From pop stars to politicians, artists and activists, every week Bimini will be unearthing the moments that have shaped their guests’ identities, whilst exploring how the world today is impacting the people we are becoming. New episodes every Tuesday.
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.
