About this episode

Hi friends!

We’ve been busy at Forever Ago headquarters. Joy’s organizing her chaos closet, we’re making a bunch of new episodes of Forever Ago AND we’re getting ready for a super fun live show!

Join Joy on November 10th in Minneapolis, MN as she takes the audience on a trek through time, exploring Eureka moments that led to amazing inventions. Find out how a bath became a breakthrough, how a mold-covered dish ended up saving lives and more. There will be games, singing, giant cartoons and a talking bag of frozen peas. Plus, kids will learn how they can have Eureka moments of their own, all while discovering the weird and wonderful history all around us.

A brand new episode of Forever Ago is coming out on October 9th — plus lots more this fall!
