2020–2021: After the COVID hiatus
An episode of Talks Machina discussing was scheduled for March 17, 2020 with Marisha and Liam as guests. The episode was canceled on March 17 to enact social distancing protocols for COVID-19, and all broadcasts including Talks Machina were suspended for a COVID-19 hiatus. After six months, it was announced on September 4, 2020 during that Talks Machina would return on September 15 and broadcast every other Tuesday in a socially distanced format in which guests pre-recorded the show from home. Because the new format was pre-recorded, the show no longer took audience-submitted questions and instead discussed questions written by Dani Carr and other members of production.
