David Price is in the host's chair this week, as the team talk about the latest hot tech topics. Tamlin Magee has got the drinks in - futuristic meal-replacement drinks called Soylent, which he forces everyone to try and which are apparently not people.
Then Dominic Preston talks us through the positive and extremely negative sides of Amazon's Black Friday activities, before Sean Bradley attempts to explain why Bitcoin is tanking and what the future holds for crypto currencies. Cheers!
We were all surprised this week with the weirdly excellent trailer for Detective Pikachu with Ryan Reynolds voicing the yellow pocket scamp. Dom Preston drops in to tell us how Nintendo is getting into film and we laugh about the Bob Hoskins Mario film. We also talk about the moving new Tetris game (yes, it's made people cry).
Scott Carey then lays out the latest Facebook expose and asks if Zuck and Sheryl Sandberg are ruling the company properly - should it be actively siding politically and morally against misuses of the platform? Or is it too big for them to even control?
This week we are talking about Apple's New York event, where Digital Arts editor Neil Bennett was in attendance for the launch of a fresh new iPad, Mac Mini and a new Macbook Air. We discuss if the Apple laptop range is a mess and who the new iPad is really for.
Later on we have games editor at Tech Advisor Lewis Painter on to talk about the biggest game of the year: Red Dead Redemption 2 and if it lives up to the hype, and if it's worth the 'crunch' put in by overworked Rockstar developers.
It's episode 105, and David Price takes on hosting duties as the team dissect the best and absolute worst of the week's tech developments.
Scott Carey talks us through the troubling and wide-ranging allegations of sexual misconduct at Google, and discusses how this relates to the tech industry's culture of protected privilege, and to the #metoo movement.
Then Henry Burrell, fresh from a briefing at Apple HQ, reports his distinctly positive first impressions of the iPhone XR, which he would gladly recommend to tech newbie grandmas, and also to Scott.
This week our host Scott Carey catches up on the Google+ breach news and the final demise of the doomed social media network before being joined by consumer technology editor at Tech Advisor, Henry Burrell, to talk about Google's latest batch of smartphones: the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL.
Then Techworld reporter Tamlin Magee joins to talk about the technology-related films screening during the London Film Festival this month and his hopes for more utopian tech-flecked stories in the future.
It's a pop culture episode this week as we do a deep dive into dystopian fiction. Scott Carey is your host as he chats to Dominic Preston and Tamlin Magee about the best novels, films, TV shows and video games set in dystopian universes.
We talk about how the world is closer to fiction than ever before, and how this impacts the way we think about fictional dystopias, and end on a positive note to discuss our favourite utopian fiction too.
A quick-fire reaction Apple special, recorded the morning after new iPhones and an Apple Watch were announced at an event in California.
Henry Burrell joins David Price, Ashleigh Macro and Scott Carey to discuss which products we'll be buying, avoiding and coveting over the Christmas period.
Is the new iPhone named terribly? Is it an upgrade at all? What wasn't announced? And does Scott give the new Apple Watch any praise at all? It's all here.
Episode 101 is a second special in a row as we take tech to trial and consign our least favourite digital surplus to Room 101.
The Orwellian nightmare is compered by Henry Burrell as he, David Price, Tamlin Magee and Scott Carey each pick two things to banish forever. Cue a a bumper edition where we throw people, buzzwords, fads and entire companies down the trash chute.
May contain arguments.
Here it is folks, the insane 100th episode we have been planned for weeks (ahem). What better way to spend just over 50 minutes than with 100 tech topics covering over two years, one taken from each of the last 99 episodes of the pod plus the bonus round at the end.
Henry Burrell leads Tamlin Magee, Charlotte Jee, Scott Carey, Karen Khan and Christina Mercer down the tech rabbit hole in a game show-style quick fire test of our tech brains. In this game, everyone is a winner. Naw.
Thanks a lot for listening - here's to the next 100.
This week our host Scott Carey is joined by Techworld editor Charlotte Jee to discuss the revelation that Google is still tracking users, even if you have that feature disabled, and the wider topic of privacy.
Then games editor at Tech Advisor, Lewis Painter, joins to talk about one of the most hotly anticipated games of the year: Red Dead Redemption 2.
Lastly Macworld UK editor Karen Khan talks about the enduring legacy of the iMac PC 20 years on and how it set Apple on a historic trajectory.
This week on the UK Tech Weekly Podcast our host Scott Carey talks to Macworld editor David Price about the ever-controversial Alex Jones and why the big tech companies are finally stepping up their efforts to ban him from their platforms. Editors note: we recorded this on Thursday before Twitter finally started to take some measures against Jones, without outright banning him.
Next our resident phone nerd and consumer tech editor at Tech Advisor Henry Burrell talks about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Note 9, the latest iPhone X rumours and how Apple and Google are trying to make you use your phone less.
Lastly Techworld editor Charlotte Jee takes us on a trip down memory lane to talk about the utopian vision of the Millennium Experience, how it reflected the values of a New Labour government and its legacy.

