Forever Ago is a history-focused production from the Brains On! Universe and American Public Media, hosted by Twin Cities improv performer Joy Dolo. The series utilizes a character-driven storytelling format to teach children critical thinking by investigating the origins of everyday objects, from umbrellas and school uniforms to the cultural history of the banjo. Dolo often employs recurring segments like the chronological guessing game First Things First to engage young listeners in historical analysis. A recent highlight includes a high-profile collaboration with Avery Trufelman of Articles of Interest to trace the eight-century evolution of school attire. The show consistently prioritizes inclusive history, demonstrated through deep dives into the lives of trailblazers like Shirley Chisholm and the Indigenous roots of North American traditions. This theatrical approach translates to interactive live stage shows where Dolo brings historical Eureka moments to life using games, singing, and comedic skits for families and educators.
