The Association for Behavior Analysis International created a bi-weekly audio resource called “Behavior Analysis in Practice—The Podcast.” It will probably be unsurprising that the podcast is associated with the academic journal, Behavior Analysis in Practice (a sibling of Perspetives on Behavior Science to which I referred in the fall of 2021 when it published an excellent series of articles about Direct Instruction).

The podcast’s description is

Behavior Analysis in Practice is the podcast committed to narrowing the research-practice gap and demystifying the research process. Each episode, we’ll take a deep-dive into the latest research published in the Behavior Analysis in Practice journal by asking the authors about their process, the nuances of the study that didn’t make it into the final report, and the questions you wish you could ask the authors after reading the paper.

Readers who listen to the podcast will hear interviews, conducted by Cody Morris, with people who have published papers in the journal. Since February of 2021, there have been many excellent episodes. I shan’t list them all, but here are a few examples that SET readers might find interesting:

• Black Women and Barriers to Leadership in ABA with Nasiah Cirincione

  -Ulezi.

• Mindful Parenting: A Behavioral Tool for Parenting Well-Being with Jessica Fuller

• Comparing Skill Acquistion Under Different Stimulus Set Sizes with Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Replication with Jason Vladescu

• A Tutorial for the Design and Use of Assessment-Based Instruction in Practice with Tiffany Kodak

• Precision Teaching and Behavior Dynamics with Rick Kubina

• Features of Direct Instruction: Content Analysis with Tim Slocum

• In His Own Words: Siegfried “Zig” Engelmann Talks about What’s Wrong with Education and How to Fix it with Bill Heward

That list includes just seven of the many episodes these podcast folks have provided. I hope my brief list shows the breadth of topics as well and the excellent quality of guests interviewed.
