This episode is about sex, gender, and Jesus—and what happens when our bodies get wrapped in shame, pleasure, politics, and power. It comes in four parts:
🧕 Part One – Tina Beardsley
Revd Dr. Tina Beardsley is a priest, a theologian, and a trans woman who’s been quietly transforming the Church of England from the inside out. Co-author of Trans Affirming Churches and Transfaith, Tina sees transition as a spiritual act.

💃 Part Four – Sound Slice
Let me set the scene for you: I’m at a Quaker gathering in Florida. After the silent worship, the serious talks, and the ice cream debates—we push the tables aside and start square dancing. Boys in skirts. Grandmothers in wheelchairs. Men dancing with men. The Spirit moves.
🎙️ Bubble and Squeak is written and produced by me, Peterson Toscano. I mostly make this show for myself. Oh—and for John Casey, who taught me how to journal again.
Thank you for listening. Until next time—stay curious. Be weird. And make room for yourself to shimmer, sparkle, and shine.
