Episode Synopsis

In this special two-part episode of History N' Games, host Meghan Sullivan talks about the hilarious mob simulator Okhlos: Omega, and how it (accidentally) reflects the crazy real-life origins of Western Democracy.  Then in the second episode, Meghan will talk to Professor Josiah Ober of Stanford University about whether or not democracy is currently in danger. *Note: All Greek names are pronounced as close to the 6th/5th century BCE style as possible.
