The Drill Down is off this week, but until we return next week with our regularly scheduled show, please enjoy this glimpse back to a kinder, gentler place, where the iPhone was new, Facebook was privately held, and US Government surveillance of private citizens was still a rare occurrence. A land we called… 2007.

Here is The Drill Down podcast’s very first episode, released July 28th, 2007, featuring the podcast’s original panelists, Andrew Sorcini, and Social Media experts Muhammad Saleem & Reg ‘Zaibatsu’ Saddler.
