    CBC Radio One says Lee will host the new 30-minute weekly show “Sleepover,”  which will air Mondays at 7:30 p.m. ET, beginning June 27.

    Described as “a heartwarming social experiment,”  the show sees three complete strangers staying together in a hotel room for one evening, night and morning.  In each episode, one stranger reveals a problem from their life while the other two offer advice.

    Each sleepover event spans three episodes.

    Other summer programming headed to CBC  Radio One includes “The Life Game,” which combines interviews with improvisation in front of a live audience.

    There are also three series created from the hit podcasts  “Someone Knows Something,”  “Back Story” and “Campus.”
