We live in a society, but we wish we were Moomins.

RuairĂ­ joins Ally to discuss Tove Jansson's 'The Moomins' (because they're gay); how the Moomins create the perfect socialist utopia, whether children's media can ever truly be just for children, whether one can return to childhood innocence after losing it, and who is the best Moomin of all.
