What if kids could call the shots in the classroom? An unsual education model called "unschooling" involves no homework, no tests, and no emphasis on grades. A Calgary author, Judy Arnall, is releasing a book called Unschooling to University, which follows the trajectory of 30 unschooled children who entered or graduated from postsecondary institutions.

Guest: Judy Arnall, president of the Unschooling Canada Association

The Stanley Cup has had a rough summer in the hands of the Washington Capitals. The NHL is now politely asking teams who win the Stanley Cup to treat it with a bit more respect - which includes not using it for keg stands in the future.

Guest: Phil Pritchard, official Keeper of the Stanley Cup
