Writer Anna Freeman presents a showcase of true stories about the meaning of art in people's lives. This week, stories of micro worlds and the people who make them.

Middlesbrough in miniature. The microworlds of arthropods. A minute replica of a student bedroom. How can small creations help with the big things? This week, the writer Anna Freeman hears stories of people and their tiny worlds.

There's Steve Waller, who always wondered exactly what his great uncle saw on his last walk out of Middlesbrough before he died in Battle of the Somme. Then Ros, inspired by a novel and needing to heal a heartbreak, who made her student bedroom in miniature. And Matt Doogue, who found solace lying in the grass with his macro camera, communing with the world of spiders and grasshoppers.

Produced by Maggie Ayre and Eliza Lomas for ±«Óãtv Audio in Bristol.
