Summary

I’ve always maintained that this is a show that is all about the listeners and the guests, and so it is with that in mind that I’m thrilled to share the following interview segments that were nominated by so many of you. We did have many entries, so I couldn’t fit all of them in, but I genuinely appreciate all of you who took the time to write in and share your thoughts.

While I’m expressing gratitude here, I’d be remiss to not mention the support that I’ve received from podcast sponsors, especially the OG’s like Barb Voss at HRIC Recruiting and Behavior University. I’m also very thankful to all of you who have supported the show through Continuing Education sales, and Patreon memberships.

Together, we’ve created this medium that has been downloaded almost 3.6 million times in over 100 countries. As I’ve told many friends and colleagues, back when I was conceptualizing this show, I always knew there would be an audience for this type of content, but I had no idea that it would develop into what it is these days.

All of this to say that I’m extraordinarily thankful for all of you who have tuned in over the years. Thanks so much for letting Behavioral Observations into your commutes, your workouts, your laundry folding, your dog walking… or when or wherever else you take in the show. It’s been a privilege to be able to share these conversations with you, and I look forward to the next 200 episodes!

Here's what we have in store for you:

Lastly, huge thanks to Miguel Avila, Celia Heyman, Natalie Todd, Rob Harvey, Sarah DiGioia, Alesia Patterson, Alexa, as well as my colleague, Jen Farris (who also nominated some of the same segments from Session 63, which I forgot to mention in the broadcast).

Hi everyone. My name is Miguel Avila and like many of you, I'm a fellow longtime behavioral

observations podcast listener. It is truly an honor for me to introduce episode 200 of the podcast.

0:14.3

When I say I'm a long-time listener, let me give you an idea of what I mean. I did some digging and found an email I sent to Matt back in 2016.

0:24.6

I wanted to praise him for offering our field this excellent resource and recommended a couple of guests,

0:30.6

who I'm proud to say, having in high demand appearing in multiple episodes, namely Dr. Merrill Winston and Patrick McGreevy.

Since then, I've been fortunate to meet Matt personally, both in his hometown in New Hampshire

0:45.6

and at conferences, often stressing how impactful his podcast has been to so many from the

newly minted to the season BCBAs.

Now, let me give you just a bit more context for my being here.

In October of 2019, I had the privilege of spending a couple of days with Dr. Hanley as he

consulted in Nicaragua, a casual conversation about our mutual appreciation for this podcast and the realization that

1:13.8

the 100th episode was fast approaching led to the idea of celebrating Matt's milestone

1:18.9

by turning the table and interviewing him.

As many of you know, Dr. Hanley came through.

He did a great job conducting the interview and celebrating

the podcast milestone. Well, two years and a pandemic later, we've come to another milestone,

1:35.9

this time being session 200. The podcast has duplicated the number of episodes with a wealth

of topics, perspectives, and resources,

from research to practice, to precision teaching, to act, to behavioral economics, to making
