Paulina Stevens grew up in an insular Romani American family, destined to leave school, marry young, and become a fortuneteller. By 17, her fate was sealed — until she decided to leave it all behind. "Foretold" follows Paulina as she navigates the consequences of her decision to leave her community and redefine her identity. Hosted by Los Angeles Times reporter Faith Pinho, "Foretold" will take you past the neon "psychic" signs and trendy tarot cards to unravel myths and stereotypes that have followed the Romani people for centuries.

Customer Reviews
Super interesting
I really enjoyed the series on Paulina and the Romani culture. I can totally understand the back and forth of trying to figure out when one leaves a community but cannot abandon the culture. Being a fortune teller is who she is!
more about virtue signaling than the actual story
I’m 24 minutes in the first ep and they’re still talking about stereotypes about the romani people, can we move on now? I don’t think I have the patience to finish it…. I want to know about the lady’s story!!!!!!! I won’t use the g-word I promise!!!!!!!
Awesome podcast
Can’t wait to listen to more episodes!!! Awesome hosts and great topics!
