    Hello!
    Listen to this podcast!!! It’s so good! Warning: if you dislike lgbtq+, people talking about the history of black people, and joy, do not listen! Once, I was chilling in my room, and my dad walked in and I was listening to the lgbtq+ episode, and he looked very uncomfortable, so it might be awkward if your listening to certain episodes when your parents walk in, but amazing podcast and I hate Mayo too joy. I prefer soy sauce and some times put it on my chicken nuggies

    My thoughts on this podcast
    I love this podcast I think it’s really fun and because of the mayonnaise episode I asked my parents to buy me Kewpie mayo and it does taste like cheese it’s really good and to get the star tip you have to spin off the cap but enough about mayo I really like this podcast a lot❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🤎🩶🖤

    Hey guys
    Hii! I realized I hadn’t been here in a while so I thought I’d catch up. So… about the age comments… I’m not sure about Kellia but I’m 16. I personally don’t think it’s “creepy” to be writing a review on a kids podcast considering the fact that you know… I’m a child. I started writing these reviews to protect my little sisters innocence. (She was very young when we started listening to this podcast). As she got older I was like ‘wow this could really be influential to her identity and how she feels about certain societal problems’. So I wrote reviews. It’s really not about age. I feel as though now we are just throwing around random insults in this “fight”. Maybe we can try to keep it more peaceable? Also. I hope I’m not forcing my religion onto you but if you have any questions on Christianity or the gospels please let me know! Easter was recently and I think it’s the perfect time to discuss things with curious people! God can fit in anywhere and that includes this podcast space! ❤️ Okay that’s all! Jesus loves you! — avocado Jean

    So MUCH JOY in this podcast!
    Joy and her team do a spectacular job of dissecting the topics that are unique and IMPORTANT - plus the humor is great for all ages. Our entire family loves Forever Ago! Keep ‘em coming!

  • Clara ❤️♥️
    Not very good
    I don’t really like this podcast To: alblack16 I agree with you some and ice cream is a way better podcast topic than what this pod is right now. I liked the mayo episode but pretty much everything else isn’t very good (recently). This pod used to be good but now I don’t really like it. It’s not like I hate it. It just would be better if it was more uh I guess “simple” I still listen to it though. Bye bye

    Hey l’m back
    REVIEW: A Pretty bad podcast. It was a ok podcast but it got worse. Joy (the host) some families (like my family) don’t like pride and stuff like that. If you’d kept it like history of ice cream and soap, l would have loved this podcast! It has topics that should only be discussed by the kids parent(s). If you’re a sensitive kid, this is not a podcast for you. It does have black people topics that could affect you, and if your white, it might make you feel uncomfortable and like a bad person. This podcast has pride stuff in it and pride isn’t right for some families. Plus it has a bunch of smarty pass adds so it’s not that fun. Please read this Joy. To madam b<3: hey if l could steal your review, l would. I totally agree with you. They way you put the words together is awesome. To in my #era: yes l kind of agree with you. To sorrow the fox: even though I’m a hater, l wouldn’t mind being friends. Oh and by the my co-op is called blue oak. What’s yours? :D To lovers: We can have are opinions, and aren’t you guys all about opinions? So please the Earth isn’t perfect. And not everyone likes pride! -alblack ❤️
  • espresso :)
    i honestly dont get it
    why are people angry about pride. if its because its a sin, wearing two types of fabric is also a sin and im sure you all do that. there are so many more sins OR EVEN JUST BIGGER ISSUES IN THE WORLD you could comment this on a podcast that promotes r*ape instead of people loving each other. if its simply because you think its wrong, then keep it to yourself. i think my parents are wrong a lot, but i still respect them. as long as a human is not doing crimes, and they are just living, leave them be. there are so many bigger issues…. if you dont want to listen to the podcst then dont

  • flix_b33
    Hi it’s me Krashannabelle
    Hi! I am back, it seems like thing’s died down, but that does not change the fact that most episodes are abt racism. Kelia Kaen: yay your back, your not a creep I am a preteen, your a teen, we are not creeps don’t let that get to you Al black: hey I don’t really know you but your reasons and opinions are valid, same as kelia or almost ( I said almost ) every hater To any spot the difference kid: I will find you and I will shoot your entire family. I’m not kidding☺️ Flix_b33 out- P.s. i will find you and live in your walls☺️

  • ProudPrideCorgi
    Good podcast
    This is good 👍podcast! Joy, do not let the haters get you down! I also am not a fan of mayonnaise 🤢🤮. I highly recommend the episode about the weekend. It is one of my favorite episodes of all time. Suggestions: 1. The history of handheld fans 🪭 2. The history of competitive swimming🏊 3. The history of sailing⛵️ 4. The history of string instruments that use a bow (ex. Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass) Can you please stop with the Smarty Pass preview because every time I get excited and I think there is a new episode but then it is just a sneak peek and it is just annoying. I would be happier to be honest if it was during the ad-break. - -ProudPrideCorgi -プライドコーギー -Have a nice day! -良い一日を

  • Madam B <3
    My thoughts
    This podcast is indoctrination. It can hurt children. It hurt me. It taught me beliefs that I just… accepted. We should we teaching kids to think critically, and this is not helping. Race hustling, and adding pronouns and pride where they don’t belong, and then teaching kids that these ideas are correct, is wrong. These topics should be discussed by parents or real people (not that Joy + cohosts aren’t real, just to say they’re people online.) in people’s lives. Parents, I’d say don’t let your kids listen, or listen with them and then actually talk about these things. You can hate me, but I speak from my own experience. - Madam B <3

    Great podcast. Horrible people ruining the Earth.
    My name is Meredith I’m a VERY concerned 10year old. This is a great podcast for people who love history! If I could I would go to the 1700s and never come back to the future. I hate ai I hate global warming! If people wreck the Earth we’ll become EXTINCT.

    I LOVE THIS PODCAST!!
    This podcast is the BEST podcast ever to learn about history, and it’s SOOOOOOO funny! 😆 I love listening to this podcast when it’s time to go to bed. And I’m sorry Joy but I LOVE mayonnaise on my sandwich’s. And I thought that the mayonnaise episode was SOOO Hilarious!!! 😂 But, my overall thought of this podcast is that it’s the BEST PODCAST EVER!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩🤩❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🤍🩶🖤

  • In my # era
    # era
    I love it. Now let’s be for real,we black people have struggled in the past with racism and we are proud to overcome that.But the fact that you claim that we are telling people that whites are evil and horrible is the wrong thing to do.Remember, we have white friends,we respect you guys,some of us are married to white people. That doesn’t mean you have to claim that all black folks hate white people. There is no victim there are only accusations.Others might be angry at me but id rather be hated for this then watch you accuse my race of being bad people.P.s. I understand the”haters” are mostly Christian and believe in god and stuff(no offense) some people don’t go to church and stuff and its ok,but leave stuff to families to figure out if it’s appropriate or not.It’s different for everybody.P.P.S. Can we please reach peace, please. ,#

    random but this is a test if you’re a long-time listener:
    do any of y’all remember like in 2018-2019, when Forver Ago hadn’t been posting in a while, TONS of people were spreading the rumor that “joy was dead” and “i’m her nephew and yes she passed away 3 weeks ago “ and then people heard her in a smash boom best episode and so everyone was like “she’s back!’’, and “she’s not dead!” so that was random but…😁
