    I’m starting to feel like some people don’t understand what a comment should be, so I’ll teach you guys! A good comment would be like this: “this podcast is great for kids and families! I would totally recommend this!” And a comment saying they don’t like this podcast is:”I personally would no recommend” Here’s my review! I love this podcast soooooooooôöòóœøōõooooooooo0oooo much! I would totally recommend

    My favorite episodes are how did the Girl Scouts get started and Josephine backer:diva and WWII spy! I love those episodes. I can’t wait until the new episodes come out. I just know I am going to love them. Also I love all of the episodes. I just like those ones more.

    Thank you all for supporting forever ago! 👍🏼 ❤️
    Hi! I haven’t posted in awhile and I hope some people agree with me. Lovers: please stop being mean to the haters. They have their own opinion so do you. Haters: you have a very strong opinion and I respect that but sometimes you go a little bit overboard. This is about the podcast review section is not just talking with other people. Please leave that for IRL. Everybody has their own opinion and I respect that. I love this podcast and I really hope everybody keeps listening to it. Remember that every podcast in the brains on universe is struggling right now, so please help donate!💵 forever ago is one of my favorite podcasts along with smash boom best. And FINALLY to ALL of the listeners out there: thank you for reading this and listening to forever ago. I love this podcast and I hope you do too! Keep on listening and stay curious!!!!!!! - F-d@_POTATOR🥔

    Ok
    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 kid’s 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. It happened to me. 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 miathescientist: (sorry if l got your name wrong) um. Did you say that we are saying we’re the only ones who can be right? That is not true. I don’t think you got what we said. Everyone isn’t perfect. There are imperfections that happen. So just to clarify, we (at least l) don’t think that. To lovers: l am learning to love my enemies. So if you have any problems with me please tell me. To haters: hey sorry l haven’t posted in a while. I drove up to North Carolina with my family to see my Aunt get baptized! Away, let’s not get are hopes down! We got this! Spreading the word of God. Bye! :D :) :> p.s. that’s how it started. Spreading the word. We need to let go and spread the word. The true word. -alblack ❤️✝️

    I think this is a great podcast. Can you do an episode on Ice Hockey? 𝖱𝖾𝗀𝗀𝗂𝖾𝖿𝖺𝗇𝟣𝟤𝟥𝟧𝟨: ᒪOᐯᗴ ⓉⒽⒺ ⓊⓈⒺⓇⓃⒶⓂⒺ Haters: I get it. You are stating your opinion. Pride is something that you can agree, or disagree with. That’s OK! But… try not to be rude, or make non-Christians feel bad, again, there is no right or wrong in opinions. Lovers: Yes, I LOVE this podcast, but, you are being unfair to the haters. They are allowed to have opinions, even if we disagree with them. I agree with some of the other lovers, that you shouldn’t hate someone because of how they feel about a podcast. Avocado Jean: people keep calling you disgusting out of frustration. No, I don’t agree with you, but I would never call anyone I did’t know disgusting! Also, I know you’re not TRYING to be mean but you are saying basically, “I disagree with pride, please don’t hate me, oh and by the way, I’m right because if you’re not Christian you are wrong.”

    I love this podcast can you do an episode about the history of pizza?
  • its_mars
    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*pe 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 ps: happy pride!!!
  • 🏳️‍🌈Annie🏳️‍🌈

    Hi, I’m almost ten and I LOVE THIS PODCAST SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are so amazing and funny! I love the episode about pride because I am lesbian and it made me feel good. Can you please do an episode about puzzles? I also just want to say that my mom wrote a book called Don’t Let It Get You Down and if you are an adult you should read it because it won the Living The Dream Award. Also to allblack16: that hurt. Just cuz you don’t support pride doesn’t make it bad. Forever ago is an AMAZING PODCAST and I love it so much. I hope people see this and and you support pride comment a heart when you write your review. Thank you for reading this and I hope you have a wonderful day❤️

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
    I’ve listened to every episode EVER they are so good! I have smarty pass so it’s amazing but why do you guys have so many sneak peeks and barely any smarty pass episodes? Look I love the podcast haters go away and just I love you joy😘💖✨
  • Doremusc
    The best podcast in the world.🌎
    Joy is so funny.😂😂😂😂😂 I love the idea you made the podcast.
  • strawberry coco
    totally agree
    i totally agree with🍊🍌🫐ect. hope i got ur name right . please do one on the great depression?????
  • zoes mlm
    Love it!!!!!!
    I don’t get the hate! It’s an incredible podcast! I respect religion but it’s also important to learn things through the victims perspective. Or maybe just extra information. And if you don’t want your kid to listen to an episode then don’t play it it’s that easy! And opinions are opinions if someone doesn’t like what you like it’s okay but as long as you’re not rude about it it’s a perfectly fine opinion. Also I’d like an episode about stuffed animals please if you can’t I respect that. I know Joy is busy but if she could I hope so because they are awesome. Love the show so much 100/10❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
  • Zanedone
    I’m with podcastGurl
    PodcastGurl you are saying the exact same thing that I’m saying and I support you and so this “war” has been going on for 3 years we need to end it but one thing I think the haters are trying to inform new people and that’s we the lovers keep going so this will never end. Bye-zanedone Ps I’m on summer break so hopefully I can post more

  • Star Wars 🐉 With Bagpipes
    Don’t listen Avocado Jean, Kellia Kean and Boba tea 20 are right.
    Is honestly just turned into a battle zone. Everyone thinks this podcast is anti-white and bad for children Etc. Its hard for me to listen to it with all these bad comments just sitting around at the bottom of the page. If you have bad thoughts, then just give it one star reading and don’t review it. Honestly, it’s hard to even give it four stars because of this awful behavior on part of all these people who hate this podcast are bringing down these kids! I know many people stand with me so join me!!! Happy summer and best wish wishes,Star Wars 🐉 With Bagpipes. Avocado Jean has been a totally disgusting human.

    Pawsome podcast! I love it! So great! totally recommend!! Also, Thanks for the guide dog episode idea Oliver! I want to be a guide dog trainer and that episode told me I wasn’t the only kid who does stuff like that
  • Eye 👁️wuv🩷kandee🍬🍭
    Very good podcast!💕🥳
    Haters, it is fine to not like this podcast . But you can just keep that to yourself. Just because you might not like something doesn’t mean others won’t. Please don’t make others feel bad even if you are feeling bad. Please don’t go out of your way to make other people disappointed. Maybe try to keep your opinions to yourself so you don’t hurt anyone’s feelings. Rather than saying, “oh no, this podcast is awful” You could just say ” I don’t really like this podcast but maybe you will”. If you think the episodes got worse, then don’t say ,like, “ it used to be good and now it is awful” Just don’t say anything at all. So I am asking all y’all not to spread the hate, but to spread the love 💖✨💕✨⭐️ Ps. I just wanted to tell y’all I support LGBTQ 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍🌈
