Show notes:

The first “real” episode of the Backyard Ecology podcast went live on December 3, 2020. (Technically that was episode 2, but I don’t count the introduction episode as a “real” episode because all I was doing was telling you that I was going to start the Backyard Ecology podcast.) This is episode 40, and we are fast approaching 25,000 total downloads. I am excited by how both the Backyard Ecology blog and the Backyard Ecology podcast have grown over the last year, and I am thankful to all my listeners and readers.

In this episode of the Backyard Ecology podcast, I thought it would be fun to review the top 10 most downloaded episodes in 2021. Maybe you’ll find one that you missed, or be reminded of one that you wanted to listen to but then forgot about. Hopefully, you’ll also be reminded of some of the episodes that you really enjoyed.

Also, let me know in the comments what your favorite episode was this year. Was it one of these? Or was it another one that didn’t make the top 10 list? I know there were a lot of good episodes that didn’t quite make the top 10 list.
