“Talk to,” as in — Joe can talk to that issue. Sally can talk to the presentation.

More often you hear “speak to”, rather than “talk to”.
Both are annoying , because the one thing they have in common with ALL these overused , instantly-minted but lame cliches is that they are substitutes for a more personal and individual way of expressing ourselves.
