On this week's podcast:

Democracy was invented in Ancient Greece. What would the great minds of Athens think of democracy in New Zealand today? Do we actually live in a democracy?

James Kierstead, lecturer in Classics at Victoria University, is a specialist in Greek history and political philosophy.

We talk democracy and government... then and now.

We take a look at Sri Lanka, and the suffering the Tories will endure now that Boris Johnson has gone.

And finally, of course, The Mailroom.
