The first episode of Season Two and the eleventh episode in the history of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is writer/novelist Denise Cruz-Castino.
Also known as Dame Denise of Floren. Home to the best cocktails in the world and so exclusive, it sorta works like the Clubhouse app. 10 million people may have passports but only 1 million can live on Floren at a time. Oh and also make sure to bring a knife with you. For some reason that's very important.
If your knife is stolen then Dame Denise will buy you a new knife. If you need a new job Dame Denise will give you a loan worth half a million too.
"None of this is real, what do I care?"
Wise words from a wise Dame.

Tenth and final episode of Season One of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is actress Nikoline Bangen.
An unfortunate editing mishap by the host has caused a zombie plague to be unleashed on Norway. Thankfully Nikoline, with a vast knowledge of government buildings and their decor, is on hand to lead a group of 100 survivors who just so happened to be on tour near her house. With 40 survivors over the age of 80 (including 91 year old pregnant former sailor Sarah) Nikoline quickly figures out the best shelter for them. A few days in this government building and then they can journey to the nearby docks where they can find a boat to sail out in search of a safe island.
However, as zombies surround the building, tempers flair amongst survivors due to a heated arm wrestling contest for the use of their only mattress. Added to this dilemma is the arrival of tyrannical soldier Laurence and his men. Nikoline must keep the peace between two groups of survivors and convince them they need to get ready for the journey to the docks.
Can Nikoline keep her survivors, which include ex MMA trainee and mattress enthusiast Mark, quiet guy Nor Wayne and my mother Hannah, alive? Will Nikoline help Laurence find the 12th in line to the Norwegian throne? Listen to find out.

Ninth episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest are improv comedy group - Those Four Misfits: Doug Kayne, Jane Hopkins and Ryan Provencher.
Also known as The Alpha's of Misfitopia. Just so you know which Tyrant is which, Alpha Alpha is Doug, Alpha Beta is Jane and Alpha Gamma is Ryan. However if you ask Alpha Beta then Ryan is Alpha Alpha but if you ask Ryan or Doug then Doug is Alpha Alpha. Don't worry, it somehow works!
Having gained control of the island from former leader, Reginald Humbug, the trio of tyrants have been busy with foreign policies such as attacking dangerous insects in Australia, bombing Hamburg and starring in Sesame Street. Of course on the domestic front, many scandals have engulfed the tyrannical administration. Scandals most likely to start when Alpha Alpha utters the phrase "If I may". He has been demoted many times so it really depends on the day whether Alpha Alpha is Alpha Delta, Alpha Epsilon or Alpha Omega.
Misfitopia, a beautiful nation, not only initiates a world first "Free Coke" scheme for the world but is also the only country to become mobile, running proudly from the forceful U.N who are chasing them after the trio blindsided a world leader with an impromptu steel cage match.

Eight episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is Screenwriter Terri Viani.
Also known as The Captain of Winter. An island north of Alaska with spectacular scenery and boasting, for some strange reason, the highest emigration in the world! People really do love to join the country of Winter and then quickly realize that it is far too cold.
For anyone who wants to live here, expect to take an advanced common sense test to see if you got what it takes to live in this frozen paradise. If you don't know how to cut down trees for fire, or fish for food then really this place may not be for you. But if you do, great! Winter provides financial support to anyone joining the country.
It also boasts a wonderful chocolate industry thanks to the Captain taking bribes from the chocolate tycoons to keep their taxes low. That might be a scandal but nobody cares, that chocolate is really good. Unfortunately, the Captain still has to answer for "Thick-Eejit-Gate" which is a serious issue!
Captain Terri handles criticism of her country by lashing out at the "government of Scandinavia" calling them shifty and promising to produce concrete evidence of what they are up to.

Seventh episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is Screenwriter, Actor, Producer, Kyle Andrews.
Also known as His Dudeness of the island of Bostonia. An island boasting the brilliant ambassadorial talents of Ethan Coen (Joel is there too) and a place where second guessing yourself is strictly not allowed. (Changing your mind is permitted though)
For anyone who wants to live here. Helpful hint for the border guards questioning you. You will be asked "Knock, Knock" and if you don't answer "Who's there" You are out on your ass. Don't worry though if you don't know what Dad jokes are. His Dudeness and his government will provide a father for you in that case. This has led to a massive influx of orphans into the country.
A paradise for people who want to learn how to become the best sheep shearer in the world. Just don't ask His Dudeness to do any shearing. That happened once and it sadly ended with him murdering several people during his attempt.
Kyle, the first guest to willingly create a scandal for himself that includes him murdering several other human beings. He's a nice guy.

Sixth episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is CEO & Executive Producer of San Fenix, comedian, actress, filmmaker Andrea Bridges-Smith.
Also known as the Premier of the island of Volcania. Home of the best fruit salads in the world and champion of feeding the hungry.
A paradise for people who love good fresh fruit, healthy living and a great standard of living. Unfortunately if you're name is Ted Cruz you will probably be monitored for some time in case you're the same Ted as the man from Texas. Also be warned, if you try to bring in any of that yellow mustard stuff you will be caught, forced down to the docks and made to row for a solid hour and extra hour added onto each time you are caught thereafter. Fortunately this has replaced expensive gym memberships and become a great way to get exercise!
Pay no attention to the minor scandal involving the Premier burping into future soccer manager Fred's face while he discussed his long life of starvation. Fred may have dropped into a coma due to it but he's a strong 112 year old. He WILL recover. The Premier is in no way an insane tyrant, even if she has gone to the hospital to visit Fred and ended up forcing a patient to wear a dress made of x-rays. What sturdy tyrant wouldn't do that?
Volcania might be a lovely island paradise thanks to the Premier but unfortunately it does end with her running for a boat and taking beloved actor Billy Porter with her.

Fifth episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is actor, screenwriter, director, youtuber Cedric Gegel.
Also known as the M.C.P, the Most Celebrated Pomp of the Mediterranean island of Naboo (not affiliated with Disney and we are happy to fight for the naming rights in court!) .
An environmentalists dreamland with no cars permitted on the island. You can also enjoy the world famous brownies and other bakery goods Naboo has to offer. Fred, the beloved 90 year old senator is even promising a 20ft brownie at the next festivities. Don't worry, he's not carrying it!
Pay no attention to the minor scandal involving certain books being banned such as Romeo & Juliet. Cedric, our M.C.P, feels terrible about this rash decision. He also does not condone Brian's behavior in the Department of War and has moved him onto the streets to sweep up leaves. Since the island is 80% forest park there is a great chance Brian is going to be driven insane. Driven...get it. (No cars, you see!)
This episode features a large cast of characters including Brian, Paul, Lauren, Captain Adam and the M.C.P's favorite goon - Ajax.
My God, what a disastrous inner circle they all turned out to be!
Happy New Year (Newboo Year)
