We're joined by a chart-topping artist who has used her platform to become a powerful advocate for trans rights, feminism, and fair pay for musicians - Kate Nash is on The Pieces!

Kate Nash burst onto the scene in 2007 with her debut album "Made of Bricks", which reached #1 in the UK. Known for her frank, observational lyrics and distinctive vocal style, she became a voice of her generation with hits like "Foundations".

Since then, Kate has carved out a career defined by authenticity, resilience, and activism. From acting in Netflix's GLOW to launching an OnlyFans account to fund her tours, she has consistently challenged industry norms and spoken out about the financial realities facing artists.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Kate dive dip into the music industry's broken economics and why corporate greed is bleeding the arts dry. Kate opens up about getting dropped by her label via text, the isolation of early fame in the 2000s media landscape and how the Myspace era represented a unique moment of creative freedom.

They also discuss Kate's decision to launch OnlyFans as both a financial necessity and a statement about sex work, bodily autonomy and who gets to profit from women's bodies. She also shares her journey to becoming a vocal trans rights advocate and the importance of cis women stepping up as accomplices rather than just allies.

For our first guest of the new season of The Pieces, we are joined by a drag icon who rose to international prominence after competing on Season 12 of RuPaul's Drag Race and later on All Stars, becoming known for her theatrical performances and infectious energy.

Jan Sport discovered drag through her now-legendary Kris Jenner impersonation - but she has always blurred the lines between theatre, pop culture and drag artistry. Her journey from liberal arts student to Drag Race contestant to West End performer (currently starring in Oscar At The Crown in the West End) showcases her commitment to pushing creative boundaries.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Jan dive into the evolution of drag culture in New York and London, discussing how the visibility of Drag Race has transformed the scene. They explore the pressure to be perfect versus the beauty of imperfection, the competitive nature of modern drag and why taking breaks can reignite creative passion.

Jan opens up about iconic Drag Race moments, the realities of online criticism, and learning that someone else's success isn't your loss.
