About the show
The Apple of Truth is a bi-weekly podcast where we nerd out about our favourite shows, episode by episode, while trying to stay spoiler free. Right now we are covering The Sandman and we hope to enrich your dreams and haunt your nightmares.
Beware! There will be swearing, poking fun at religion, general overabundance of fangirling and probably pointless discussions, but since we have shitloads of fun with this, we hope you can laugh with us.

Episode 139: TAOT The Sandman S1E06
April 17th, 2024 | 1 hr 34 mins
The duality of this episode worked really well for us, with essentially two separate stories and two new characters introduced, we had few reasons to complain. That being said, we still found some.
-
Episode 138: TAOT The Sandman S1E05
April 3rd, 2024 | 1 hr 20 mins
Our final John episode and Lina is very sad. But aside from that, we really loved this one!
Vero has some interesting feelings about this, Lina is a bit confused, there are some special moments for each of us and despite staying mostly on track, we still managed to go on longer than planned.
-
Episode 137: TAOT The Sandman S1E04
March 20th, 2024 | 1 hr 24 mins
As Lina says at one point of this episode, at least one of us liked every part of this episode.
-
Episode 136: TAOT The Sandman S1E03
March 6th, 2024 | 1 hr 36 mins
We're getting into our grove with this one and it is becoming clear: We love the episodes - just very different parts!
So listen while Vero keeps cheering for Joanna Constantine and Lina has all the curiousness and understanding for John Cribbs.
And yes, we still have some arguments, but most are fun this time :D
Enjoy! -
Episode 135: TAOT The Sandman S1E02
February 21st, 2024 | 1 hr 6 mins
After Dream finally escapes his prison, he starts a search for his items of power, as Lina searches for ways to excuse The Corinthian, and Vero falls for a new character.
-
Episode 134: TAOT The Sandman S1E01
February 7th, 2024 | 1 hr 55 mins
New show, who dis? We are venturing into the Dreaming and one of us has never been there! Strap in for probably our longest regular episode yet, where we learn many things about each other and manage to get into arguments about the most random things.
-
Episode 133: TAOT Coraline - The Book #3
January 24th, 2024 | 1 hr 4 mins
The final episode covers all the rest and of course includes our final thoughts. Strap in to join the good fight and see what wonderfully random tangents we come up with this time. And do let us know if you are team pineapple on pizza or if you are maybe even team banana on pizza.
-
Episode 132: TAOT Coraline - The Book #2
January 10th, 2024 | 53 mins 43 secs
Remember how Vero said we never shut up? Yeah, she was right. Part Two is obviously not the final part, we barely make it through chapters 5, 6 and 7.
Join in for the juicy middle part, where we get puns, debates, tangents and so much more. -
Episode 131: TAOT Coraline - The Book #1
December 27th, 2023 | 1 hr 9 mins
After talking endlessly about Coraline, the movie, we can't move on without getting deep into the book as well. Part One covers the first four chapters.
-
Episode 130: TAOT Coraline - The Movie #3
December 13th, 2023 | 1 hr 18 mins
The final part of our Coraline coverage! And oh myyy are you in for something. We realise we don't dislike a single character in this (how weird), we feel with and for Coraline, we keep praising the Cat, we debate if just maybe the other Mother is simply misunderstood, we theorize about the potential locations of the parents, Lina continues with her great theory that Vero hates and at the very end Vero gets to make some predictions about the Book.
Let us know if you watched along with us, if you knew beforehand and if you already have read the book.
-
Episode 129: TAOT Coraline - The Movie #2
November 29th, 2023 | 1 hr 14 mins
Spoiler: we did not manage to finish it this round. So enjoy the juicy middle part of our Coraline coverage, where we talked about penis shaped flowers, ponder if the other Mother truly loves Coraline, Lina keeps harping on about her theory, we debate if the other puppets eat, argue about the reasoning of Shakespeare, make up a few solid theories together and find more layers to this than you probably wanted.
So, hopefully you will have fun!
-
Episode 128: TAOT Coraline - The Movie #1
November 15th, 2023 | 1 hr 22 mins
Before we get started on the next series, we really wanted to talk about Coraline. Not only because it is an amazing movie, but also because Vero had never seen this one!
So strap in for Part One where we manage to cover half an hour of this movie...
We have THEORIES, we have OPINIONS and because we are us, we also have TANGENTS. (If you want even more tangents, you need to listen to the bonus stuff).
Let us know what your first time experience watching this movie was! -
Episode 127: TAOT Stardust - The Book #3
November 1st, 2023 | 1 hr 29 mins
Welcome to the final episodes of Stardust the Book! We had a lot to say, not just about those final chapters, but also about how book and movie compare to each other. Please let us know if you prefer one over the other and if yes, why!
-
Episode 126: TAOT Stardust - The Book #2
October 18th, 2023 | 1 hr 20 mins
Time for the second part of Stardust The Book, the middle part, the juicy part! We obviously did not finish the book, there will be one more episode!
We make it all the way from Chapter 4 and finish Chapter 7 but because Lina was melting in her soundbooth, we stopped one more time.
Join us for the usual amount of debates, chaos, tangents and hilarity! -
Episode 125: TAOT Stardust - The Book #1
October 4th, 2023 | 1 hr 5 secs
After covering Stardust The Movie, we kinda had to do the book - especially since Vero had never read it! We expected this to be long-ish but it still turned out much longer than we thought - so strap in for a ride ;)
In this first one we cover Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 - simply because it was a perfect spot to take a break.
We hope you enjoy our second book coverage as much as we enjoyed reading and debating every single detail! -
Episode 124: TAOT Good Omens Summoning 2
September 20th, 2023 | 3 hrs 1 min
The timeth hath commeth againeth - and while these episodes tend to be long, this one got reeeeeeal long. Double the length of the previous one! And we weren't even drinking this time around...
There is talk about the best and worst character, our favourite relationship, the copious amounts of bonus material on Amazon, debating what effect spoilers had on us, analysis of Opening and Outros, comparing season 1 and 2 and of course wild predictions for season 3!
We hope you enjoy these THREE HOURS listening to us slightly losing our minds (the actual recording took over 5 hours because we are us and also there is bonus material hinthint )
