While nothing lasts forever, like a cold November podcast about behavior analysis, we give thanks for the fun topics that we can all enjoy before winter rolls in. First, spooky season continues with the creepiest grab bag episode ever! Then we’re joined by Dr. Corey Stocco who’ll be telling some truths about lying behavior. Finally, break out the smocks and easels because we wrap up the fall with a listener’s choice episode about behavioral artistry. So, join us by the fire with your leftover Halloween candy as we podcast into the night (or morning or whenever you want to listen).
