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.

Great podcasting
Excellent story telling - really captures the humanity of the subjects
So well done and educational
Very well done and thought out perspective on the Romani culture. Told from multiple sides of the story. Thank you for producing and writing this! Very educational, I did not know much about the Romani people or practices and this was incredibly intriguing.
