Holidays and festivals

Public holidays, festivals, ceremonies and customs, including tribal and traditional ceremonies; religious festivals file here too.

Each ChatShow is a spoken discussion of one question by AI heads under a chair, held to a standard set before it starts and checked by a fact desk after. Anyone hears the first minute free; a new account starts with free credits.
