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.

Episodes

  • Episode 26: TAOT Lucifer S2E12

    September 9th, 2020  |  1 hr 53 secs

    This time we get sent on a rampage watching Mother trying to destroy Luci's emotions and Vero gets very much upset about the entire premise of our case of the week. We discuss pick up limes (no, this is not a typo, unfortunately - V.) and we talk about where the most convenient place is to check your immortality.
    So in the end, as much of love and excitement we get, there is even more hurt and upset. Which is right up Lina's alley!

  • Episode 25: TAOT Lucifer S2E11

    September 2nd, 2020  |  1 hr 4 mins

    This episode is just... There is tension (both in the show as well as in the podcast), there is awkwardness (also in both), there is a kiss (only in the show) and ALL THE DRAMA (again in both).
    Be warned, Lina was all up in arms during this recording, and Vero only managed to get her turned around in some of the - let's call them debates.

  • TAOT Special: Lucifer Season 5 Part A

    August 30th, 2020  |  40 mins 58 secs

    We step out of our usual chronological coverage and talk about the newest half-season of Lucifer: Season 5 Part A
    Things we liked (loads), things we didn't like (some), things that confused us or made us curious (quite a bit) and some pretty wild predictions are waiting for you in this special episode.

  • Episode 24: TAOT Lucifer S2E10

    August 26th, 2020  |  1 hr 6 secs

    This weeks episode is the one with Perry's trial, so obviously you get to hear about our vast knowledge of American justice system. We get very upset with Mom again, and get very amazed by Maze. We get to make fun of Daniel and to appreciate how well written the Luci / Chloe relationship has been so far. Not to mention the mindblowing reveal at the end.

  • Episode 23: TAOT Lucifer S2E09

    August 19th, 2020  |  1 hr 17 secs

    Welcome to the episode that made it to Lina's TOP 3! We get a lot of jokes in (unfortunately some had to end up in our bonus material), but most importantly, we get a lot of character developement.
    Mom is trying to do everything she can, including Dan, in order to figure out how to get Lucifer on her side, Maze and Ames stalk her around, and in the middle of all of that, Luci unconsciously asks Chloe out. And if you watched the episode, you know how that will turn out.

  • Episode 22: TAOT Lucifer S2E08

    August 12th, 2020  |  1 hr 1 min

    Metaplot and case-of-the-week both get their time in this chemistry filled episode. Lucifer and Ella work together to find Azrael's blade (unbeknownst to Ella) that was set loose on the world by dear Mom (unbeknownst to Lucifer) which troubles Chloe and entertains Dan - esp. in the end ;)

  • Episode 21: TAOT Lucifer S2E07

    August 5th, 2020  |  59 mins 9 secs

    If any episode has put us on complete opposites, it was this one. Luci is channeling his inner Dan, Maze is dealing with the mess he made with Linda and we get a backstory on why Chloe became a cop.
    With some of our main characters missing (Vero was NOT too sad about that) we get a chance to talk about Luci's life decisions, and most importantly about THE IMPROV SCENE.
    So please, enjoy!

  • Episode 20: TAOT Lucifer S2E06

    July 29th, 2020  |  1 hr 2 mins

    Aka Lina's number one favourite episode thus far. Vero was way to emotionaly distraught to do any kind of ranking, so who knows where it places for her.
    Lucifer brings distraction and selfdestruction on the next level, gets punched by Dan, only to reveal his devil face to Linda at the end. Chloe again proves to be the bestest friend and a very good partner. Ella is left out in the case all together and Vero hates on mom a lot.
    Last but not least, MAZE AND TRIXIE GO TRICK OR TREATING. Yes this deserved all caps.
    Enjoy. We did.

  • Episode 19: TAOT Lucifer S2E05

    July 22nd, 2020  |  1 hr 5 mins

    This episode is PACKED with a lot of action. Chloe is in danger and Luci is in protective mode, Amenadiel finally comes out with the loss of his powers and we get an entire new character introduced just to get him killed off by the end of the episode.
    And because there was so much to talk about and we didn't want to keep it all work and no play, the episode itself actually ended up being a tiny bit longer. We think it's worth it. Let us know what you think! (Maybe even send us an email to [email protected] )

  • Episode 18: TAOT Lucifer S2E04

    July 15th, 2020  |  58 mins 36 secs

    Distract yo'self is the motto everyone lives for in this episode. For our characters it means they are avoiding issues that will bite them in their respective butts very soon. For ourselves it means an episode filled with fun, drinking, fighting and other enjoyable things, except for the party pooper Ames.
    In this episode you will also find a detail description of how to avoid or ease your hangoversTM. Enjoy!

  • Episode 17: TAOT Lucifer S2E03

    July 8th, 2020  |  57 mins 32 secs

    In episode 3 Lucifer gets on a self recognition path. The key word is PUNISHMENT. He goes back and forth on the whole 'do i care someone is doing my job on Earth' and ends up punishing the punisher.
    And special recognition goes to Dan for finding his way to be a good human being, which we surprisingly are cheering for (especially Vero).

  • Episode 16: TAOT Lucifer S2E02

    July 1st, 2020  |  1 hr 3 mins

    This is a very much 'Let's get to know Mom' episode. We trace back her steps, accuse her from lying, find out she's not, or maybe she is... At the end we get so confused we spinned some really fun theories about the whole situation.
    Either way, Mom is the new Charlotte, Ames is a plucked chicken, Chloe is a good mom, Maze is NOT a good babysitter and Linda is the queen.
    Here are all the links, you will need to catch up on the youtube only music:

  • Episode 15: TAOT Lucifer S2E01

    June 24th, 2020  |  1 hr 47 secs

    Season Two opener is here! We started a new corner called 'Lucifer's obsession of the week'! We know, what a shocker..
    We have a Luci and Ames team up, and Maze and Linda team up, detective Dan sneaked his way back on the job and Ella has sneaked her way into Vero's heart.
    And in the end, we have some deep discussion about music!

  • Episode 14: TAOT Summoning Episode 1

    June 17th, 2020  |  1 hr 31 mins

    Welcome to the FIRST EVER Summoning Episode! This one is special! We are chatting away about everything and anything related to season 1 of Lucifer. And because we thought you deserve a bit of extra information - no such a thing as tmi - we decided to give you our Origin Story as well!
    A rough timeline for the ep:
    First hour, Lucifer talk,
    after that, short talk about Patreon, LONG talk about ourselves.
    AND THE LAST 12 MINUTES ARE SPOILERS! So if you do watch along and don't want to hear us trying to remember what happens in season 2, skip that, please. Don't worry, we REALLY hammer it down in the episode as well, so it is easily avoidable.
    Below you can find the screenshot of the fly in Lucifer's hair from episode 4. Enjoy!

  • Episode 13: TAOT Lucifer S1E13

    June 10th, 2020  |  1 hr 4 mins

    Last chapter of season 1 is here. It's a little bit longer than usual, what can we say, we had a lot on our minds.. Neverthless, we got through it and Lina even appretiated a pun that Vero made (you wouldn't believe how happy that made her)!
    Luci gets to grow as a person and Chloe takes down Malcolm, Maze ends up respecting Chloe and who would've thought, Lucifer and Amenadiel are working together!

  • Episode 12: TAOT Lucifer S1E12

    June 3rd, 2020  |  58 mins 16 secs

    OOOOH this is the one where they hint at Luci hating goats and won't tell us the goat story AGAIN! Right there with ya! But it's also the one where Luci explores the nature of his mortality, is pushed to the edge by Malcolm's horrible actions and is mistreated even by Chloe.
    Join us for the penultimate ride that this episode is, leaving us wanting more!
