There is so much happening with the CBC Radio 3 Sessions that I hardly know where to begin, so I'll cut right to it. CBC Radio 3 Sessions is now a podcast, a TV show, and a CD.

Calm down. Here are the details:

The CD

We are stoked to announce the upcoming release of the CBC Radio 3 Sessions CD Vol III, which comes out on October 9th through Maple Records. Included on the disk are songs by Joel Plaskett, Amy Millan, Bedouin Soundclash, Destroyer, Chad VanGaalen, Pink Mountaintops, You Say Party! We Say Die!, Shout Out Out Out Out, Tegan and Sara, Malajube, Tokyo Police Club, and Cuff The Duke.

The Podcast

Finally, the podcast you've all been waiting for. It's the CBC Radio 3 Sessions, hosted by Tariq Hussain, and featuring artists recorded live off-the-floor as they experiment with alternate arrangements and new songs, sometimes before they're released. Podcast launches September 12th.

The TV Show

In Session is a raw, half-hour, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the CBC Radio 3 Sessions. No hooks, no gimmicks, no lip synch -- just great music and the personalities that go with it. In Session premieres on CBC Country Canada on Wednesday October 3rd at 6:00 PM, 10:00 PM and midnight ET. First taste is free. YouTube
