About

The transcript and vocab flashcards of this episode are available on Patreon.Things I absolutely love about Chile: That people dress up as Satan and go dance for 10 straight days in the desert.Yeah, for real. But don’t get it twisted — they do it to honor the Virgin of Carmen.We might be intense, but we’re not satanic.Since I’m way too much of an atheist and a heretic to explain this properly, I invited Marcelo Puch to talk about the biggest religious festival in all of Chile:La fiesta de La Tirana. What do you need to bring?How are you expected to behave?(Spoiler: no showing up drunk or naked.) That’s just how we roll.
