Introducing 'Foretold'

2023/04/14

"Foretold" is the newest podcast from the L.A. Times, and we're sharing 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.

Follow "Foretold" wherever you get your podcasts to hear new episodes every Tuesday.
