About the show
The Apple of Truth is a bi-weekly podcast that covers every episode of Dirk Gently, where we try to figure out the web of sexy coinci-dink and learn how everything and nothing is connected.
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 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 ) -
Episode 123: TAOT Good Omens S2 E6
September 6th, 2023 | 2 hrs 15 mins
This is it. This is the finale. It's a long one. And it's an emotional one. There is joy, there is anger, there is laughter and there are tears.
We also somehow managed to have technical issues in the first 12 minutes, we apologize for that, Vero's audio gets a lot better after that. -
Episode 122: TAOT Good Omens S2 E5
August 30th, 2023 | 1 hr 58 mins
This weeks megasode is here, and this time it's not in the episode of the show, it's the episode of the podcast! As we're gearing up for the finale, our predictions and guesses are getting wilder, and possibly more accurate.
-
Episode 121: TAOT Good Omens S2 E4
August 23rd, 2023 | 1 hr 41 mins
We really were not kidding when we said it will only get longer. Get ready for a lot of honest opinions, Aziraphale specific, because we were not the happiest beans. HOWEVER! We also had a lot of fun, came up with some more theories and had some good times with Amazon subtitles!
-
Episode 120: TAOT Good Omens S2 E3
August 16th, 2023 | 1 hr 29 mins
As the story enravels, Vero looses her mind multiple times, over David Tennant's accents, actor choices and more. Lina on the other hand gets grumpy and frustrated with Aziraphale's behaviour.
We both sing praises to side characters and come up with brilliant alternative episode names and great cosplays. -
Episode 119: TAOT Good Omens S2 E2
August 9th, 2023 | 1 hr 32 mins
CHAPTER TWOOOOO! If you thought the last one was chunky, strap in, because we have a feeling these are not gonna get any shorter.
-
Episode 118: TAOT Good Omens S2 E1
August 2nd, 2023 | 1 hr 26 mins
IT IS OUT! For the first time in history of TAOT we truly don't know what's to come, so please, enjoy our wild theories, because episode 1 is giving us all the questions and no answers!
Vero shares some wild theories, while Lina shares her frustration. But everything comes together in the end and the HYPE is real!!! -
Episode 117: TAOT Stardust The Movie #3
July 19th, 2023 | 1 hr 21 mins
The third and final part of our coverage for Stardust the Movie! You get more debates, epic finales (Lina insists there are several) and some very wild predictions for the book by Vero.
If you enjoyed this longer coverage of an actual movie, please do let us know! -
Episode 116: TAOT Stardust The Movie #2
July 5th, 2023 | 1 hr 17 mins
Here we are with the second of our three episodes covering the movie Stardust. This part has some lengthy debates, you're also going to learn some random bits and Lina is going to draw some parallels to other things
This time around we make it so far as to meet Captain Shakespear's nephew, who has really nice hair and of course we cover the whole training montage. -
Episode 115: TAOT Stardust The Movie #1
June 21st, 2023 | 1 hr 23 mins
Since we somehow turned into a Neil Gaiman Podcast, we came up with the amazing idea to cover one of his books that were turned into a movie. Nonsurprising to anyone but us, we managed to talk many, many hours about this. And so you get three episodes in which we are covering Stardust - The Movie.
In Part One we have all the curious facts and funs about this movie and we make it as far as the first meeting between Tristan and Yvaine!
So strap in for a wild ride, because we did not take out anything, that was even slightly related to the movie and our conversation about it. -
Episode 114: TAOT Good Omens Book #3
June 7th, 2023 | 55 mins 41 secs
The final episode, that covers the book is here! We discuss the rest of Saturday and the full Sunday, Vero gets proven right, Lina gets also proven correct, but overall, we get through the rest of the book without casualties!
-
Episode 113: TAOT Good Omens Book #2
May 24th, 2023 | 1 hr 13 mins
IT'S THURSDAY!!! Just kidding, it's obviously the release day, or whatever day you happen to read this! However we are back with Thursday and Friday, and since you've been good, a little bit of Saturday as well!

The time has come for the very first Summoning episode of Good Omens. And if you never listened to one of those before - beware...
We had a lot to say and even more to drink, so this is a very chaotic episode - even more than usual.Strap in for a detailed conversation on our most/least favourite characters, character development, British words, THE book, predictions for season 2 and The Future of TAOT.
