What a year, right? Just like everyone, KPBS has had to change how it's done some things since the pandemic started. One of these was to change its events series called "Community Conversations" from being in-person to virtual. We wanted to share some of these crucial conversations with you, and that's why we're bringing you this new podcast, "San Diego Conversations."

Things like the future of policing, the impact of distance learning on kids' and parents' lives, the crucial role of the census during a pandemic and more.