Join host Henry Burrell in hot as hell London town to bring you 40 minutes of air conditioned tech chat.
Tamlin Magee talks us through the murky ways IBM helped the Third Reich in the Thirties and Forties with data collection and asks what responsibility tech companies have today to ensure their work does not contribute to evil.
Charlotte Jee then analyses Facebook's stock price slump, asking why it happened and does it really affect the company? The team muses on Facebook as a whole and the fascinating if polarising Zuckerberg.
Finally Macworld's David Price chats about the new MacBook Pros and how Apple has already fixed the major flaw in the high-end model - but why did they ship this way? Is Apple less concerned with quality control these days?
Join host Scott Carey as the team dissects Tory meltdown and what it means for tech and the ministers we haven't heard of. What can they actually do to help the country? Charlotte Jee explains.
Then Henry Burrell chats on the new Microsoft Surface Go, an 'affordable' Surface tablet that actually still breaks the bank. Who is it for, and is Microsoft really chasing the iPad market?
David Price rounds up the pod with Musk Corner as everyone's favourite Twitter megalomaniac flies off to Thailand to help with a cave rescue - but should he stay out of it?
This week it’s David Price in the hosting seat to dig into two meaty tech topics: how does Netflix buy and develop its massive content library, and why is Fortnite such a sensation?
Helping him dig into Netflix is Computerworld UK editor Scott Carey, with our new entertainment and lifestyle editor at Tech Advisor Dominic Preston joining in.
Then staff writer at Tech Advisor Sean Bradley is on hand to talk about how Fortnite has become such a sensation, and if it is built to last.
With Germany out of the World Cup what better way to celebrate than with a triptych of tech news'n'views? Henry Burrell hears from Scott Carey on Uber's London license while Sean Bradley explains why Facebook banned, and then allowed, cryptocurrency ads.
Henry then shows off the new BlackBerry and a collection of other phones that Scott finds insulting and ridiculous.
World Cup fever is upon us, and this time round is tech-heavy. The VAR (video assistant referee) makes its (their? know know) debut at a major international football tournament. Is it for the good of the sport?
We’re already used to Hawkeye and goal-line technology, so what makes it different in football? Henry Burrell resides as David Price, Christina Mercer and Sean Bradley set the record straight. NB: David loves cricket a lot.
And of course, the most tech sport of all, Formula One. Is there a balance the sport misses when it comes to safety and competition? We discuss some of the finer points in a lively debate.
We're back this week to bring you all the hot news from E3 and some cooler takes on everything Apple announced at its WWDC developer conference a few weeks back.
To help us do that Macworld UK editor Karen Khan runs through all the iOS and macOS Mojave updates Apple users can look forward to later this year.
Then Tech Advisor staff writer Sean Bradley is on hand for a whistlestop tour of all of the big gaming announcements from E3 in LA so far, including Gears of War, Death Stranding and The Last Of Us 2.
See you next week!
Oh boy what a meaty session we have for you as Christina Mercer, Somrata Sarkar, David Price and Henry Burrell tackle three whopics (whopping topics) head on.
Somrata takes us into the sometimes scary thoughts of our own digital afterlives. Should we be worried that we'll end up as misrepresentative chat bots one day? Who will have the authority to police the companies that harvest our data?
Then Christina explains the knife edge America is on when it comes to net neutrality. Despite recent hope, there's still a chance the web across the pond will be ruthlessly metered and segmented.
Finally David asks us if we've checked our unused email accounts recently, as there might be a lot of desperate noodle companies in there begging you to stay on their mailing lists.
Back once again like the Renegade Master, the UK Tech Weekly Podcast is coming to you from its new, earlier-in-the-week time slot.

