebs dive into the formative moment that shaped his entire worldview, turning trauma into his greatest teacher and his commitment to never letting fear stop him from occupying space.
The conversation touches on being raised with the understanding that "much has been given to you, so how do you give back?", the confidence to never experience imposter syndrome while still being absolutely terrified, and the refusal to be confined to a single career path.
They also discuss his current work directing the Dusty Springfield film, launching Tea and Vodka podcast, and his upcoming projects at Sundance.

You might know Ella Morgan from her TV work (as the first transgender bride on Married At First Sight, or from Celebs Go Dating), her work as a model or as a campaigner.
A trailblazer in her own right, Ella has built a career on visibility, authenticity and unflinching honesty about what it means to be trans and queer in the public eye. Beyond the glamour and the accolades, Ella is a fierce advocate for trans rights and community liberation: someone who refuses to debate her existence, refuses to dim her light, and refuses to accept a world that demands she apologize for taking up space.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Ella dive into the vulnerable reality of navigating online hate while maintaining mental health.
They discuss how trolls feel manageable when you're in a good place mentally, but one small comment can devastate you when you're struggling. The conversation tackles the toxic discourse around trans rights, the algorithm that feeds hate, and why Ella will never debate her experience with people who don't understand what it's like to be trans.
Ella talks about her dad's role in keeping her grounded and finding power not just in the people around her, but in herself.

Jocelyn Si is the singer of Walt Disco, a Scottish band making bold, unapologetic pop music grounded in authenticity and joy. With her bandmates, Jocelyn has crafted an album that explores the messy, beautiful experience of becoming yourself.
Beyond her music, Jocelyn is a thoughtful artist who refuses to be reduced to a single narrative: she's a musician first, a trans woman second, and someone determined to show the world that transition is filled with euphoria, not just struggle.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Jocelyn dive into the formative moment that shaped her entire life, finally living authentically after years of hiding and the journey through her transition.
The conversation tackles the narrative gap: why media only covers trans stories through trauma and suffering when the lived reality is often euphoria and affirmation. They touch on being a musician who happens to be trans rather than a trans musician defined only by her identity and how transitioning in her late 20s feels like starting fresh.
Jocelyn also shares the unexpected gift of making friends in her late 20s, navigating major life phases at any age and where she finds her power...

He's the visionary behind some of the UK's most iconic queer spaces, the co-founder of Sink The Pink (the birthplace of Bimini) and the architect of Mighty Hoopla. Glyn Fussell joins Bimini for this episode of The Pieces.
More than a festival organiser, Glynn is a cultural curator who has built a career on creating places where queer people can celebrate, belong and be unapologetically themselves.
Beyond the dancefloors and glitter, Glyn is also executive producer of the theatrical adaptation of It's A Sin, working alongside Russell T Davies and the Pet Shop Boys, and founder of the Pink Noise Foundation - an organisation dedicated to supporting grassroots Pride events across the UK that are under threat from right-wing political pressure.
On this episode of The Pieces, recorded live at Soho House, Bimini and Glyn dive into the importance of Eurovision on Glyn's queer awakening, why pop culture became pure escapism for queer people forced to wait in the wings and how that obsession with spectacle shaped everything he's built.
The conversation touches on the disappearing landscape of grassroots Pride events, why the Pink Noise Foundation exists and they explore his executive producer work on It's a Sin, where theatre becomes a vehicle for queer history and education.

The Wedge: They Promised You'd Be the Exception (They Lied)

In this urgent solo episode of The Pieces, Bimini confronts a tactic as old as divide-and-conquer itself: The Wedge.
The night after London Pride - when over 35,000 people marched through the streets in celebration alongside prams, children, and grandparents in tutus - three broadcasts on GB News in two weeks equated Pride with paedophilia, smeared the entire LGBTQ+ community, and branded LGBT teachers as groomers of children.
But this episode isn't really about them. It's about gay men - sometimes older, sometimes people you looked up to - who in recent years have started saying "I support gay rights, obviously, but this trans has gone too far. Drop the tea and we'll be fine."
It's about the dangerous myth that throwing trans people under the bus will buy acceptance from the mainstream. Bimini deconstructs this lie with surgical precision, showing that when they smeared Pride, they smeared all of us. There was no asterisk. There was no exemption clause for gay men who cooperate.
Drawing on history's most infamous collaborators, Bimini makes clear: the promise of being "the exception" has never been kept. Divide and conquer only works if there are volunteers inside the walls willing to open the gate. But this summer proved something different. When those three broadcasts aired, over 9,058 people filed formal complaints to Ofcom — the most in the channel's history — refusing to accept The Wedge. From gay men to straight mothers to allies, the community showed up.

