  • Introducing 'Foretold'
    May 18 2023

    "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.
