Tech Weekly: Digital candidates, Heather Brooke and Alan Wake

In the podcast this week Aleks Krotoski and Charles Arthur speak with two parliamentary hopefuls standing on technology platforms: Denny de la Haye, from getavote.org, and Andrew Robinson, from the Pirate Party UK. The team tackle issues of democratic reform and copyright as the political machine accelerates towards the May finishing line.

In the wake of this discussion, Aleks speaks with Freedom of Information Act campaigner and investigative journalist Heather Brooke about the process she used to uncover the MPs expenses scandal in 2009.

Finally, Keith Stuart meets with Oskari Hakkinen from Remedy Games, and quizzes him about Alan Wake, the Xbox 360 title that's set to reinvent video game narrative.
