Latchi Ratyi Miro Amal, Good Evening Friend! You're listening to the Third Season of O Verda Darano! We go Beyond the Caravan this season, visiting fiends from around the country and globe, Roma and Gadje alike. We'll talk with businesses, wildlife efforts, and true characters that will surely entrance your ears with each passing minute!

Hurry, hurry! Bundle up! Watch your step, the caravan is rather slippery when it snows this time of year. Speaking of which, I hope you and I are good company for each other. The annual sickness of hollies and jollies has yet again befallen the world- and even the next! All this merriment is just too, too much. It’s even affected me! I just lined the outside of my verda with lights and garland. I know, ghastly! I’ve lost my senses, but I’m glad you’re here with me to prowl back to the depths of dread and doom! Tonight, miro amal, we travel to icy, snow-ridden England, centuries ago, to a man just wrapping up his practice as a physician for the cold evening- yet not until he tends to one last patient... But, before that, there are TWO GHOULS who are clawing and gnashing their fangs to speak with us. I hope you brought them presents…

The story read on this episode is "The Ghost's Summons" by Ada Buisson

In the final episode of “Foretold,” Paulina makes a career choice and starts figuring out her place in the world. And Paulina and Bobby’s custody battle culminates in a decision about their daughters’ future.

Check out behind-the-scenes photos and host Faith E. Pinho's reflections on the series.

Dive deeper: There is no monolithic “Romani American experience,” not even in California — there are a multitude of them. See opinion pieces by Romani writers in conjunction with the "Foretold" podcast at latimes.com/foretold.

Faced with the consequences of her decisions, Paulina grows estranged from her family — but meets Gina, a cousin who left the community decades before. And Paulina turns to her ultimate battle: the fight for her children in court.

In the beginning, Faith thought Paulina was giving her a hot news tip about psychics and scams. Years of investigation revealed something else.

Dive deeper: “I would not exist if my ancestors had not practiced Drabarimos,” or spiritual medicine,  spiritualist and filmmaker George Eli writes. He delves into how he got into his line of work and why his community and heritage have become so misunderstood.

We go back to where it all began: Morro Bay. Paulina shows Faith her hometown, where she recounts a childhood in a tightknit family, vibrant parties and an education cut short.

Dive deeper: There is no monolithic “Romani American experience,” not even in California — there are a multitude of them. Author Oksana Marafioti shares her recollections of how arriving in Los Angeles as a teenager led her to celebrate her Romani roots. 

In the fall of 2019, reporter Faith E. Pinho received a tip from Paulina Stevens. Paulina said 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. This opens the door to a story spanning multiple continents, hundreds of years and complex, even metaphysical, realities.

Hey hey, friends! In today's episode, we talk about TAROT READINGS (dun dun dun)...
I dive deep into my other addiction, tarot readings on Youtube, and how detrimental it can be to our well-being! That constant need for reassurance is actually just a mask covering up the fact that we have major control issues and zero trust within! 

It's important to build that trust within ourselves so we don't fall for these gimmicks! Tarot has been a HUGE help when I'm feeling at my lowest and that external validation is a great feeling, but I decide what and when I will make things happen, not anyone else!  

Be sure to reach out to me on all my socials @TaynaNunesdeOliveira , and let me know what you think! Honestly, I am completely open to criticism, give it to me baby, really truly tell me how you feel!

We thank our donors for this year, and we ask you to help us raise $4,000 through our Ko-fi fundraiser to make season 3 happen!

Mysticism, other worlds, the planes of existence. Most of us know only one existence, and that's what's in front of us and what has happened. But are there more? Do we need to understand these things? Are they important? Are they even real today? We talked to Dale Alan Rouse, who is a master shaman.

Latchi Ratyi Miro Amal, Good Evening Friend! You're listening to the Second Season of O Verda Darano! These episodes will feature Roma with stories that span from the sentimental to shockingly spooky. Almost like a, a... a haunted palanchiki!

We visit someone who has seen, heard, and felt things within the physical and meta-physical realm. Someone who has experienced the many Shapes of Terror. Delightful, no? For our friend, Tressa, we cannot say. That’s for you to decide, faithful companion. We can say she is a comrade of the creepy and doesn’t shy from a little blood-shed. By blood, we mean a healthy mix of syrups and edible dyes. But there’s no pretending from this point forward, you will be terrified. So close your eyes, listen closely, and let the soothing chill of petrifying fear reach the marrow of your bones! 

Be prepared to travel to places and dimensions not suited for man or beast! Dead Scared Entertainment brings you fear you can hear! A brand-new concoction of Roma storytelling through a broadcast-style podcast.

Paulina and Jez interview each other about the art of dream interpretation & divination to kick off our spooky season themed episodes this October. This episode also launches the first advice column, and we invite listeners to write in with their problems, and we will pull a tarot card each and give you some advice as best we can. Take it with a grain of salt— we’re fortune tellers, not therapists.

Paulina & Jez also shout out some wonderful Romani fortune tellers that they have gotten readings from recently: Bibi Jaz, Katelan Foisy, Bimbo Yaga (Ylva Mara Radziszewski), Opulent Witch (Kiki Robinson), & Sasha Ravitch. We highly recommend.

Our advice column this month is about how to repair a wounded friendship. We mention the podcasts Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel, Best Friends with Nicole Byer & Sasheer Zamata, and the book Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg.

Jez started that Patreon too!   https://www.patreon.com/jezminavonthiele

Hello, 2022! Ross and Carrie enlist the help of various future-seers, from psychics to astrologers to dead people to Cosmopolitan Magazine… to see how 2022 will pan out for them and for the world.
