You might not remember every song on the radio from 2007, but if you were anywhere near a club or dancefloor, you might remember the electronic duo Justice. Their debut album, with that glowing cross on the front, was impossible to ignore. Justice redefined electronic music for a new generation, and became one of the most influential acts of their time. The members of the band, Gaspard Augé and Xavier de Rosnay, join Q guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about what's changed since then, why they're not interested in nostalgia, and what it takes to keep making great music as you get older. 

Craig Mazin is the showrunner behind HBO's hit post-apocalyptic series “The Last of Us” — but he didn't always write TV dramas. Much of his career was spent working on big comedy film franchises like “Scary Movie” and “The Hangover.” In this conversation with guest host Garvia Bailey, Craig breaks down why it takes a smart person to write dumb comedy, plus, what you can expect from Season 2 of “The Last of Us.” If you enjoy this conversation, check out Tom Power's chat with director and producer Barry Sonnenfeld.

The actor Jonathan Roumie is most famous for playing the role of Jesus Christ in the smash hit TV show, “The Chosen.” He joins guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about the show's massive global impact, the unique pressures that come with the role, and why centuries later, there remains a great fascination with the life that Jesus lived.

The singer-songwriter Tracy Chapman made her voice heard in 1988 when she performed her song “Fast Car” for 90,000 people at a Free Nelson Mandela concert at Wembley Stadium. That song was off her self-titled debut album, which went on to win three Grammys and solidify her as an important American voice. Now, 35 years later, it's still making an impact and it's just been re-issued on vinyl. Tracy joins guest host Garvia Bailey to share her memories of making that record, why she thinks “Fast Car” means so much to so many, and how the years she spent busking on street corners taught her how to hold a crowd's attention with just her voice and a guitar.

His shows have sold millions of tickets around the world, he has a Netflix stand-up special called “Les fleurs du tapis,” and he's also a judge on “Quel talent!” (Quebec's version of “Canada's Got Talent”). But now, Rachid is ready to make a name for himself in the English-speaking world.

For the past 30 years, on the last Sunday of every month, you could go to Yuk Yuk's in Toronto and see the Nubian Comedy Revue — one of the top showcases for Black and racialized comedians in Canada. In the crowd, you might have even caught some celebrity guests, like Will Smith, Vivica A. Fox or the Toronto Raptors. Comedian Kenny Robinson has been producing the show since founding it back in the ‘90s. Now, a new documentary, “People of Comedy,” is celebrating the show's 30-year history. Kenny sits down with guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about the Nubian Show's legacy, how Canadian comedy is defined by our multiculturalism, and what sets Canadian comics apart from American comics.

Mitch Wood is a Toronto-based actor and content creator who's gone viral for his impressions of people in the theatre industry.

If you like this conversation, check out Tom Power's interview with sketch comic Laura Ramoso, who went viral for impersonating her parents.

Though the influential punk band Hüsker Dü has long been disbanded, its co-founder Bob Mould has never stopped making music. Back in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, Hüsker Dü cut a path for countless indie bands to follow, like Nirvana, Pixies and Green Day. But before all that, Bob was — as he describes it — a precocious kid growing up in a small farming town near the Canadian border. On the heels of releasing his 15th solo album, “Here We Go Crazy,” Bob joins guest host Garvia Bailey to look back on his life in music. He tells us about his childhood years, how Montreal helped shape him as an artist, and how a Ramones show changed everything for him. In case you missed it, you might also enjoy Tom Power's conversation with Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson.

Canadian horror actors Luke Hutchie and Matthew Finlan are the hosts of the CBC series “Ghosting,” which just began its second season.

If you're looking for more conversations about the paranormal, check out Tom's interview with musician Brittany Howard, who says she used to practice music in a haunted house.

With journalists Garvia Bailey, Saba Eitizaz, Christina Frangou, and Salimah Shivji. Content note: this episode includes discussion of gender-based violence and sexual assault. It's 2023 and we're in Season 5. We start with online harassment and hate faced by women and racialized journalists. We need them to give voice to what's often left unheard in Canada. This makes the harassment and abuse they experience at disproportionate levels particularly vexing. It's harmful to them as people and as media workers, and it runs counter to the goal of making our world better and fairer. We can't achieve that goal without a diverse news media landscape and truth in reporting. Online harm and harassment are on the rise globally. We often point fingers across borders, but the Coalition for Women in Journalism says that Canada is the country where the greatest number of women journalists were exposed to organized troll campaigns in 2022. This is gendered violence, and it's unacceptable. Digital attacks aimed predominantly at women and racialized journalists victimize, belittle and, ultimately, undermine trust in facts and jeopardize press freedom. We collaborated with the Canadian Journalism Foundation and the #NotOk campaign on a discussion with journalists in December 2022. Today's episode features a snippet of this conversation, focused on the lived experiences of our panelists. It was moderated by CBC News correspondent, Salimah Shivji. It featured Garvia Bailey, journalist, broadcaster, and co-founder of Media Girlfriends, Christina Frangou, freelance journalist and 2022 winner of the Landsberg Award, and Saba Eitizaz, Toronto Star producer and co-host of This Matters Podcast.
