San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria delivers the State of the City Address, Thursday, Jan. 15, 2026. / Zoë Meyers for Voice of San Diego

The VOSD Podcast crew is firing on all cylinders this week.

On the latest episode, host Scott Lewis explains why a comment from a spokesperson with the Mayor’s Office has him feeling gaslit.

And, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! (OK, maybe not.) But our hosts previewed Mayor Todd Gloria’s State of the City address. We recorded hours before he delivered his speech, so we tried to predict what Mayor Gloria would say.

Our own Will Huntsberry published a story about how San Diego leaders and City Hall insiders feel about Gloria’s leadership. Huntsberry joined us on the podcast to talk about the story.

Also, it’s quite possible you live in an area at higher risk of flooding. Bella Ross explains how San Diego developed the area around the San Diego River and other high-risk flood areas.
