Tech Weekly podcast: CEO changes at Google and Apple

Join Aleks Krotoski, Jemima Kiss and Charles Arthur for analysis and discussion about the biggest tech business headlines to hit the web-waves.

This week, it's all change at the top as Google and Apple change their chief executives. Charles talks the team through the implications for the companies and for the financial sector. Does Larry Page have what it takes to bring Google to the next level? And what will happen to Apple when Steve Jobs decided his medical leave isn't temporary anymore? Will the cult of Steve translate into another Apple cult of personality?

Jemima explains to the team why a digital media content company responsible for overseeing the distribution of pictures of cute cats with silly captions (and other internet fads) managed to scrape together a whopping $30m in investment, and what the dramatic cuts at the BBC mean for the future of public service content online.

Charles explains the success behind the search-and-answer personalised crowdsourcing services such as Quora and Yahoo! Answers, getting tips from Stack Overload's Joel Spolsky for how to do it right, and how to keep the spammers out. Listen to an interview with location-based social search company Aardvark from last year, and check out our coverage of Quora.

It's a jam-packed week of news from the technology team at the Guardian.
