“Kate and Doree are fun and I truly enjoy listening to them. I would like it if they would have a more diverse range of guests in terms of the reason they’re on the pod. It seems like the only reason they ever have guests on is to promote their books and they don’t talk to anyone who is not an...”Read full review »

“Pro-tip: You can tell how many minutes of each episode are ad content by looking at the run times both before and after you start playing an episode. For example, it will display “43 minutes” before hitting play, then jumps up to like 56 minutes after it starts playing. This tells me there are...”Read full review »

“As other reviewers have noted, this podcast has gone downhill. I’ve been listening for about 5 years and I didn’t sign up for the paid podcast on Patreon when it was introduced. I realize they need to make a living but are they saving the good stuff for the listeners who paid for content? It...”Read full review »

“I have been listening to this show from the beginning and I love it! BUT the ads have gotten ridiculous at this point. I think they are longer than the actual content. Plus they also spend time every podcast reviewing their website, where to contact them, Patreon etc. I don’t think any other...”Read full review »

“I used to love this podcast. The ads have been steadily increasing for awhile now. This latest episode I think we’ve finally hit the point where the ads are longer than the content. It’s ridiculous to listen to.”

“I have been a listener since the beginning of the pod and have truly loved it. However, the number of ads are just out of control. I have never listened to a podcast with so many advertisements, it makes me not want to listen as much. I thought the pateron would help limit the number of ads but I...”Read full review »

“I’ve listened for years, but the recent push for joining Patreon and the numerous teasers for Patreon-only episodes have definitely put me off. It seems that’s the primary focus now.”

“I used to love this pod and tuned in today for the first time in about a year. Wow. Kate’s energy is still there, but Doree’s flat, chipped replies are uncomfortable to listen to. I just listened to the episode with Becca Freeman and Doree sounds like she’d rather be anywhere else. Such a bummer.”

“After not listening for a while, I listened to an episode for the guest.
The hosts used their intro time to complain about millennials. Ma’am, millennials are 35. Might be time to rebrand “Forever 50””

“I’m so sad that my formerly favorite podcast has completely gone downhill. I would’ve absolutely paid for the patreon when I first started listening during the pandemic but the content has gone so downhill. Doree and Kate need to move on to something new because they clearly aren’t into it anymore.”

“I’m so unhappy with the new model, and how you left all your FB pages and abandoned the admin who put in work for years. Dory always sounds grouchy so hopefully the extra money is helping her out with that.”

“This used to be my favourite podcast. Between the huge amount of ads, “live” shows, skincare consulting, wardrobe consulting and recent decline in content, I think the ship has sailed on Forever35. It’s all starting to feel like a desperate cash grab.
Maybe they should consider getting a paper...”Read full review »

“The hosts built their brand on a volunteer-run community, and recently hung them out to dry. I feel sad I have recommended this podcast to so many people. The podcasts themselves are no longer as interesting or entertaining as they once were. Wouldn’t recommend it.”

“I loved this podcast so much for years.

Where there used to...”Read full review »

“UPDATE 6/2023: I am disappointed in Kate and Doree’s decision to move to a paid Discord model over keeping the Facebook groups. Discord doesn’t work like FB does in the way of threading, and is more suited for DM-style conversation. Furthermore, making a community that is paid will alter the type...”Read full review »

“I get it that the ads pay the bills. However, they are detracting from the pod and the spirit and messaging of the pod.
