featuring

English Other General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters
• It is an off-air program featuring one moderator with one speaker, which discusess the issue of AML. It is held regularly, for example once every two months.


Is the word "featuring" appropriate in the context? Or should I just use "with" instead?

Both are usable, however

Since you're describing a regular activity, I prefer "with." I'd use "featuring" if you had someone special coming in and you wanted to highlight his/her participation.

agree Can Altinbay : Quite so. Don't you think that his second sentence is odd?

Yes, I would have said, "It's held once every two months." The regulary is superfulous. And thanks Can! :)

featuring one moderator and one speaker;

It is held regularly; or example, every two months.

This is how I would rewrite these sentences.

By combining the moderator and the speaker with the conjunction "and," you now are featuring both.

I just had to offer something which I think is a bit more compact! Apologies (of sorts!) to those who have already answered well.
Example sentence:

"It is an off-air program, held once every two months, featuring a moderator and a speaker, discussing the issue of AML."
