  • Easy to digest!

    Shayna and Shira present the information in a way that is informative, yet digestible. I listen to their podcasts while driving to work, while getting ready for work, or while getting ready for bed. Their explanations are relatable and applicable! I have recommended this podcast to many of my fellow BCBA friends:)
