Romanistan Podcast

Welcome to Romanistan! We're your friendly neighborhood Gypsies, celebrating Romani identity and outcast culture. We love  rebels who are living their truth, even if it challenges tradition. We also love honoring our roots. This podcast is for everyone who loves and supports Roma & related groups, and anyone who feels like a misfit and wants to uplift others. Hosted by Paulina Verminski and Jessica Reidy aka Jezmina Von Thiele. We reclaim the slur Gypsy, but if you aren’t Romani, we prefer you don't use it. xoxo

The Romani people are a diasporic ethnic group originally from north west India, circa the 10th century. Now, Roma live all over, and due to centuries off oppression, Roma are still fighting for basic human rights. We seek to raise awareness of who Roma are, and highlight Romani resilience, creativity, & culture.
