We Didn't Start the Fire(side Chat)

ISO a category name for a Q&A interview series (video, synchronous, very friendly, with - and for - experts from US higher ed academic administration). I am bored by the terms Fireside Chat, Campfire Chat, and Spotlight. It's not a Roundtable, as it's usually 1:1... but occasionally we may have more guests. The vibe is informal, focusing on giving viewers access to participate in interesting conversations with their peers at other universities. Probably 1x month. MeFi, what can I call this thing?
Peers You Haven't Met Yet
The Staff Meeting From Heaven
Mentoring Beyond These Walls
Connections (OK, this is probably my only serious suggestion)

Best answer: "Coffee break with XXX", or "let's go for coffee". When an academic wants to have a chat with another academic, they ask them, "do you want to go for coffee?" (Even if no coffee is actually involved.)

I love “Office Hours”, JoeZydeco! My contribution: Onward & Upward.
Who is the audience? What kinds of higher-ed topics are being discussed? A browse of popular podcasts (or other media) for similar segments might give some insight into what [the youths] [fellow professors] [executives] gravitate toward.
