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 146: TAOT The Sandman Summoning 1
July 24th, 2024 | 2 hrs 19 mins
At the end of the season, we go a bit chaotic (okay, more chaotic than usual) and wrap up everything in our very own way. Welcome to the first Summoning episode for The Sandman. Enjoy the madness :D

Episode 145: TAOT The Sandman S1E11 - Part Two
July 10th, 2024 | 1 hr 9 mins
It is time to finish the extra episode for this season, with "Calliope" and oh myyy we enjoyed this.
Join us with a bit of all the emotions, as we agree on many things, except the thirst moment obviously, or certain ways to read a scene, but all in all this was a joy to record.
What an amazing end to this season. -
Episode 144: TAOT The Sandman S1E11 - Part One
June 26th, 2024 | 58 mins 17 secs
Be aware: This is only the first part of the bonus episode of season 1, Calliope will be released in two weeks. This will probably also feel quite a bit different than the previous 10 episodes.
We started this episode with very different thoughts and feelings but while talking about it, we came to see more and more parallels and metaphors in this and if we had taken them out, the actual coverage would feel incredibly disjointed.
So join us for this hour and see how we manage to bring voice blindness, cat and dog people, musicals and audioplays, communism and StarTrek into this episode. -
Episode 143: TAOT The Sandman S1E10
June 12th, 2024 | 1 hr 40 mins
IT'S FINALE TIME! Strap in, it's a long one! In this episode, we mostly actually agree on things, which was a welcomed surprised, but it also comes to show how well the season ended up working. We debate Dream's development in length, Lina cries over the Corinthian and Vero blows Lina's mind on several occasions.
-
Episode 142: TAOT The Sandman S1E09
May 29th, 2024 | 1 hr 32 mins
Once again we did not know how to talk less. Not only because we were seeing very different motivations in various characters, but also because there simply is a lot to talk about in this episode.
So join us for some more Corinthian thirst, some Stephen Fry appreciation and some very odd agreements and disagreements between the two of us. -
Episode 141: TAOT The Sandman S1E08
May 15th, 2024 | 1 hr 38 mins
In this episode, we learn much new information about Rose, Vero finally stops suspecting Lyta of treason, and Lina brings some extra covert insight, because she had accidentally watched the wrong episode in preparation.
-
Episode 140: TAOT The Sandman S1E07
May 1st, 2024 | 1 hr 38 mins
This is a long one, so get some tea (or something stronger) and settle in. There is A LOT of thirsting in this episode, curtesy of more Corinthian screentime, there are quite a few disagreements about various character motivations, there are some funny misunderstandings, there is the usual amount of debating incredibly important sidenotes and after a long time we finally have some language lessons again!
-
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.
