Description
Across three decades at MuchMusic, CBC and beyond, George Stroumboulopoulos has shaped the Canadian cultural landscape and become a defining generational voice, interviewing everyone from punk legends and sports stars to politicians and royalty. Now, in the new CBC Gem documentary Stories That Made Us, he travels across the country to explore the foundational film and television that forged our national identity.
In this conversation with Tom Power, Strombo makes the case for why Canada's weird and wonderful CanCon era needs a comeback, pointing to shows like The Hilarious House of Frightenstein and Hammy Hamster. He also looks back on his formative years at MuchMusic, and tackles some pressing cultural questions — like whether the dog from The Littlest Hobo was secretly a narc.
Q with Tom Power is a daily conversation with the artists, writers, actors and musicians who define this cultural moment in time. The chat is informal, wide-ranging, playful, and allows the artist to explore their art and the contexts that have shaped them through their career.
