Sides with union and claps wildly, making Question Time? (5,10)
I believe the answer is:
panel discussion
'question time?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'sides with union and claps wildly' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'wildly' indicates an anagram.
'union'+'claps'='unionclaps'
'sides' after 'unionclaps' is 'unionclapssides'.
'unionclapssides' anagrammed gives 'PANEL DISCUSSION'.
'making' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for panel discussion that I've seen before include "Question Time, perhaps" , "Brains Trust ..." .)
