The Apple of Truth: The Sandman Podcast

TAOT Special: TAOT does LUX2

March 15th, 2023  |  1 hr 2 mins

We interrupt our scheduled program to bring you SO MANY ANSWERS.
Listeners of our Lucifer coverage will remember that we created a very lengthy, thorough Questionaire and that we are aiming to answer every single question on there.
Well, we haven't managed to answer all of them - yet. But we got many answers!

Episode 109: TAOT Good Omens S1E5

March 1st, 2023  |  1 hr 28 mins

IT'S FINALLY HAPPENED, historic moment, where we recorded our first episode whilst in the same room together! That being said, it came with some challenges, so if you hear something you normally wouldn't have, we apologise, and this is why.

Episode 108: TAOT Good Omens S1E4

February 15th, 2023  |  1 hr 26 mins

We kick off the second half of the season with a bang! Our ineffable husbands are dealing with their break up, while being found out by their respective sides, Adam is coming to his power, while The Them try to keep him grounded and Newt meets Anathema, while their faith has already been sealed.

Episode 107: TAOT Good Omens S1E3

February 1st, 2023  |  1 hr 23 mins

The episode titel was weirdly prophetic - for the first time in a long while we watched a very different episode and though most fighting did not make it into the public part of the episode, it was still a pretty hard time - at times.
Add to that the fact that Lina was struggling with a cold and that Vero's tech failed her once again. But nothing could dampen our love and enjoyment for the first half of this episode.
So join us squealing in adoration for the beginning of the ineffable lovestory.

Episode 106: TAOT Good Omens S1E2

January 18th, 2023  |  1 hr 30 mins

Shadwell turns into Shitwell, madame Tracy is a gem, Adam may be a creep, the ineffable husbands are adorable and Lina and Vero are very appreciative.

No new episode would be complete without some very wholesome facts brought to you by Lina, and some unexpected insight by Vero. Be aware that we do lightly compare some events to the book, but no real spoilers to be had.

Episode 105: TAOT Good Omens S1E1

January 4th, 2023  |  1 hr 19 mins

Or "the word ineffable itself is ineffable". WE ARE BACK! Two months of hiatus, we rested (not really), we planned (a tiny bit) but most importantly, we recorded (some).
There are some changes (a new segment replaced an old one), many things remained the same (we're still us so no surprise there) and it's still much longer than it was supposed to be!
So make yourself some hot cocoa and enjoy the return of The Apple Of Truth and the beginning of the end.

Episode 104: TAOT Between the Pod: Part 2 - SHUT UP ABOUT THAT SHOW (CEG)

October 19th, 2022  |  1 hr 36 mins

As the last episode for a little bit, Vero watched first three episodes of Crazy Ex-Girlfriend. And oh boy, you are certainly in for a ride. Vero wasn't thrilled by the show, which meant Lina wasn't thrilled by Vero.
We debated scenes, characters, possible spoilers, Vero made wild predictions, some of them might be even correct (you'll have to listen yourselves to find out).

Episode 103: TAOT Between the Pod: Part 1 - SHUT UP ABOUT THAT SHOW (Bones)

October 5th, 2022  |  1 hr 14 mins

If you listened to our Lucifer episodes, you are more than aware that we both have shows that we will not shut up about. And before we start our new project (which by now should be out of the bag), we wanted to get at least ONE show (each) into our brains and hearts.
So this week Lina finally watched the first three episodes of Bones. If you want this episode to make sense, so should you ;)

• IMPORTANT: At 1:05:00 Vero gets into spoilers because Lina asked for them, so if you do not want a few superficial spoilers, you need to stop the ep before that (only the outro happens afterwards) So join in for Lina's first watch of a show from 2005 for which Vero has all the nostalgia and Lina had none. (Oh and don't believe anything Lina says, at the point of this release, she has watched beyond season 5 ;) ) PS: Please forgive us for Vero's audio quality in this one, she used the wrong mic and we only realised 2 min before we were done...

Episode 102: TAOT Lucifer Bonus 3 - Fanfiction read by Vero

September 21st, 2022  |  2 hrs 43 mins

"Lucifer cannot accept the fact that Dan is in Hell, not when he now has the power to do something about it. But when he walks into Dan's cell, he sees something he's not expecting. Bringing him back is going to be more complicated than he thought."