We wrap things up with an Elon Musk news roundup, from his latest bae to building bricks.
Scott Carey leads veteran Henry Burrell and first time podder Hannah Williams down the rabbit hole of Google I/O. We discuss which was the most frightening announcement and which was the best - could that actually be the same thing?
We then chat Android P, the beta for Google next OS - cool changes, yes, but how many people will actually ever get it?
Scott and Hannah also weigh in on why Google gets the headlines despite Facebook, Microsoft and Amazon announcements this week.
A double Google header as Henry Burrell leads Scott Carey and Sean Bradley down the tech rabbit hole. Alphabet's most famous outlet has redesigned Gmail for desktop, but what does that mean for businesses and consumers. Will anyone notice?
Then what is Chat? Not Google Chat or Android Chat, mind - just Chat. Will the Google-led initiative really transform text messaging on Android or is it doomed to forever to be a fragmented mess?
Sean then talks us through the latest AMD processors to challenge Intel. Intel hasn't had the best of year's after Apple announced it is going solo. Is there a change afoot?
Sheriff Scott Carey rounds up his two deputies in David Price and Henry Burrell for a quick-fire two topic pod. Apple launched a new cheaper iPad this week based around its education play - but can schools afford them and are Chromebooks a better option?
Then we discuss the new Huawei P20 and P20 Pro. Notches, three cameras but competitive pricing make the new Android flagship an interesting option.
We let one huge, scary story dominate proceedings before allowing two lighter-weight topics return the pod to its family friendly roots.
The Cambridge Analytica and Facebook scandal is decoded and discussed, with one podder especially susceptible to influence thanks to their insane third party app access numbers.
The gang then tackles Sea of Thieves, a return to form for Rare on Xbox, before Dom (with no spoilers) says just how bad Ready Player One is.
The gang returns with an eclectic mix of tech chat. Can Nectome really download your thoughts - while killing you - to preserve your memories forever in the cloud? We didn't make this up.
Then we discuss the brand new Samsung Galaxy S9, phone cameras and crap AR before discussing how the UK should go about contracting a company to age check porn site users.
Scott Carey assembles half the Tech Advisor squad to chat about the HomePod's great audio and then all the things that make it a tabloid headline. Jim Martin lets us know if Apple ruined his oak and/or pine.
Lewis Painter chats us through Kingdom Come: Deliverance and all the wacky things you can do in its slow paced but huge world. Dom Preston then lets us know - without spoilers - just how good Black Panther is, Marvel's latest marvel (hopefully).
Back with a bang as Computerworld editor Scott Carey leads the squad into the cauldron of convo. Christina Mercer explains why her beau Elon Musk took a car into space, Sean Bradley on that bursting Bitcoin bubble, and David Price to tell us all how Apple can charge even more for its stuff and keep on making record profit.

Once more for 2017 as Henry Burrell, Karen Khan and Scott Carey bid farewell to this wonderful year (ahem) with musings on Apple's sexy new iMac Pro. Who is it for, how much is it and does this mean there is no Mac Pro in 2018?
We then tackle Netflix's Twitter shaming of its users and why Spotify got away with it earlier in the year. How comfortable are we all when we realise how much data companies really have on us?
In light of this, Apple bought Shazam - most likely for the data sets as much as the tech and the talent. What form will it take in Apple as another UK tech company is acquired?
We finally get the IoT acronym the pod has been waiting for as we discuss Bitcoin and 17th century Dutch finance. Charlotte Jee informs Henry Burrell, David Price and Scott Carey.
Scott then leads us down the winding road of the so-called platform wars, in a week when Google blocked the Amazon Echo Show from streaming YouTube. Is this a bump in the road or will services be cut from rival hardware?
And finally, led by David, the pod discusses its favourite tech of the year and what you might consider buying for friends and family for Christmas.
It's a bumper pod! David Price leads Ashleigh Macro and Henry Burrell down the topical rabbit hole to discuss why Black Friday largely sucks, but is an interesting venture for publishers as well as consumers. Who else bought a Switch?

Finally we all chip in to ask why Blade Runner 2049 is quite so overtly sexist in its portrayal of women. There be spoilers.

He tells Henry Burrell what's next for the company.Then roles are reversed as Henry updates Scott on the Galaxy Note 8, LG V30 and September 12's very own iPhone 8 - will it be called that? Will anyone spend £1,000 on it?
