Google bestrides the Internet world like a colossus, but back in January of 2000, it was just an obscure startup. That's when writer John Ince interviewed founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin in preparation for a story in Upside magazine. Google was hungry for publicity then, and carved out a generous slice of time for the writer.

Ince recorded conversations with Page and Brin on a cheap, lo-fi tape recorder -- he couldn't know that almost seven years later, he'd release the tapes over the Internet. Ince rediscovered the tapes recently, and starting today, he's playing them on his PodVentureZone podcast series. You can also hear them on PodTech Network.
