Summary

Happy 10th Anniversary, ABA Inside Track! Yes, after 10 years of laughs, research discussion, and podcasting, we're finally reaching the Tin-phase of the show (because we're so durable). Though, beyond our long-winded trips down memory lane, we're still here doing what we do best: Creating amazing discussions about topics and research that matter to behavior analysts. Plus a Book Club!

We kick the month off with some special guests including Dr. Kathleen Feeley who brings us up to speed on supporting children with Down syndrome using ABA methodology, and friend of the show, Dr. Casey Clay, who shows us how to extend preference assessment technology to the social interaction realms. Finally, we wrap up our regular episodes with a dip into OBM by reviewing the research on using public posting to improve employee performance. Then, our Spring Book Club sprouts with a very timely discussion of "The Anxious Generation" by Johnathan Haidt with Book Club Guy, Alan Haberman. Put down your social media feeds and pick up your mp3 players! It's learning time. In lieu of flowers and congratulations cards, you may think kind thoughts about us as you download all these episodes.

0:00.0	Hey, everybody. Welcome to ABA Inside Track, the podcast that's like reading in your car, but safer.
0:19.5	I'm your host and have been for the past 10 years, Robert Perry Cruz.
0:25.1	And I'm your lovable host, Jackie.
0:28.6	That is how I used to introduce myself in the first 50 episodes.
0:34.0	And I'm your other host, Diana.
0:37.7	Actually, in the first episode, I introduced
0:39.7	myself as Dr. Jacqueline McDonald.
0:42.1	And that's the one and only time
0:44.2	that I enshritted my professionalism into the podcast.
0:48.7	I mean, I think our first episode, technically,
0:50.4	this title, ABA, The Inside Track,
0:52.6	which, bleak, I'm glad we did not stick with that. I don't know where that came from. Anyway. Wow, 10 years, guys. This is a podcast about behavior analysis and behavior analytic research where every week we discuss a relevant topic to the field unless it is the end of the month, if you are one of our patrons, or at the beginning of the month, if you're listening on the free feed, where we do a preview episodes, talk about what's coming up this month as well as other
1:16.0	stuff related to behavior analysis and the podcast. This is the preview for March 26,

1:47.1	We did it. I can't believe it. Well, that's it, everyone. We're done now. It's been a while. Been a while. It's been a while. No, we're going to keep going because we already started recording this month and into the next month. So we got plenty episodes still to come. But we're going to take a little time this month to celebrate that we have done a podcast and released something related to behavior analysis, whether it's preview or a full-length
1:53.8	episode or a special thing every single week for 10 years.
1:59.4	I want you to know that my favorite preview has always the one where
2:02.4	we had the puppets. That is a great one. That is my most favorite preview when we were still
2:08.8	upstairs in your dining room and we got out the Muppet Puppets and it was like April or something
2:14.7	because we pretended it was raining. Oh, that one literally was my favorite.
2:19.2	We had some good video content.
2:20.8	I feel like if we had a bigger team, we probably would have gone into more silly video content, but we don't.