Liam Rondi is an activist living in the south of France who has become an unexpected champion of accountability in mainstream media.
With a Substack dedicated to exposing journalistic failures and media bias, Liam has built a following around unflinching critiques of how British television weaponises rhetoric against marginalised communities.
After years of witnessing homophobia and transphobia become normalised on breakfast television, Liam decided to do something radical: he created a complaint generator, mobilised a community, and broke the Ofcom record for complaints against a single broadcast segment.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Liam dive into the formative moment that politicised him and how he was inspired by transphobia on TV to attempt to create accountability.
They talk about the pattern of demonisation of LGBTQ+ people in the media, the reality that transphobia opens the gates to homophobia, why collective action matters and how teamwork breaks records.

Notas del episodio
In this furious solo episode of The Pieces - recorded at 5:30 AM in Prague after a DJ set - Bimini channels rage into action. The night after London Pride, where over a million people marched through the streets in celebration, a presenter on TV news channel GB News looked into the camera and equated Pride with celebrating paedophilia, using the phrase "minor attracted people" to describe LGBTQ+ individuals.
Within days, the same rhetoric was repeated twice more on the same channel, with LGBT teachers being branded as "groomers of children".
Rather than tweeting angry threads that get deleted, Bimini did something radical... As of the episode's recording, over 26,000 people have visited Bimini's campaign page and over 8,000 have filed complaints.
This episode of The Pieces is about the recycled lies that get weaponised against LGBTQ+ communities year after year, the dangerous normalization of hate speech on mainstream television and why "freedom of speech" doesn't mean freedom from consequence.
Bimini refuses to let broadcasters hide behind platforms, guests and apologies that amount to nothing. They expose the insidious pattern: first they came for trans people, now they're coming for all of us.

Munroe Bergdorf is a model, activist, author and filmmaker who has become one of the most powerful and eloquent voices fighting for trans rights and community liberation.
From her ground-breaking memoir Transitional to her feature documentary Love & Rage (three years in the making with director Olivia Corsini) to her young adult handbook Talk to Me: How to Have Conversations That Matter, Munroe has carved out a legacy of radical honesty and uncompromising advocacy.
As a Black trans woman, she refuses to be palatable, refuses to shy away from conflict, and refuses to let anyone — not governments, not media, not society — define her existence or erase her community.
On this episode of The Pieces, recorded at Soho House during Pride Month, Bimini and Munroe dive into the formative power of pop culture and how it shaped her understanding of identity from childhood.
They discuss joy as rebellion in times of crisis, the dangerous EHRC guidance on trans rights, and why protecting trans and queer youth is a mission she holds dear.
The conversation touches on the gruelling three-year documentary process, the vulnerability of creating a memoir that spills your guts, and designing Talk to Me as a gift to younger generations on how to navigate difficult conversations around racism, homophobia, misogyny and conflict itself.

Samuel Douek is a director, filmmaker and sexual wellness entrepreneur who has become one of the most unapologetic voices in queer pleasure and sexual education.
Known for directing iconic music videos for Bimini and others, Samuel is also the founder of HOWL, a sex-positive lifestyle brand with CBD wellness products at its core. Beyond the camera and the business, Samuel is committed to building representation for LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs and proving that you can build a successful, intentional queer business that prioritises community, pleasure and liberation.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Samuel dive into tests of commitment (including some pretty crazy stories!), moments where you have to fight for your dreams and the decision to chose an unconventional path.
They explore Samuel's philosophy of only ever doing work he loves, why he's a terrible employee but incredible creator and the journey of building a film career from absolutely nothing.
The conversation also touches on building HOWL and why creating visible queer business representation matters, the challenge of navigating capitalism and queer underground culture and practical sex education that actually serves people.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini is celebrating pride but celebrating not just those who have it all figured out, but those standing at the edge of something, wondering "I think that might be me."
Bimini is alone in the studio unpacking one of the most liberating truths they've discovered: identity isn't a destination you arrive at and stay — it's something that keeps arriving, a collection of pieces that crack you open and reshape you across your lifetime.
This episode gets deeply personal about sexuality and the language we reach for when our assumptions about our own desires start to shift. Bimini explores two expanding terms from the FEELD dating app glossary — "bi curious" and "homoflexible" — as examples of how new language is creating room to breathe, leaving doors open instead of locking people into boxes.
They share their own experience of being handed the label of their sexuality at a young age, and how reclaiming the power to define yourself — rather than having definitions imposed on you — is an act of liberation.
Bimini also announces their new new music as an independent artist under their own label, Brain Riot Records, and they talk about their single "Tank Top Bum Boys".

