For our final episode of Season 4, we thought we'd join in with the many others across the globe to celebrate the Moon and the Lunar New Year. One glimpse of that radiant sphere in the night sky is all you need to understand why so much has been attributed to the moon over the millenia. From poetry to deity, astrology to mythology, and, of course, art to music - the Moon has been an inspiration.
