    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 💖✨💕✨⭐️

    The best EVER!
    Forever ago is such an amazing podcast and I cannot believe that it is at risk. As an 11 year old I am going to use some of my pocket money and hold a bake sale to donate. Everyone has to pitch in and together we can keep forever ago alive. In the meantime keep up the great work joy and cohosts!

  • Dazzilena
    I have an idea and great podcast
    I love this podcast so much! I love all the cool facts and I love history so this podcast is perfect for me. I also have a great idea for one of your episodes, I think you should do one on, summer comes to some places at sometimes and other places at others since summer is coming up. I’ve always wondered this question and wanted to know why it’s so hot outside in the desert also me and my brother love playing outside but it’s just too hot and I wanna know why, why is it hot outside in Christmas Australia, but not in Arizona or California thank you for making this podcast

    I’m sorry I offended you but I just didn’t like how you were hating on this podcast I still stick with my opinion and I love this podcast. I’m sorry we don’t see eye to eye but I think it is good to have different opinions and perspectives I love you all and this will be my last review but what does It matter, we are all just human beings writing reviews. hope this review helps and I just wanted to say GOODBYE ( for now )✌️❤️🏳️‍🌈 BTW I support LGBTQ+ 🏳️‍🌈 PS stop hating on Joy dolo she is trying her very best so let’s all be fair and happy to have her as our podcast host I will be reviewing smash boom best #welovedolo

    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.
  • 13🌈🌈🌈
    Thank you 💙
    This is such a great podcast. Please listen to it. Joy is so kind and funny and really makes everyone feel represented. I’d also like to say thank you to JemimathePuddleduck (amazing name btw) for making a absolutely and amazing review, thank you. Again I am, sorry for my hurtful words in the past and will not say them again. Also Jemima, Ioved the tee hee jokes :). 13🌈🌈🌈 Ps. I am adding this later so please read if your a hater. I just want you to know the affect of your words because some of them have been a little offensive to me. I am Jewish so when you are saying that I should switch over to Christianity (you do sneak it in), I feel disrespected. I just want you to know that and please understand where I’m coming from :).

    Good podcast
    This podcast is the best history 📚podcast (in my opinion). Definitely give it a try if you haven’t listened🎧.Joy makes every episode funny 😆and keeps the podcast interesting. 🧐 Suggestions: 1. The history of handheld fans 🪭 2. The history of competitive swimming🏊 3. The history of sailing⛵️ 4. The history of bowed strings 🎻 (ex. Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass) Ehrm actually 🤓 Summer does not start until June 20th which is the summer solstice (which is accurate according to MANY trustworthy sources, look it up! Outdated info in my # era.) so as the spring break episode, it is still technically spring 🤓 Also, talking about religion is NOT APPROPRIATE in a podcast review. THIS IS NOT OK. Please stop. Not everyone follows your religion so just don’t, please, please, please stop. I don’t care what you say, TALKING ABOUT RELIGION IS NOT APPROPRIATE DOR A PODCAST REVIEW!!! If you do this just stop, i’m not saying you are wrong or not allowed to believe what you believe but this is not the space to do that. -ProudPrideCorgi🏳️‍🌈🐶 -プライドコーギー -Have a nice day! -良い一日を

    Episode Recommendation
    I LOVE your podcast so much. It’s so fun to listen to and it’s taught me a lot of things about history that I never knew before. I had an idea for an episode: the history of popular music/musical artists, like Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, and Ariana Grande. If you made an episode about those people it would make me so happy! Thank you so much!!!
  • Olive 🫒 e

  • Zanedone
    Someone tell me why is everyone being mean
    I just read a FEW comments and I immediately see a comment saying that the haters don’t have a loving heart and I hate that they said that also I’m sort of on the haters side but that’s because everyone is just being rude honestly the haters are super kind you just need to put yourself in there shoes or I’m saying that to haters too you need your mindset to be the same as the person who wrote the comment that is the best way how you understand the comment also on one is wrong in this fight NO ONE ITS ONLY OPINIONS THATS it BYE-Zanedone
  • Nu Simpson the kindest ever💋
    You need to stop *that one cowgirl and alback16 and Madom B <3

  • JemimathePuddleduck
    Love it!
    Love this podcast! You should make an episode about balloons! To the hater: It’s great you want to stand up for what you believe in, but can you take a deep breath? The pride episode was almost two years ago, and they haven’t released another LGBT related episode since. You can easily skip it. Also, if black people being equally represented makes you feel bad about yourself, imagine how it feels for black people only being told about white people? I’m white, and it doesn’t make me feel bad to simply hear about history. Black people have always been a part of history, since the dawn of the human race. And I mean that literally, considering humans originated from Etiopia. Not to say everyone is black, it’s just something to consider. P.S. It’s Homo-Saipan not hetero-Saipan, it’s the Bible not the straightble, it’s transport not cisport! Tee hee jokes :) To the lovers: It’s great that you love history, and want people to be nice to each other. I love history, it makes me happy to learn about it. But, you guys haven’t all been kind either! You’ve been nicer than the haters for the most part, but there still has been some mean people. Being rude or just blatantly disagreeing with someone, won’t change years of told something is bad. The best you can do, as hard as it is, is stop arguing. I’m not saying that you should agree with them, I’m saying you should stop trying to make them agree. It doesn’t change anything, and just makes people want to change your mind. So take a deep breath and chill. If you want to argue, instead of attacking the person, present true facts that disagree with them, instead of falling into a fallacy. To everyone: no one should be forced into believing anything, but I think that if we stop arguing, and just leave behind that mindset, then everyone will be a lot happier. We all need to stop making fun of people, and just accept that people are all different, but no one is forcing you to be that way. I hope this arguing stops, and we can get back to just saying if we liked the podcast or not. From, JemimathePuddleduck. P.S. I just turned 14 on Easter! P.P.S. Tysm - - - -is Cool1234skibiddy blob! I’m glad you found my review helpful! If you don’t mind tho there are some things in your review that you might want to change just to make it more effective. Mostly just have real reasons in your review why Madam b <3 is wrong, instead of just saying she is, because she probs won’t listen to that. I do agree with you, that she is wrong. Anyway, thank you so much! ❤️

    Hi
    Omg sigma girl rizzler I TOTALLY AGREE I hate Mayo but LOVE Kewpie Mayo! And this podcast!!! ❤️❤️❤️keep doing the great work you already are! 😊
  • Madam B <3
    My thoughts
    First of all, this podcast isn’t even that good, regardless of the content. Like, four episodes of the actual show before another non-episode? Genuinely shows the hosts and crew don’t care about what they’ve created or the listeners. And that brings us to the next point. 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
