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.

We made a Patreon over at https://www.patreon.com/taotpodcast to help with the monthly costs of hosting and making a podcast. We hope that you might consider joining us in this small but amazing community.

    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.

  • Episode 94: TAOT Lucifer S6E06

    June 1st, 2022  |  1 hr 24 mins

    This episode is touching on a lot of quite heavy topics, so please, read through the trigger warnings, and only listen if you feel comfortable to do so!

    TW: rasism, police brutality, climate change, sexism

    We went looooong. We tried to cut the episode to our regular length, but there was just so much to say, while also trying to give you some levity breaks, as did the episode itself.

  • Episode 93: TAOT Lucifer S6E05

    May 18th, 2022  |  1 hr 8 mins

    This one made us have way too many emotions, even when recording. Also it made us have very weird theories. Like: Can ghosts masturbate? Did Rory break the world? Does timetravel equate with fate? Is Chloe a praying mantis?
    You obviously get a freeze frame frenzy for the whiteboard scene, some chaos with both of us and some praise and critique of all our favourite characters.

  • Episode 92: TAOT Lucifer S6E04

    May 4th, 2022  |  1 hr 9 mins

    In this episode we share our teenage tv crushes that weren't teenage. Vero gets obsessed with Amenadiel's studying habits and Lina discovers the secret behind ghosts in Luciverse.
    We watch Lucifer answer the question of 'Who's your Daddy' over and over, until it's him, and THEN, we discover who's your Mommy as well.

  • Episode 91: TAOT Lucifer S6E03

    April 20th, 2022  |  1 hr 5 mins

    This week we have a throwback episode without having a throwback episode. Remembering the first case, we go visit Jimmy Barnes in his hell loop, parts of which Lina absolutely loaths. Philosophycal debates are had make-up is discussed, life or death questions are asked.

  • Episode 90: TAOT Lucifer S6E02

    April 6th, 2022  |  1 hr 2 mins

    Because of reasons we recorded this one in the morning and somehow it ended up quite a bit shorter than usual (since we entered the Netflix era).
    Join in as we debate Chloe's attachment to Amenadiel's rod, laugh at every impossible innuendo, start to ship Ella and Carol, miss Eve, enjoy Dan being a smart bean and of course keep wondering about the new always angry emo Angel.

  • Episode 89: TAOT Lucifer S6E01

    March 23rd, 2022  |  1 hr 14 mins

    And we are off with season 6! What an opener... Chloe is finding a way to be a detective, without being The Detective, Luci is struggling with his worthiness for a change, Linda pokes at Maeve until they get engaged and Ella is enjoying her new co-worker. In the end we figure out our own way to get Dan out of Hell, because Lucifer seems to be stuck.

  • Episode 88: TAOT Lucifer Summoning E5

    March 9th, 2022  |  2 hrs 5 mins

    We did it, we broke the two hour mark. Woohooo.
    We cover our usual bases with most/least character development, favourite relationship, top3 for episodes and songs, music stats, general thoughts on the season, our questions for season 6, going through the stuff we monitor and of course talking at length about the feedback and questions we received.
    THERE ARE SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6 from timestamp 1:53:34 all the way to the end, so please make sure you turn off the episode if you do not want to get spoiled!
    Enjoy our enjoyment, there is no other way of putting that!

  • Episode 87: TAOT Lucifer S5E16

    February 23rd, 2022  |  1 hr 15 mins

    This is it. The finale. We had so many emotions, we were confused, we were delighted and we could not stop talking.
    Strap in for some random references and totally obvious parallels to other shows - Supernatural, Buffy, She-Ra, the Good Place and even Hannibal make an apperance this time around. Lina as per usual still found some things to complain about, but all in all we were both incredibly happy with this finale and cannot wait to get into season 6 with you all.

  • Episode 86: TAOT Lucifer S5E15

    February 9th, 2022  |  1 hr 2 mins

    The sad episode. The painful episode. The episode of hurt. All of these apply here, so even though there are many things we really liked, we were in a world of pain for most of this recording. Join us in counting and reviewing the speeches and complaining about the pain.

  • Episode 85: TAOT Lucifer S5E14

    January 26th, 2022  |  1 hr 15 mins

    We had.. opinions. Get ready for a rollercoaster of emotions, arguments and debates. We praise Chloe and then disagree on her actions (also Vero fixes a huge issue for Lina with a revelation), we feel for Ella and then disagree on "the Darkness", we rejoice at Mom's return and then get into a debate about leaving your kids behind.

  • Episode 84: TAOT Lucifer S4E13

    January 12th, 2022  |  1 hr 25 mins

    This episode may not be Lina's favourite, but that doesn't mean we don't have many words to say about it. We share opinions on Linda's situation, on why should Lucifer approach her differently, and much more. But it's not all bad in our TAOT land. We get to share our love for Maze and her development and Dan and Ames being best bros again is definitely bringing a smile to our faces.

  • Episode 83: TAOT Lucifer S5E12

    December 29th, 2021  |  1 hr 9 mins

    Welcome to Lina's favourite episode of Lucifer (so far).
    Join us for approximately 500 callbacks, count concussions with us, debate the tiniest details of Operation Payback Dan, see the several moments Dan should have realised this was a setup and most importantly share the love we have for Dan and this episode.

  • Episode 82: TAOT Lucifer S5E11

    December 15th, 2021  |  1 hr 9 mins

    Join us in finding new and better reasons to hate Dad! And we found a whole bunch. We talk about parental issues and try to figure out why we feel a little unhappy about this specific episode. There is singing, there is complaining, there is loving, there is hating. THERE IS EVERYTHING!

  • Episode 81: TAOT Lucifer S5E10

    December 1st, 2021  |  1 hr 12 mins

    We have reached the musical episode and we are not sorry to say, we might have done our own fair share of breaking into song.
    Aside from torturing your ears more than usual, we have so much behind the scenes info on this one (did you know there was a song that did not make it into the episode?), we debate strongly various points of this episode (is Wicked Game even part of the Musical or just Lucifer singing?), rage some more against Dad (no surprise there), agree on some points, agree to disagree on quite a few more points, create our own headcanon and all in all have an amazing time with this episode.