You might recognise our guest from the acclaimed new Russell T. Davies' thriller Tip Toe, but Shakeel Kimotho's work and reputation extends far beyond the screen.
Known for her work across fashion, media and culture, Shakeel has built a reputation for championing underrepresented voices and challenging the industry's traditional standards of beauty, identity and success. Through her creative work and advocacy, she continues to push conversations around race, representation and belonging into the mainstream.
Having built an acclaimed stage career in productions of La Cage Aux Folles and Cats, Shakeel makes a striking television debut as Hanna in Tip Toe.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Shakeel discuss the realities of navigating creative industries as marginalised people, the importance of authentic representation, and how fashion can be both a form of self-expression and resistance.
They explore masculinity, race, queerness and the pressures of visibility, while reflecting on the role community plays in building confidence and creating change.

You might know A'Whora from her unforgettable run on RuPaul's Drag Race UK, where her razor-sharp wit, incredible fashion and unapologetic confidence made her one of the show's most memorable queens.
Since bursting onto screens in 2021, A'Whora has become one of the UK's most celebrated drag artists, building a career that spans fashion, performance and television. Behind the glamour, however, is a story of resilience, ambition and learning to navigate life in the spotlight.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and A'Whora reunite to reflect on their shared Drag Race experience, the realities of fame after reality television, and the pressures of building a career in the entertainment industry.
They discuss friendship, public perception, mental health, and the challenge of staying true to yourself while living under constant scrutiny.
A'Whora also opens up about her journey from aspiring designer to drag superstar, the lessons she's learned along the way, and why vulnerability can be just as powerful as confidence.

Dee Whitnell is a multi-award-winning sex educator, content creator, journalist and activist who is quite literally changing the conversation around sexual health and wellbeing in the UK.
The author of Beyond Bananas and Condoms and founder of Trans Kids Deserve To Grow Up — a campaign born from witnessing the devastation of trans youth loss — Dee is working tirelessly to deliver inclusive, affirming sex education to young people across the country. Dee's work centres on one truth: comprehensive sex education is life-saving, and shame has no place in conversations about our bodies.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Dee dive into the formative moments that shaped their mission.
They discuss why sex remains so taboo despite literally being how most of us came into existence, the dangerous gap between abstinence-based education and reality, and how Section 28 created a generation of queer people who learned about sex through pornography.
The conversation tackles the myth that queer people are at higher risk of STIs (spoiler: we just test more), the terrifying reality of AI replacing comprehensive sex education, and the moral panic around trans youth that echoes Thatcher's Section 28 rhetoric.

This week on The Pieces, Bimini goes solo for a deeply personal episode about identity, class, performance and becoming who you’re meant to be.
As they prepare to launch a new era of independent music with their debut punk-inspired single Tank Top Bum Boyz, Bimini reflects on the journey that brought them from Great Yarmouth to London — and the version of themselves that first arrived at Liverpool Street Station with blue hair, a fake Louis Vuitton bag and a dream.
Bimini also opens up about growing up working class and queer, the hidden “tax” of navigating creative industries, and the pressure to reshape yourself in order to fit in. Along the way, Bimini reflects on grief, family, nostalgia, Britpop, Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, and the power of pop music as a survival guide for outsiders.
Honest, funny and philosophical in equal measure, this is an episode about reclaiming your voice, embracing every version of yourself, and realising that the pieces you were searching for were inside you all along.

Elizabeth Day is a bestselling author, award-winning journalist and the creator and host of How To Fail, one of the UK's most beloved podcasts.
With over 300 episodes and millions of downloads, Elizabeth has built a global community around the radical idea that failure isn't something to be ashamed of — it's what makes us human. From her novels including One Of Us and Magpie to her Sunday Times bestselling memoir How to Fail: Everything I've Ever Learned From Things Going Wrong, Elizabeth's work centres on the messy, complicated, beautiful truth of being alive.
Beyond her creative output, Elizabeth is a fierce advocate for redefining success, challenging societal expectations around relationships and motherhood, and celebrating the power of chosen family.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Elizabeth dive into the formative moment that changed everything: being dumped three weeks before her 39th birthday, staring down the barrel of her 40s alone after a decade of intense transition — divorce, failed fertility treatment, three miscarriages, and the collapse of what she thought would be her second chance at love.
They discuss how sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to break through, why failure is what happens when life doesn't go according to plan and how that heartbreak led to the creation of How To Fail.
The conversation touches on the time limits society places on women having children, redefining family as chosen rather than conventional, and why the Virgin Mary is the ultimate IVF queen.
Elizabeth and Bimini also bond over their shared love of Real Housewives before Elizabeth reveals where she finds her power...

