I enjoy this podcast so much. It provides timely content that is directly relevant to my work and is presented in an easily consumable, “friendly conversation” type format. Some Bonus Points!!!

Thanks Matt Cicoria! Please keep doing what you do!
I really enjoyed that
The host is amazing and comes with wonderful questions that allow the guest to expose their knowledge and unveil the side of behavioral analysis that they are experts in.
I just listened to episode of 309 and I am so thankful that these conversations are being had. It was an eye opening conversation because it provided examples of how misinterpretation of behaviors can have adverse and sometimes deadly effects on people who have autism. Autism training and awareness should be required in law enforcement.
Matt Cicoria is my absolute favorite podcaster. He has a variety of topics and variety of interviewees which all support behavior analysis.
