In this episode, Rob and Jess dive headfirst into the topsyturvy world of palindromes: words, phrases, and numbers that read the same backward and forward. From the humble "wow" to a mindboggling 1,300word 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.