Notas del episodio
In this powerful solo episode of The Pieces, recorded on Bimini's birthday, pop and politics collide in a way that refuses to be separated.
With Eurovision 2026 approaching and five countries boycotting in protest, Bimini tackles the myth that entertainment can ever be apolitical — reminding us that Eurovision was literally invented in 1956 to bring a war-torn Europe together through song.
Also - it's Trans History Week, marking the 6th of May 1933 — the day Nazi students and brownshirts ransacked Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin and burned its library to the ground. Bimini draws the line between then and now: Jewish people being attacked on the streets of London in 2026, synagogues firebombed, the UK terror threat level at severe. This episode refuses to let you pick a side between caring about Palestinians and caring about Jewish people, because the lesson of 1933 is that the same forces come for the same communities.
But joy is also the discipline. Bimini finds power in people who refuse to be erased, in community, in Magnus Hirschfeld dying in exile on his birthday 91 years ago, in Marty Davies building Trans History Week, and in a kid from Great Yarmouth who got off the train in 2012 with a fake Louis Vuitton bag and didn't know any of this was coming.

Sam Buttery is a comedian, writer and actor whose sharp wit and unapologetic honesty have made her a beloved figure in the UK queer scene.
From scene-stealing turns on stage to unforgettable vocal performances, Sam has built a reputation as one of the most distinctive and dynamic performers in UK theatre. Most recently, Sam has starred in Netflix's KAOS, the London Palladium production of The Addams Family Musical and the Sheffield Crucible production of Little Shop of Horrors.
Sam has built a reputation for her advocacy for mental health and addiction recovery, turning personal struggle into powerful performance. Much of her work centres queer stories with humour, heart and unflinching truth.
Beyond the stage, Sam is nearly six years sober and uses her platform to support others navigating addiction, mental health and gender identity — all while maintaining the shameless drive and delusions of grandeur that got her out of Tamworth in the first place.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Sam dive into the formative moments that shaped who she is today: therapy and sobriety. They discuss how she didn't realise she was trans until she stopped drinking nearly six years ago, why good mental health support was necessary before positive thinking could begin, and how childhood gender dysphoria felt like just "feeling weird" without the language to name it.
The conversation touches on the complexity of sleeping with people whose politics are abhorrent, shameless drive as something that confronts people who want you to stay in your place and imagining different parts of yourself at different ages in therapy.

Mae Muller has become one of the UK's most exciting and authentic pop voices. From her breakthrough hit "Better Days" to representing the United Kingdom at Eurovision in 2023, Mae has built a devoted fanbase through her unflinchingly honest songwriting and razor-sharp wit.
Her music tackles everything from toxic relationships and self-worth to mental health and navigating your twenties, all delivered with the kind of candour that makes you feel like you're having a chat with your best friend.
Beyond the catchy hooks and infectious melodies, Mae is unafraid to use her platform to speak out on issues that matter — from Palestine solidarity to calling out industry exploitation.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Mae dive into the formative moment that changed everything: discovering Lily Allen's album "Alright, Still" which showed her that honesty in songwriting was possible and made her want to become an artist.
They discuss the toxic music industry machine and how it tried to change her, experiencing burnout after Eurovision and mistaking it for PTSD, learning to trust her gut and her taste again after being told she was wrong, and why she walked away from her major label to become an independent artist.
The conversation touches on the pressure to be vocal about world issues as a public figure, why being against genocide shouldn't be a political opinion, finding power in lifelong friendships that ground you when work identity wavers, and making the conscious decision to be happy despite everything.

Lucia Blayke is a Liverpool-born, London-based activist, cultural icon and force of nature who has dedicated her life to fighting for trans rights and creating spaces of joy in a world that too often reduces trans lives to debate and suffering.
From organising a vigil for the Orlando shooting at just 16 years old, to founding Harpies — the legendary queer party night — and establishing the Transpire Foundation, an organisation working to bring down unemployment rates in the trans community, Lucia's work is driven by one clear mission: justice, celebration and survival. There's a reason why GAY TIMES called her "the voice of a generation".
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Lucia dive into the formative moments that made her who she is, including her working-class roots and family history of standing up to injustice.
They discuss why she organised the Orlando vigil and the backlash she received from right-wing media and why representation matters — from believing everyone is sexy (except Nigel Farage) to creating spaces where trans people can just exist.
The conversation touches on the Transpire Foundation's workshops for trans people, why transphobia has quadrupled since Brexit and the importance of celebration as survival.

