In this episode, Rob and Jess dive headfirst into the topsy-turvy world of palindromes: words, phrases, and numbers that read the same backward and forward. From the humble “wow“ to a mind-boggling 1,300-word monster, we've got the subject covered from top to bottom (and back to front). 🔁 What's the longest known palindrome? 🔁 What's the oldest we've ever found? 🔁 Who were the winners at this year's palindrom awards (The Symmsys)? These questions answered and more in another Words Unravelled. 👂LISTEN: or search for “Words Unravelled“ wherever you get your podcasts. 📚Anthony Etherin's poems: 📹 Write Words Make Magic ambigrams: @WriteWordsMakeMagic/videos 🏆 The Symmys 2024: ==LINKS== Rob's YouTube channel: Jess' Useless Etymology blog: Rob on X: Jess on TikTok: @jesszafarris #etymology #palindromes #wordsunravelled
