Hi, my name is Joy Dolow and this is um, hold on, okay. Hi, my name is Joy Dolow. I mean,

hi, this is long ago. Like, I mean, hi, I'm forever ago and this is nuts. Joy, what's going on?

Hey, Ezra, I'm so excited because forever ago is back for a second season. If you haven't heard

the first season, check it out in your favorite podcast player. We looked into where shoes,

cameras and sandwiches came from. But it's been so long since then, I forgot how to host.

It's easy. Say forever ago is a history show for the whole family.

Where are we digging to the past? To find all kinds of surprising stories that shaped our world.

Like, did you know that ancient Romans used to scrape dirt off of their bodies instead of

taking a shower? Yeah, or that ice cream used to be flavored with whale poo?

And so much more, there will also be games and we'll hear it from other kids too.

Wow, you're really good at this. I can't wait to listen.

Well, you're hosting, so I'm pretty sure you'll hear it.

Oh, yeah, thanks for the help. I'm Joy Dolo. Explore the past with season two of Forever

Ago. Our first episode is coming June 1st. Tell your friends and go ahead and follow today
