 | Welcome to the new week in music. To kick things off, we have a brand new edition of the CMU Podcast for you in which we discuss ERA's new music retail stats, Help Musicians' new mental health initiative and the Mercury Prize shortlist. CLICK HERE to tune in to the podcast, and check out more information about this week's edition below. This is the last edition of the CMU Podcast before its summer break. But make sure you subscribe via the podcast app of your choice so you don't miss any editions when we return. Info here. INTRODUCING TW:TALKS While the CMU Podcast is on its summer break, why not tune in to the podcast of our sister magazine ThreeWeeks Edinburgh? In TW:TALKS, Chris chats to comedians and performers appearing at the Edinburgh Festival this year. You can hear his interview with the brilliant Phil Wang right now and his conversation with the marvellous Rosie Wilby will go live on Thursday. Check it all out here. THE BEST OF THREEWEEKS EDINBURGH The Edinburgh Festival cranks into action this week, and ThreeWeeks is covering it all. We'll be sharing highlights of this year's ThreeWeeks coverage in the CMU Daily each day from tomorrow - so look out for a daily helping of culture throughout the month of August. Have a good week, enjoy the podcast, and look out for the first CMU Daily of the week here in your inbox later today. Thanks for reading Andy Malt Editor, CMU |
