Summer just keeps heating up and we've got plenty of fireworks bursting out of your ol' podcatcher. We're celebrating a month full of Wednesdays with a month full of episodes featuring special guests like Dr. Holly Gover and Dr. Amy Odum to dig deep into the world of feeding selectivity treatment and delay discounting. Then we gather round the microphones to look at whether DRA without extinction is a pipe dream or a beautiful, non-coercive reality before heading into the wayback machine with our Fall 2022 talk from the Thompson Center for Autism Conference about quality of life. Then, for you patrons out there, we'll be hitting the books (club) to discuss B.F. Skinner's only novel, "Walden Two" which, we swear, is actually a ton of fun to read...if you're the kind of person who willingly does a podcast about behavior analysis at least. And, also only for patrons, vote on next month's live episode topic with another loser bracket of some of our (but not your!) favorite new topics.

UPDATE: Our Bonus Episode of the Thompson Center talk will actually now be coming out NEXT month. Sorry for the last-minute change.
