And, coming all the way from the other side of the podcast-o-sphere, it\u2019s Rob with special guest (i.e., ringer) Dr. Allen Karsina, ready to tangle in support of the current code because rules are the scaffolding that holds our moral wills and skills to be ethical together. It\u2019s no-holds barred on this week\u2019s episode. Four BCBAs enter\u2026only two will leave!
