It's the final episode of the first season of Fellow Travellers, and there's no better way to end it than by asking the ultimate questions: what is East of Moon?

Josie Anne and Arnar Sigurðsson get together to hash it out, and in the process explore the value of community, the difference between countryside and urban cultural activity, and how it works to bridge the gap.

For our tenth episode we are doing another review; this is where we take the time to look back over the conversations we've had thus far, and reflect on the themes and ideas raised. Anna Marjankowska joins Josie Anne in the studio to discuss the moments and concepts that resonated with us from episodes 06-09.

Atli Freyr Hjaltason is a folklorist and ethnologist who is deeply embedded in the folk dancing community in Iceland—and beyond.
