The Year of the Horse, Part 1 | ft. Miroslav Ćuk and Jeremy Poley

In the first part of The Dig's ridiculously long season recap and playoff preview, Miroslav, Jeremy, and Nick spend most of a season-awards-(and-Razzies)-themed segment ranting about the narratives driving this year's MVP debate. Quality content also includes Germany's airport crisis, how some in the Nuggets' own media are getting MVP objectively wrong, and Miro's subjective dislike of all things Turkish basketball. Part 2 will drop on Friday, 4/17/26 for those of you sad enough to need another two hours of The Dig.

The Thin Gold Line | ft. Miroslav Ćuk and Jeremy Poley

Nick got his Twitter account un-hacked, which means he no longer had an excuse to delay a new episode of The Dig. Coming off of the Nuggets' hardest stretch of the season, Miroslav Ćuk, Jeremy Poley, and Nick Hertzog have thoughts about German and Serbian linguistics, microphone brands, and the pronunciation of Jokic's name, as well as probably wrong takes about the defense, the rotation, and how to strategize Peyton Watson.

Jokic Shmokic | ft. Miroslav Ćuk and Jeremy Poley

The Nuggets bench has turned the doldrums of pre-All Star break games into one of the most fun runs in Nuggets history. In this episode, Miro, Jeremy, and Nick discuss the Peyton Watson revelation and what it means for the rotation, as well as Serbian sayings, the anatomy of knees, and some deep Dig lore.

The Fellowship of More Rings | ft. Nick's College Buddies

With the theatrical re-release of Fellowship of the Ring just a few weeks away, Nick is joined by his nerdy college friends to analyze the Nuggets LOTR-style. Topics include Rudy Gobert's problem, which Nugget's injury hurts the most, and an underappreciated transcendence in Jokic's game.

Clash of the Titans | ft. Miroslav Ćuk and Jeremy the Pure

Episode 4 finds Miroslav, Jeremy, and Nick in a bit of a mid-December funk, like the Nuggets' defense. But with Jokmas on the horizon, the trio is able to find some laughs as they discuss Greek mythology, 1950s betting strategies, and Spencer Jones' aesthetics. Come for the OKC slander, stay for AI's scathing review of our hard work. Enjoy, and go Nuggets!

All Roads Lead to Swatson | ft. Miroslav Ćuk and Rayvone Hackshaw III

Rayvone Hackshaw III of Four Corners Media joins co-hosts Nick and MIroslav to debate the NBA schedule, whether European basketball is superior in every way to the NBA, and if Peyton Watson is likely to be traded this season or if Miro's mind has also lost a step. Also included: another haiku, the Serbian National Anthem, and some mild doomerism.

The Offense Strikes Back | ft. Miroslav Ćuk and Will Jones

The Nuggets aren't the only team that's starting to cook. Host Nick Hertzog and reluctant co-host Miroslav Ćuk welcome Will Jones to the podcast to debate whether offense or defense is more important in NBA basketball, how Cam Johnson is hitting our feels, and other uncontroversial topics like communism and atheism. Check out @Will_d_jones and his co-host @erinburr27 on the What's In a Game? podcast and YouTube channel for much more intelligent Nuggets and NBA content.
