Life in the dark shadow of Mini-Me - a podcast by BBC Radio

Verne Troyer played Mini-Me in the Austin Powers films. Following his recent death, fellow short person Eugene Grant says the character normalised violent attacks against others with dwarfism.



Plus, as exam season gets underway, what’s it doing to your mental health? We talk to campaigner Jonny Benjamin, who runs mental health workshops in schools, and we hear how your teacher could have given you maths anxiety. And meet the artist who gives her drawings away - as therapy.Presented by Kate Monaghan and Simon Minty.
