Do geese see god? | PALINDROMES
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: https://podfollow.com/words-unravelle... or search for "Words Unravelled" wherever you get your podcasts. 📚Anthony Etherin's poems: https://x.com/Anthony_Etherin 📹 Write Words Make Magic ambigrams: / @writewordsmakemagic 🏆 The Symmys 2024: https://tcampbell.substack.com/p/symm... ==LINKS== Rob's YouTube channel: / robwords Jess' Useless Etymology blog: https://uselessetymology.com/ Rob on X: x.com/robwordsyt Jess on TikTok: tiktok.com/@jesszafarris #etymology #palindromes #wordsunravelled
