On this week's podcast, Charles Arthur finds out what's in the pipeline for BlackBerry-makers RIM after the firm has been caught up in the recent London riots. He discovers the future of a company who recently announced plans to cut 2,000 jobs, and a huge loss in market share in one of their key territories – the USA – but how their new operating systems and their handheld Playbook should change their fortunes.

We also demystify the process of getting funding for your great digital idea. DFJ Espirit's Nic Brisbourne, the funder behind travel social network WAYN and social media consultancy service Conversocial, and author of Equity Kicker, is in the studio to talk us through Series A, Angels and VC funding. He also drops a few hints about the next big thing: where and what is going to make money over the next five years.

All this plus the latest news on Tech Weekly form the Guardian.
