  • Love this

    This podcast is so well made and so informative. I’m not Roma, but I’ve found this an incredible resource to learn about a culture I was ignorant on. It’s amazing to learn history that’s seldom taught, as well as finding new artists, musicians, and cultural contributors from the Roma world.
