Schedule for Thursday, Sept 25

Please note that all schedules are subject to last minute changes. Please check back for updates. Here's what we have on tap today:
 

• Comedian Tig Notaro returns to Q to chat about her new tour, career and ever-increasing popularity (and breaking out of being pigeon-holed as 'the woman who jokes about cancer').
   
• We talk to award-winning author Joseph Boyden about his collaboration with the Royal Winnipeg Ballet on Going Home Star - Truth and Reconciliation, a ballet that explores the experiences of Indian Residential School Survivors and their families, and on telling this story using a traditionally European form of dance.
   
• In Burma, where astrologers hold great political influence, sweeping political reforms have given rise to a new class of astrologer that doesn't parrot the position of the ruling elite. Q speaks to journalist Nicholas Kohler about the rise of the astrologer pundit, and their rivalry with the old guard.
