Q with Tom Power
CBC
Five days a week acclaimed interviewer Tom Power sits down with the artists, writers, actors and musicians who define pop culture. Whether he’s ribbing Adele, singing a boyband classic with Simu Liu, or dissecting faith with U2 frontman Bono – Tom brings the same curiosity, respect and meticulous preparation into every conversation. He also has a track record for interviewing artists on the precipice of stardom – like Lizzo and Billie Eilish — who appeared on Q well before hitting the mainstream. Hear your favourite artists as they truly are, every weekday with Tom Power.

Listen to the last episode:
Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth, The Aviator, Tár) is one of the most respected actors of our time. She's an onscreen chameleon who transforms into whatever role she plays, taking on whatever accent is required of her, so much so that she says it’s easy to forget what she actually sounds like. Cate sits down with Tom for a thoughtful conversation about two of her most recent projects — the unique political satire “Rumours” and the psychological thriller series “Disclaimer” — plus, her voice work and how she chooses her roles.
