    Glyn Fussell on Building Dancefloors, Protecting Pride & It's A Sin

    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. Don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes of The Pieces every Tuesday!

    Munroe Bergdorf on Joy As Rebellion, EHRC Guidelines & Pop Culture's Power

    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.

    A Pride Manifesto: You're Still Arriving (And That's the Point)

    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".
