    Episode 145: TAOT The Sandom S1E11 - Part Two

    Episode 145: TAOT The Sandom S1E11 - Part Two

    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.


    But it is not the end for our season, next up is the Summoning episode and so do send us your feedback either using the email sandman@taot-podcast.com or either of our social media accounts:

    Episode 144: TAOT The Sandom S1E11 - Part One

    Episode 144: TAOT The Sandom S1E11 - Part One

    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

    Episode 143: TAOT The Sandman S1E10

    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.


    Most importantly, we add many new questions to our ever-growing list. If you, too, would like to add things, thoughts or essays to our podcast, now is your opportunity! We will be recording a Summoning episode, in which we'll talk about the season as a whole, bringing your feedback on board. Please send everything to sandman@taot-podcast.com. We are extending your deadline to 10th July!

    Episode 142: TAOT The Sandman S1E09

    Episode 142: TAOT The Sandman S1E09

    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.


    The finale is next and thus the Summoning episode is happening soon, so if you have want to share your thoughts with us (or weigh in which one of us it obviously wrong about something), please send us an email to sandman@taot-podcast.com - your deadline will probably be around the 16th of June!

    Episode 141: TAOT The Sandman S1E08

    Episode 141: TAOT The Sandman S1E08

    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.


    Of course we throw in some burning questions and wild theories, because what are we, if not consistent. Speaking of consistency, expect some disagreements, as we continue to read character motivations in very oposite ways!


    Are you siding with one of us? Please let us know! Send us an email to sandman@taot-podcast.com

Great Lucifer episode by episode deep dive podcast!

This has been a great companion to a recent Lucifer rewatch! I’m noticing lots of new details that I hadn’t before. Plus they go in depth on the music on the show, which was one of the things that hooked me into this show. I think the end of season wrap up episodes are my favorite. If you’re a Lucifan, then this a must listen podcast!

Devil of a podcast (in a good way)

I’m a HUGE Luci-fan and needed a fix in between season 5a and this long stretched out agonizing wait for season 5b. This was just what I needed. To be honest the first few episodes took some perseverance to get through but now I cannot stop listening to these two ladies! I wish I could give them a 10 star rating because of how much attention to detail they go into and their devilish deep dives are so satisfying. Thank you for giving us the Luci-pod that we never knew we needed! The devil is definitely in the details.

Awesome Podcast

I’m not usually that into podcasts, but I love Lucifer and figured I would give this podcast a try. I love it! It’s very satisfying to listen to people discuss some of my favorite and least favorite things about the show—sometimes even introducing new perspectives I’ve never considered before. I also love how they both approach the series with such different angles of thinking while maintaining a sense of humor and an overall positive view of the show. This has been a lot of fun, and I’m looking to upcoming episodes. 10 out of 10, would recommend to anyone who’s a fan of Lucifer.