Episode 101: TAOT Lucifer Bonus 2 - Fanfiction read by Lina

September 7th, 2022  |  1 hr 26 mins

Now that we are finished with the show, we decided to dive into the fandom a bit more and what better part of the fandom is there, than.... fanfiction?
We found two great fics (well, more than two, but we did settle on two) and decided to try our hand at podfics! This week you get Lina's try with "Ella Enlightened" by Liannabob.
It is an Ella PoV fanfiction - Summary taken from AO3: "An exploration of the Ella & Lucifer friendship, in which Ella uses forensics to figure out that he's maybe not a method actor after all. Set after the season 3 finale and after "Boo Normal"."
The AO3 rating is for General Audiences and there are no additional tags or warnings for this fanfiction.
We hope you enjoy this reading and a huge Thank You to Liannabob for writing this and giving Lina permission to record this.

Episode 100: TAOT Lucifer Bonus 1 - Switcheroo Mayhem

August 24th, 2022  |  1 hr 5 mins

Who is Rodney? What is English? Why is Linda there? Is Linda there? What scene are we in? Who is naked? Want to know answers to these questions? So do we!
Join us on a journey to remember episode 7 from season two, while only having the chance to read notes written by the other person OVER TWO YEARS AGO. It doesn't go well. Or maybe it does, depends what you expect from us!

Episode 99: TAOT Lucifer Summoning E6

August 10th, 2022  |  2 hrs 53 mins

We nearly broke the 3 hour mark on this - because it should come as no little surprise that we have a lot to say about not just the final season of Lucifer, but also about finishing the show for the podcast and what this has meant to us in the past years.
As usual we got mighty drunk during the Summoning, and once again combined two recording sessions, so you get sober Us inbetween proceedingly drunk Us.
For one last time, we covered our usual bases with most/least character development, favourite relationship, top3 for episodes and songs, music stats, general thoughts on the season, the questionaire, going through the stuff we monitor and of course talking at length about the feedback and questions we received and sprung on each other.

Episode 98: TAOT Lucifer S6E10

July 27th, 2022  |  1 hr 43 mins

This is it. The finale. Yes, we will release more Lucifer episodes, but this is the last regular Lucifer episode ever. So of course we couldn't leave you short, and give you the longest one yet!
Get ready for disagreements, sulking, voiceless Vero (she may have done a little bit of screaming at a concert a few nights before recording) and chatty Lina, because if you thought Lina had opinions before, you haven't heard this episode.
But most importantly, get ready for gushing, reminiscing and still debating and discovering issues, that we haven't seen before. Hope you enjoy!

Episode 97: TAOT Lucifer S6E09

July 13th, 2022  |  1 hr 12 mins

While the episode might say "Goodbye", we are nowhere near ready to say goodbye to any of this.
Strap in for emotions during every single goodbye moment, behind the scenes tidbits Vero collected at various conventions, internet drama when this episode first came out and of course detailed discussions on pretty much everything.
Initially this was over 2 hours long, so if you want to know what didn't make the cut, check out the bonus.
By the time this comes out, you should have about a week left to send in your final feedback ever, so go on and send us those emails or DMs!

Episode 96: TAOT Lucifer S6E08

June 29th, 2022  |  1 hr 11 mins

Finally, the episode Ella gets included in all the shenanigans! Lucifer suffers a performence anxiety, but ultimately he gets shot and accepted by Rory. Linda shares her biggest career accomplishment just to burn it in the end Dan gets nudged to the right direction to find his true guilt.

Lina is sceptical about Luci and Rory's relationship growth and Vero admits to shed a tear during the Deckerstar montage. All is well and ready for the last two episodes of the show.

Episode 95: TAOT Lucifer S6E07

June 15th, 2022  |  1 hr 11 mins

Wedding drama, huge reveals, painful pasts, this episode has it all. Plus of course us focusing on the weirdest possible stuff, like the atrociously bad subtitles of Amazon, debating what family means, internet comments, how one step to the side makes other people magically not hear what you say and so much more.
Also our patience with Rory is finally starting to run out, we are ecstatic to see Trixie again and we get the third part of Ella's Whiteboard Freeze Frame Frenzy.
