If you find yourself six episodes deep wondering if the story goes anywhere…no, it doesn’t. This is the type of tale I’d expect to hear in a nail salon while trapped in the chair for an hour. I’d say, “wow, that’s crazy” then waddle out of the salon in my foam flip flops and promptly forget about it.
Would have also been interesting to dive into the reason behind the stereotypes. There are actual groups of Romani who rely on highly organized theft and begging to get by, especially in Europe. W... more
Apple Podcasts2jboulevardesUnited States5 months ago - a surprising feminist story
this is a really well reported story on an obscure but super interesting subject. Yet another example of a patriarchal culture and the brave women that choose to break a cycle and make a change. Very original and interesting

Australia8 months ago - To Thy Own Self Be True/ Spoilers
Paulina frees herself from the expectations of both the restrictive, limiting culture she was raised in, and also frees herself from the expectations that the mainstream culture has on her. I was baffled that on the other side of finding freedom she was expected to have an easy, American triumph story in order for her choices to be valid. She ends up taking a break from college and returns to tarot, as she misses her culture while unapologetically advocating for her children to have the right to... more

Just listened to Season 3 (haven’t tried 1 and 2 yet). Season 3 was so captivating, amazing journalism, and amazing story telling. I just wanted to keep listening. Very interesting personal stories from living in the Romani culture. I would love if they did an update to what’s going on now.
