We have been producing Anomaly episodes for seven years, but it wasn’t until recently that we were able to review our stats to see which episodes resonated the most with our audience. That transition occurred two years ago when we switched to Libsyn. Now we know where our listeners are from (country, region and city), and how many times they download or streaming each episode. Don’t worry, we don’t know anything more than that. You can take the aluminum foil hat off your head ;)

We wanted to share our top ten episodes, from the past two years, incase you’re new to our show or if you are the type to pick and choose between episodes. People really enjoyed these, maybe you will too. We also include links to similar episodes.

Below, the top ten Anomaly episodes are listed in descending order. I hope you’ll check them out and if you haven’t already, please subscribe to our podcast feed for the latest editions. You can also find back episodes in our archive, just don’t judge the early ones too harshly, we’ve come a long way since then. I hope you enjoy these episodes. Let us know if you have comments on these or any other show. Join our  community of listeners: Facebook Group and Twitter.
