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

We started a Ko-fi fundraiser to help us expand. Our goal is to continue releasing 2 episodes a month, including our advice column, and we would eventually like to expand so we can produce content by other Romani & Sinti creators. We are hoping to cover production costs, like paying for our hosting site, website, editing and producing, and all the rest. We would love it if you could contribute and spread the word. The link, Ko-fi.com/romanistan, is in our bio on Instagram too.

Please rate, review, and subscribe. It helps us so much. 

If you would like to advertise with us, write in for our advice column, or otherwise reach out, email us at [email protected]. We offer sliding-scale for Romani, Sinti & related businesses.
