Aleks Krotoski is joined by Charles Arthur and Dan Catt for this week's special studio-based podcast, as the team take a break from their busy live schedule. With a little more time, they have the chance to look back over the last few weeks of stories – from the launch of the iPhone 4S and the death of Apple's Steve Jobs – and consider the business impact of the BlackBerry's service disruption, the loss of computing legend Dennis Ritchie, and what lies ahead for the UK's digital enterprise cluster.

Charles speaks to RIM chief Stephen Bates about the organisation's misfortunes – and the financial cost to the company of compensating millions of BlackBerry users for the loss of their service – and to Wikipedia's Jimmy Wales about the strengths of the UK's digital scene. Aleks speaks to the iPhone 4S, giving the speech recognition software a run for its money.
