Vreeeowm! This week's podcast takes you inside the world of Formula E, the all-electric motorsport. Andrew Hoyle/CNET

Apple's long-awaited music streaming service is here at last -- but is it any good? The CNET UK team offer their first impressions of the iPhone-maker's Spotify rival, in the latest episode of the UK's greatest tech podcast.

It's a packed show this week, with a special trackside report on Formula E, the high-speed racing league for electric vehicles. You'll hear how the sport pushes electric travel tech forward, as well as a defence of the FanBoost mechanic that lets fans give racers a speed advantage by voting for their favourites.

We'll also be hearing from robotics professor Noel Sharkey, who many Brits will remember as a judge on TV show "Robot Wars". These days Sharkey is part of the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, an international coalition of non-governmental organisations who want a global treaty to ban autonomous killing machines. There's more about this fascinating cause, your feedback from this week in tech and more. Plus, Harry Potter takes to the stage!

Hit play now, and if you're a fan of the show, why not treat us to a review on iTunes? Go on, it'd make our day.
