Other episode notes: Though we did not go into it in Blast From The Past or any other segment, we’d like to point out that we do not romanticize “Colonial-Era America” as a flawless time in the past (due, if it’s not clear, to the colonialism, slavery, and other huge issues). Also, for more reading on the word the characters use in this book to mean “shafted” or “cheated” and the word’s history and impact, we recommend this awesome article from NPR: https://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/12/30/242429836/why-being-gypped-hurts-the-roma-more-than-it-hurts-you
