    Elizabeth Day on Rock Bottom, Societal Pressures On Women & Failure

    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...

    Is Entertainment Always Political?

    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.

    Joelle Rotsaert on Trans Healthcare, Aesthetics & Childhood Shame

    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.

    Lesley Sharp on Not Fitting In, Political Dishonesty & Challenging Stereotypes

    Lesley Sharp is one of Britain’s most respected and versatile actors. With a career spanning four decades across film, television and theatre – from her BAFTA nominated roles in The Fully Monty and Bob & Rose, to Olivier Award nominated roles in A Family Affair and Uncle Vanya – Lesley is truly one of the UK’s most impressive exports. Lesley tackles complex, groundbreaking stories with fearlessness. Her work consistently challenges stereotypes and pushes boundaries, making her a true icon of British screen and stage.

She’s also reprising her role in the second series of the acclaimed Red Eye. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Lesley discuss the complexity of BDSM relationships (reflecting on Lesley’s role in Pillion) and why playing a morally upstanding character in Red Eye feels important in today's climate of political dishonesty. Lesley also shares the impact of adoption on her identity, why understanding human behaviour is central to her craft and her healing and how therapy at 25 became transformative. She also reflects on the unexpected global success of The Full Monty, the toxic culture of celebrity shaming in the 2000s, and why she never reads reviews of live theatre.

    Divorce are one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the UK’s indie music scene in years – led by their raw emotional honesty, they have gone from small Nottingham venues to gaining critical acclaim.

    2025 In Review: Pop Culture, Politics & Protests

    The end of 2025 is finally here, and what a year it has been! From pop culture to politics, protests and many poor decisions... 2025 has been a year full of culture being pushed forwards, and society being pushed back. On this special episode of The Pieces, Bimini is reflecting on the major events of 2025 and giving their hot take on all that went down. From the USA's brief TikTok ban (and what it says about our need for genuine human connection), to Trump's return to the Presidency; they're also looking at current events in the UK, including the rise of Reform UK and the weaponization of patriotism. In pop culture, Bimini reflects on Charli XCX's world domination with Brat, Sydney Sweeney's jeans controversy, and Kneecap's Glastonbury performance. The episode wraps up with their predictions for 2026 - from cabbage becoming trendy, to - much more importantly - trans liberation.
