Tom Power is the award winning host of Q with Tom Power produced by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). Tom’s heartfelt and enthusiastic interview style has attracted guests from around the globe including Harry Styles, Adele, Chappell Roan, Bono, Denzel Washington, Bruce Springsteen, Jerry Seinfeld, Lee Jung-Jae, Celine Dion, Guillermo del Toro, Matthew Perry, Paul Simon, Mick Jagger, and Janelle Monae. Since becoming the host of Q in 2016, listeners have come to know Tom for his in-depth interviewing style (speaking to Atlanta rapper Killer Mike about the Ferguson grand jury verdict), his mischievous sense of humour (jokingly chiding Catherine O’Hara for her parenting skills in Home Alone), and his genuine enthusiasm and fearlessness (singing a duet with Mavis Staples). Tom started his radio career in his home of St. John’s Newfoundland while studying folklore at Memorial University. At just 21 he joined CBC full time as the host of the folk music show Deep Roots, making him the youngest host of a national radio show since Peter Jennings. When he’s not behind the mic, Tom is a fixture at traditional music sessions across the country.
