Tertulia
How do we say "tertulia" when we talk about those TV programs where people gather and talk about specific topics or just about things going on in the world?
Gathering programs??? |

Tertulia es un término que algunos anglos prestan del español por falta de un buen termino en inglés. Sin embargo las palabras que usaría yo por tertulia son dicussion group.

Depending on how the participants are organized and how the discussion is structured or moderated, it might be called a "panel talk/conversation/discussion", or a "talk show".

I heard somewhere the expression "talking heads show". Is it ever used for this or is it something different?

Sounds like a tertulia on television to me! The word does not appear in the RAE, which I find odd.

Thank you, Perikles!
Just one more question: would it be a commonly understood/used expression or should one rather choose a more formal one like Pjt's suggestion? But it does. Check here.

The group on TV here in the States are usually referred to as a panel such as on Fox News or Meet the Press. I'm not sure what I would call these shows exactly. "Talk show" is the generic name for it I guess, but I've never really thought about it until now.
I've heard the phrase "talking heads" for sure in America to describe the people on the various shows. I haven't heard "talking heads show" though, not that it isn't used in daily speech. "Talking heads" usually has a slightly negative connotation. |
