Welcome back to Diggnation! We’re hanging out at Alex’s place, catching up on Thanksgiving, holiday plans, and some wild stories from the world of tech, entertainment, and nostalgia. Kevin breaks down his epic sous-vide-and-smoked turkey leg recipe, and we share the big announcement—Diggnation Live is coming to SXSW this March! Get ready for an unforgettable reunion. This episode dives into NASA’s delayed return to the moon, Kevin’s ride in a Waymo robotaxi, and the groundbreaking diamond battery tech that could last for 5,700 years.
