qwith Tom Power

After calling off her Las Vegas residency earlier this year, Spears' longtime manager has suggested that she might never perform again. Fans allege that the star is being held under a conservatorship against her will.

The Jerry Cans have become synonymous with Nunavut music and have helped pave the way for many other artists in their community. Lead throat singer, Nancy Mike, joined Tom Power on stage at our q live in Iqaluit show to tell us more.

Today on q: actor Dan Aykroyd, actor Ahmed Best on his post-Jar Jar Binks life, librettist Yvette Nolan and composer Dean Burry from the opera Shanawdithit, musician Josh Qaumariaq of Josh Q and the Trade-Offs.

The Kingston native also gives some advice to Hip, a band he holds "in great reverence."

Roughly 200 years ago, a young Indigenous woman named Shanawdithit watched as European settlers forced her community out of their homes. Composer Dean Burry and librettist Yvette Nolan talk about using opera to keep the story of Shanawdithit alive.

Josh Qaumariaq has become something of a musical hero in Nunavut. He and his band the Trade-Offs performed on stage at our q live in Iqaluit show.

Best still feels connected to the role of Jar Jar Binks, which he performed 20 years ago, not only because it was a performance that he really cared about, but because the backlash created a low-point in his life that he had to endure.

Today on q: rapper FXCKMR, folk musician Aasiva, q online columnist Elamin Abdelmahmoud, actor Rob Ostlere (the first person to die on Game of Thrones), singer-songwriter Bashar Murad.

Rob Ostlere was fresh out of drama school when he landed a part in the show's pilot. But little did he know his six minutes of screen time would have such an impact on his life.

The young artist experienced depression and anxiety — but everything changed when he began rapping.

Elamin Abdelmahmoud is Buzzfeed's social media editor and q's online columnist. Every week, he brings us up to speed on the big headlines taking over the internet right now.

Aasiva's self-titled debut album has been nominated for two Indigenous Music Awards this year.

Today on q: author and cartoonist Cathy Guisewite, throat singer and electronic music artist​​​​​​​ Riit, fashion designer Victoria Kakuktinniq, operatic tenor Russell Thomas.

When the comic strip Cathy was first published in 1976, it was groundbreakingly feminist. Guisewite, the creator of the comic, explains why she thinks the pressures on women today make the comic just as relevant in 2019.

Riit is a talented throat singer from Pangnirtung, Nunavut who now calls Iqaluit home. She's gearing up to release her debut album, which is filled with pop lyrics in Inuktitut, throat singing and even field recordings captured from around Nunavut.

From q live in Iqaluit, designer Victoria Kakuktinniq discusses how she's able to blend modern ideas with traditional Inuit techniques in fashion.

Acclaimed operatic tenor Russell Thomas shares his perspective on why banning blackface won't get at the root issues of opera's lack of diversity.

Today on q: q live in Iqaluit, screen panel with Tina Hassannia and Eli Glasner, singer-songwriter Jon Bryant.

This week on q, we're featuring some of the best music and art from Iqaluit. Today, hear from the Inuksuk Drum Dancers, performance artist Laakkuluk Williamson Bathory, Juno-nominated band The Jerry Cans and comedian Peter Autut.

The q screen panel discusses the impact of The Big Bang Theory and what it means for the television landscape now that it's ending.

Jon Bryant is a musician whose experience with the alleged cult NXIVM was transformative and incredibly complicated. He joined Tom Power to reflect on the experience and how it inspired his latest album.
