Schedule for Monday, September 8 2014

Jian's back with an all new season of Q! Find out what to look forward to this fall, and what we have in store for you today:
 

• Filmmaker Gabe Polsky joins Jian to discuss his documentary Red Army -- a fascinating look at the powerhouse Soviet hockey teams of the 1980s and the cold war that was fought on the hockey rink. The film was met with rave reviews at Cannes, and is now screening as part of the Toronto International Film Festival.
   
• The New Pornographers return to Studio Q with their new, critically acclaimed record Brill Bruisers. Carl Newman and John Collins join Jian to discuss what jelled this time around, and how they manage to continue breaking new ground as a group while several members also pursue successful solo careers.
   
• Best of Q: From Haircuts by Children to Slow Dance with Teacher, Canadian playwright and performance artist Darren O'Donnell has spent much of his career creating works that bring real people together as public performance, often in provoking and powerful ways. His latest piece "All the Sex I've Ever Had" sees older women and men take the stage to share their experiences of sex, passion and love, challenging the idea that such things are strictly the domain of the young.
