Shad will become the new host of CBC’s cultural affairs radio show Q, which relaunches in mid-April. The new show will have more musical performances and will be less structured, with a more conversational tone to allow more live spontaneous moments. Shad’s first morning behind the mic as the official host of Q takes place on April 20. CBC Radio is heard right across Canada; persons in other countries can tune in online at http://www.cbc.ca/radio/