Joelle Rotsaert is a trailblazing trans woman, entrepreneur and founder of Injectable London, one of the UK's leading aesthetic clinics.
As a registered nurse and aesthetics practitioner, Joelle has built a practice centred on providing exceptional, affirming care — particularly for the trans community. Beyond her clinical work, Joelle is the visionary behind Transsthetical, an initiative training aesthetics professionals to better serve trans patients and working toward creating a comprehensive one-stop healthcare clinic for the trans community in London.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Joelle dive into the formative moment that changed everything: writing an essay at age seven in an all-boys school and the shame that came with reading it aloud to her classmates. They discuss how children accept difference until they're conditioned not to, the bullying that started when the school became mixed, and how her grandmother's beauty rituals shaped her early understanding of femininity and self-care.
The conversation touches Joelle's first experience meeting a trans woman, navigating the aesthetics industry as a visible trans woman, and the science behind treatments like Botox, fillers and collagen production.
Joelle also shares her vision for Transsthetical — a dedicated fund and location offering everything from laser hair removal to hormones and surgery for the trans community — and where she finds her power in changing people's lives.

Sami Abu Wardeh is a Palestinian-British comedian, writer and content creator whose sharp wit and cultural commentary have made him one of the most exciting voices in UK comedy.
Raised in exile in Kuwait, before moving to the UK as a teenager, Sami has become a leading voice of the Palestinian diaspora in the arts and comedy.
Whilst his viral sketches tackle everything from identity and class to politics and social media, Sami has built a following by speaking truth to power with humour that doesn't pull punches. Beyond the laughs, Sami addresses the difficult conversations — from performing comedy during a genocide of his own people, to navigating what it means to be Arab and British in a country that constantly tries to put him in a box.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Sami dive into the formative moments that shaped who he is today. From growing up in the red light district of Dubai where he witnessed the full spectrum of humanity, to the complicated relationship creators have with social media platforms, and why the algorithm keeps us divided.
The conversation touches on being misunderstood (across race and class), the pressure to constantly create content, code-switching and why Sami has moved away from wanting to annoy people toward just wanting to make really good comedy.

Where have we been for the past few weeks? In a crazy, unexpected, turn of events Bimini was stranded abroad... and that's what this episode of The Pieces is all about.
In this deeply personal solo episode of The Pieces, Bimini opens up about one of the most challenging periods in recent memory — from missing the biggest trans rights rally in UK history due to flight cancellations, to being stranded in Dubai airport for 24 hours during missile strikes, to making the bold decision to leave their major label and become an independent artist.
Fresh off winning LGBTQ+ Podcast of the Year at the Gaydio Awards, Bimini reflects on the importance of platforming diverse voices and creating space for nuance in a world that increasingly feels divided. This episode tackles the infighting on the left and why progressive movements need to stop one-upping each other if real change is going to happen.
Bimini also shares the terrifying experience of being stuck in Dubai with alerts warning to stay away from windows, the devastation of missing a historic moment for the trans community at Wembley, and the reality that the world feels like it's gone mad.
But there's hope too. Bimini announces their journey as an independent recording artist, sharing excitement about their debut album of "electro-punk" music and the freedom that comes from finally making art that feels authentic.

Czech Hunter Schafer is the anonymous voice behind one of the most unapologetically honest, and hilarious, meme accounts on the internet.
With a following built on sharp wit, cultural commentary and zero filter, CHS has carved out a space that refuses to sanitise the trans experience for mainstream comfort. Her viral content — from memes about trans healthcare to observations about DL guys and the realities of navigating the world as a trans woman — has resonated with millions, making her a defining voice for a generation that's done playing respectful.
Beyond the memes, CHS is a fierce advocate for trans rights, community solidarity and finding power in humour even when your existence is politicised.
On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Czech Hunter Schafer dive into the formative moment that changed everything for CHS, and led to the realisation that she was a trans woman.
They discuss the importance of meeting trans people in real life versus online spaces, reclaiming slurs within the community, and why the discourse around being "trans enough" is toxic.
The conversation touches on the origins of her account name, creating content that feels authentic versus curated, navigating censorship on social media and why passing culture is exhausting. CHS also shares where she truly finds her power — spoiler: it's in the dolls and the trans community.
