    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 Star Wars 🐉 with bagpipes: It’s rude to call someone disgusting. Have you ever heard of something called an opinion? To podcastGurl: Hey l do agree with you. I’m glad you love God, and love learning about Him. But if you want to be a true believer, (not trying to sound rude) well God doesn’t say that pride is good. So what l’m trying to say is you can’t be a true believer of God if you like or support pride. :( To lovers: Can you chill? That’s all l ask and all l am going to say. 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 :) :> -alblack ❤️✝️

    >:(
    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

    Stop this war!!! (Read now!)
    Hi people that read these reviews! I know that I am new soooo I just wanted to say hello to fellow podcast reviewers! Now I don’t consider myself as a “lover” but I also don’t consider myself as a “hater” so I am in the middle I guess but i just wanted to say STOP THIS WAR! We don’t need to fight about a podcast that posted an episode about LGBT people almost three years ago!! I have read a LOT of these reviews (Which I find really entertaining) so I know WHY y’all are fighting some people don’t like LGBT people (like the haters) and then they end the review with a “Jesus loves you” but then the lovers get upset so they say something rued and complain that the haters a forcing religion on them. To lovers: I don’t think the haters are doing ANYTHING wrong they are simply sharing their opinion. Can we please make peace? It’s not that hard all you have to do is APOLOGIZE for being a little rued and then it’s up to the haters if they want to forgive To haters: I just wanted to start of with “Wow” you can really make an argument (which is not a bad thing) but maybe tone it down a little bit I can tell you have some STRONG opinions about LGBT people I personally don’t think there’s anything wrong with being a boy who wants to be a girl and a girl wanting to be a boy but it’s your opinions! And thats so special God made us so Unique in SO MANY WAYS which I adore like I will never find a person that agrees with me! What I think: I am actually a Christian believer I love learning about God I think he made us to argue with each other. I also happen to support anyone who feels differently like they want to be a girl or boy. I know some people will feel differently about this review and Thats is ok with me. I’m not offended that some of you guys don’t like that! But I still will cheer you on! Thank you for taking your time for reading this review. If you want to reply to this review feel free! I would love to hear what you think. I hope this is not my last review I actually LOVED writing this! I love you all!
  • 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!
    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 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍🌈

    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

    To Kellia Kean
    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!!!
  • Tay6467
