Tech Weekly podcast: Google Music, Occupy London's network influence

Aleks Krotoski is joined by Guardian telecoms correspondent Juliette Garside and Occupy London's Martin Dittus to make sense of the week's technology headlines. Under the microscope: Google's new music service – is free cloud storage and integration with the social network Google Plus enough to distract users from the absence of a back catalogue?

Also this week, UK prime minister David Cameron's technology manifesto pledge to introduce ePetitions with more than 100,000 signatures into the Commons is expected to be watered down. What are the motivations, and how will this affect the public's perception of valuable, responsive e-participation? Finally, a group of concerned developers wants to rid the world of Flash, and not just from mobile operating systems. We hear from a member of Occupy Flash about its motivations and wish list.

And Aleks grills Dittus about the global movement's use of technology. What's different in this protest than in previous ones, and how is the group using the tech to coordinate it members without generating hierarchies?
