The Listening Machine is a call-in show that asks San Diegans questions about the big issues they face every day.

In this episode, part of a series covering San Diegans’ experiences living through the COVID-19 pandemic, host Jakob McWhinney receives voicemails from a man hurt by his twin’s refusal to get a vaccine, and a grandmother frustrated that her granddaughter hasn’t been allowed to get vaccinated.

McWhinney also speaks to San Diego City College philosophy professor Soon-Ah Fadness about the ethics of vaccination and navigating the holidays with family.

The next season of The Listening Machine will focus on another pandemic wreaking havoc on San Diego … homelessness. Do you live in San Diego and want to talk about your thoughts or experiences?
