EP17: Olympic wheelbarrow racing (with special guest Louise Banham) [776 BCE]

At the first ever Olympics Keon sets out to win a gold medal and introduce some new sports to the Games, starring special guest Louise Banham as the voice of Game Master. Channelling his ‘inner Jonathan Edwards’ he gets the crowd going, but not before exploring some ancient Greek trash talking, all under the watchful supervision of Game Master’s stern moral compass. Next Keon ditches PowerPoint and uses physical demonstration to persuade the Olympic Committee to accept wheelbarrow racing as an event. (Seriously, check out our AI art showing ancient Greeks trying to get their heads around wheelbarrow racing…) Is the egg and spoon race a bridge too far for the Olympic Committee? What is the most foul-mouthed trash-talk Game Master can come up with? Was Keon wearing any clothes during this entire escapade? Find out all of this and more.
