“Foretold tells the story about a community here in the US hidden in plain sight. But the podcast doesn’t veer into predictable terrain. Instead of offering up yet another “othering”-type narrative focusing on the Romany people as some sort of off-putting, retrograde cult, the team creates a complex picture of what it means to live a life outside the currents of “mainstream” culture, asking us to reconsider whether such a thing exists at all. It’s easy to fall in love with the main character and feel completely immersed in her world, while at the same time recognizing all of the contradictions at the heart of this beautiful, powerful and extremely well-told story. Congratulations to the entire team. The LA Times was lucky to get to work with them and I can’t wait to see what they all go on to do next!”
