talkbacks
Listener call-ins
Talkbacks are responses from audience members, typically in theater or broadcasting contexts.
After a performance, a talkback is a Q&A session where viewers discuss the work with cast or creators: The playwright stayed for the talkback.
In broadcast, talkback refers to the communication system allowing producers to speak to on-air talent through earpieces.
Online, talkbacks are comment sections where readers respond to articles.
