On the occasion of Eveleth's MJ Bear Fellowship in 2016, the selection committee commented: [4]

"Straddling the bright horizon between science and science fiction, Fast Forward is an engaging and informative podcast about how we live in and imagine the future. As creator and host of this solo project, Rose is not just shaping an imagined future, but [their] own.

Most notably, among the gifts Rose offers journalism is imagination and a long view into the future."
