    Czech Hunter Schafer on Social Media Censorship & Reclaiming Trans Slurs

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

    Bessie Carter on Acting, Alcohol & Challenging The System

    You might recognise her from series such as Bridgerton, or acclaimed plays such as Mrs. Warren's Profession. Bessie Carter is an actress, producer and a creative force. The daughter of acclaimed actors – and once-in-a-generation talents Jim Carter and Imelda Staunton – Bessie has carved out her own path in the industry, not just as a performer, but as a producer determined to tell stories on her own terms. Beyond her work on screen, Bessie is a passionate advocate for questioning the status quo, whether that's challenging societal expectations around femininity or interrogating the alcohol industry. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Bessie dive into the formative moments that have made Bessie who she is today – including the school experience where she realised her wings were being clipped, and the pressure on young girls to be “polished corners of the temple”. Bimini and Bessie talk about the importance of questioning systems that don't serve us, they call out the normalisation of alcohol in culture and the power of living with intention. Bessie also shares her journey with ADHD, the link between substance use and undiagnosed conditions, and where she truly finds her power.

    The Algorithm Doesn't Care: Reclaiming Softness In A Rage Economy

    In this solo episode of The Pieces, Bimini is taking to the microphone to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time: how algorithms, outrage culture and social media are reshaping our capacity for empathy and connection. Fresh from the Attitude 101 launch celebrating trailblazers - including Bimini's manager Simon Jones - and inspired by Green Party co-leader Zack Polanski's impassioned speech about real political change, Bimini reflects on why we're living in such a divisive time. This episode dives deep into why online anger dominates algorithms, how platforms profit from outrage and why negativity spreads faster than kindness. Bimini unpacks the role of media in framing debates as binary conflicts, the danger of judging entire human beings from 30-second clips and how compassion fatigue is eroding our ability to see nuance. The conversation explores binary thinking culture — you're either this or that, with no room for complexity — and the exhaustion faced by marginalised communities who are forced to constantly defend their right to exist. Bimini asks the critical question: who actually benefits from moral outrage online? The answer? You'll have to listen to find out.

    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.

    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. 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.
