Seeds is a podcast about recovery, mental health, and how we navigate it all while the world keeps getting louder and harder to survive in. Hosted by Miriam Boosh and Sam Reynolds, we talk about the messiness of healing, identity, race, queerness, politics, and the everyday work of staying alive and staying human. It’s vulnerable, angry, sometimes funny, and always real. Burn it down, build something better.

Everything’s Connected and It’s On Fire. Racism, Queerness & the Far-Right Machine

Miriam Boosh and Sam Reynolds go all in on Trump, the far right, and how their bs is bleeding across borders. Miriam shares a recent racist experience and we talk about how moments like that aren’t isolated, they’re part of something much bigger and more dangerous.

The conversation expands into the deep, personal work of understanding gender queerness. and the emotional labour of constantly explaining yourself in a world built to misunderstand you. This one's about survival, solidarity, and refusing to shut up. But it’s not all fire and fury, we also try to touch on the moments that lifted our spirits this week. The people, stories, and small wins that remind us why the fight’s still worth it.
