    GIRLI on Her Queer Awakening, Lesbian Erasure & Finding Her Power

    Since bursting onto the scene, GIRLI (the stage name for pop star Amelia Toomey) has used her platform to encourage change. Known for her unapologetically queer, feminist anthems, GIRLI has carved out a space in music that is bold, confrontational and completely authentic. From tackling toxic masculinity to celebrating queer joy – and even throwing tampons into the crowd at gigs to challenge the societal taboo around menstruation – her music has become a rallying cry for a generation refusing to fit into neat boxes. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and GIRLI dive into the formative moments that have shared GIRLI into who she is today – from the moment she realised that both queerness and a musical career were possible – to embracing her power to create change. They discuss creating positive queer representation, the erasure of lesbians in women’s history, the impact of the AIDS epidemic and the colonisation of sexuality across culture. Plus, GIRLI reveals where she truly finds her power... Don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes of The Pieces every Tuesday!

    Lawrence Chaney on Standing Up For Yourself & Putting Your Home On The Map

    Lawrence Chaney brings bold comedy, unapologetic confidence and razor-sharp wit to the stage - whether in their crown winning performing in RuPaul's Drag Race UK (when they became the first Scottish queen to win the franchise), or in their activism. Lawrence has become one of the UK's most vocal queens, balancing political activism with hilarious pop culture commentary. Whether dissecting current events or riffing about sharks and apples, Lawrence has built a career on authenticity, humour and refusing to apologise for taking up space. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Lawrence take a pitstop during their United Kingdolls tour to dive deep. From Lawrence's formative moment of fighting back with humour at school to their relationship with body image, this conversation is equal parts humanising and hilarious. They discuss the importance of standing up for yourself without resorting to violence, and why words are more powerful than fists, as well as the state of political discourse and why weirdness is something to celebrate rather than hide. Lawrence also shares advice for aspiring drag queens in Scotland, reflects on their Drag Race UK season, and reveals where they truly find their power.

They break down why community spaces matter more than ever, share the stacked line-up, and explain why joy, celebration and visibility are acts of resistance.

    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.

    Tiger from Divorce on Coming Out As Non-Binary, Touring In A Band & Valuing Authenticity

    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. As their lead singer, Tiger has carved out a unique space in the music industry, fearlessly centring their experiences as a queer and gender non-binary artist in their work. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Tiger dive into the realities of being a touring musician — from the unglamorous service station meals and technical mishaps to the pure magic of festival crowds – and the importance of grassroots venues. Tiger also opens up about coming out as non-binary, finding their queer community in Glasgow and how being in a relationship with their trans partner has affirmed their own gender identity in profound ways. The conversation also explores the exhausting content game of social media, reclaiming the romance of being an artist and why authenticity always wins over virality.

    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.
