Schedule for Thursday, Jan 23

Happy Thursday! Here's what we have on tap today: 

• Jian talks to Israeli politician Shimon Ohayon, who introduced a bill that would make it a crime to use the word "Nazi" or other Third Reich language and imagery in anything other than a historical/educational context in Israel. We'll also hear from Haaretz journalist Allison Kaplan Sommer on the reaction and criticism the bill has sparked in Israel. 

• Love, loyalty, and human weakness are the common denominators in the two latest creative projects from director Atom Egoyan. His take on the classic opera "Cosi Fan Tutte" is onstage now in Toronto, and coming soon to cinemas is "Devil's Knot," a feature about the aftermath of savage child murder that stars Reese Witherspoon. 

• Pioneering alt-rockers The Pixies have reunited, and perform in studio Q from their latest set of EPs. A blend of hard and soft sounds, their music is admired by fans including U2's Bono, Thom Yorke of Radiohead, and David Bowie.
