The Guardian

We are always looking for ways to amplify supporters' voices, hear your reflections on the big news stories of the moment, and connect our readers with our newsroom. We hope that this monthly podcast will enable us to do just this – providing a platform for journalists, Guardian supporters and industry experts to come together to discuss the issues that matter most. You can submit topic suggestions and questions to our team via email at weneedtotalkabout@theguardian.com. Do please leave us your name, location and phone number so we can get in touch if needed. What is it that we need to talk about?
