Introducing 'Foretold'

"Foretold" is the newest podcast from the L.A. Times, and we're sharing a preview of the first episode with you here today. In the fall of 2019, reporter Faith E. Pinho received a tip from a woman named Paulina Stevens. Paulina claimed she had grown up in an insular Romani community in California, where she was raised to be a wife, mother and fortuneteller — until she decided to break away. That first call unraveled a story spanning multiple continents, hundreds of years, and complex metaphysical realities. Follow "Foretold" to hear new episodes every Tuesday.

Interviewer Ruins Potential

Connoisseur of Actors

This podcast pulls some of the most interesting actors in the industry, and then the interviewer asks questions like it’s a middle school project. Interviews should be more than simply a question and an answer with no response from the interviewer.
Unique and different
