Radio 3's podcast is truly unique: it's full of amazing, 100% Canadian music from new and emerging artists. It's great news for music fans and it's even better news for independent Canadian musicians. We are extremely excited about the potential for exposing Canadian artists to a wider international audience with this new technology. Are You An Independent Musician Who Wants to Get Involved In Radio 3 Podcasts? If you're already a member of NewMusicCanada, log on to your member page and agree to our new podcasting waiver. When you first signed up with NMC there was no such thing as podcasting, and therefore, no mention of it in the original waiver you agreed to. In order for us to include your music in this exciting new programming initiative and keep everyone protected, we've created an addendum to the NMC waiver which grants us permission to include your tracks.
