A History Lesson on the Romani ("Gypsies")
Podcast
About this episode
We know it's been a while - we plan to get more consistent in 2023. Jane had a baby and Linda still has chronic fatigue and was preparing for some time off from work.
Since we covered the episode of 'The 10th Kingdom' wherein a group of 'gypsies' were portrayed as bad guys, Linda's been promising to research the Roma and record a minisode. Well, here it is!
Learn about the history and struggles of the Roma people.
WARNING: it's a huge bummer.
