You could say that almost everything has changed for Danielle St. James since she was last on The Pieces in February 2025.

A force of nature in the LGBTQ+ community, Dani is the Founder & CEO of Not A Phase (one of the UK's leading trans-led charities) and has spent the past 5 years fighting tirelessly for trans joy, visibility, and rights. She was named one of Glamour's Women of the Year in 2025.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Dani cover everything that has happened in the past year: the near collapse of Not A Phase, the backlash against her Woman of the Year award and the ending of her marriage.

Bimini and Dani discuss the impact of corporate backlash since Trump became US President, the incredible community response to unthinkable challenge, the toll of public visibility and Dani's personal journey of rebuilding her self-esteem.

Plus, Dani shares an unforgettable bathroom encounter with Joanna Lumley that perfectly captures her philosophy: the darkest days come before the dawn.

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.

Thanks for listening to The Pieces through-out 2025, we're excited to spend 2026 exploring politics, power and pride with you.

South London's piri is one of the most exciting voices in alternative pop right now.

Since emerging onto the scene as one half of the duo piri & tommy, the singer-songwriter has captivated audiences with her raw, unfiltered approach to music — blending dreamy melodies with brutally honest lyricism that cuts straight to the heart. From viral breakthrough tracks to her highly anticipated debut album "Froge.mp3", piri has built a dedicated following by refusing to compromise her vision or dilute her truth.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and piri dive into how piri channels her experiences into music that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable, the exhausting pressure to create viral TikTok moments and the importance of staying true to yourself in a world that constantly pressures you to conform.

They also discuss how OnlyFans has become piri's primary income source, the empowerment of creators taking control of their own platforms and why being her "weird" self has always been her greatest strength.
