Andrea Tudhope was the senior producer for America Amplified’s national talk show centered around the 2020 election. She shares how she prioritized diversity and listening to create the show and how the show highlighted community stories from across the country.

America Amplified: Election 2020 is a national talk show launching in October to foster community dialogue and to share experiences from across America. The show will be informed by community engagement journalism work that's been happening throughout the year.

Here’s how we collected voicemails for an audio diary that air on our national talk show, “Life, Community, and COVID-19.”

Live talk shows audiences can go beyond just who’s listening when it’s on air. Through Facebook Live, Twitter or other social media channels, you can broaden your audience before and after the show.

Broadcasting talk shows on Facebook Live will broaden audience and add another venue for engagement.
