Concept
Diggnation episodes are usually filmed every Thursday, posted for Revision3 members on Saturday and released to the general public the next Tuesday (Though an audio version is available to all on Saturday.) The videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so it is not illegal for them to be re-distributed early to non-subscribers. The video and audio versions of the podcast can be obtained at the iTunes music store, sites like DiggDown, Google Video, and often from torrents, before being released to the general public. CacheFly, the primary distributor, states that as of March 2007, 25 terabytes per week are being consumed by downloads of the show[1]. #REDIRECT Revision3 Corporation This sandbox uses a very effective approach to familiarize users and editors with Wiki functions. ...

Name Origin Originally, David Prager, a friend and colleague of Kevin Rose, wished to call the website Diggnation. However, Kevin decided on the simpler Digg instead. This is spelled with two g's because {dig.com} is registered to the Walt Disney Internet Group. Kevin subsequently chose Diggnation as the podcast's name, replacing the simple name used in the first episode—The Digg Podcast. David Prager is one of the key members of the Revision3 Corporation. ...

Format The show begins immediately with short advertisements for the podcast's current sponsors, and is usually followed by a fake advertisement. After the title video, the hosts introduce themselves, make any relevant announcements, and discuss the beers they will drink during the episode. The beer-tasting aspect of Diggnation is one of the show's trademarks. The majority of the episode is dedicated to the discussion of news items as well as personal commentary, anecdotes, and unrelated banter. The show's humor is generally somewhat vulgar, and has prompted complaints from viewers. At the end of the show, Rose and Albrecht mention their sponsors once again in a longer advertisement spot, read e-mail from fans, then conclude the show with a seemingly ad libbed phrase or saying. Diggnation is a weekly podcast hosted by Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht. ...
Dolby Laboratories Collaboration Episode #14 of Diggnation marked a new milestone for podcasting. The Diggnation team collaborated with Dolby Laboratories to test true surround sound. The show was the first podcast ever to be (partly) recorded with this technology,[citation needed] which creates the illusion of surround sound by actually recreating what would happen to the waveforms from different directions (delay, tone, and volume differences between the ears) and playing it through headphones. Thus totally accurate recreations of soundspace can be created. The technology mentioned here was only used in Episode 14, though Rose and Albrecht have expressed interest in using it again. Dolby Laboratories, Inc. ...
Sponsorships Instead of displaying advertisement spots in the show, the two hosts read a short segment given to them by the sponsors for each episode. They often give their own praise for a sponsor, similar to a personal recommendation.
