TORONTO — Award-winning broadcaster Anna Maria Tremonti is stepping down from her role as host of CBC Radio One’s “The Current” to dive into the digital world of podcasting. Tremonti announced in a news release Monday that she will produce and host new projects for CBC Podcasts, including a one-on-one interview series set to launch this fall. Tremonti also has a second podcasting project in the works, the details of which will be announced later this year. A CBC spokeswoman declined to provide details about the public broadcaster’s plans to select a new host of “The Current,” but said more information is forthcoming. Tremonti has been part of the current affairs radio show since its inception in 2002.
