Escuchar
Escuchar means "to listen to", rather than "to listen" I thought. That's why I chose "quienes" rather than "a quienes" (plus the accents!). But you have to include the "a" in this case, do you? I know the Spanish like to duplicate prepositions!!
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Asking questions about people with preposition + quién in Spanish"

Hola Alan,
I imagine you are referring to this question:
¿___ debemos escuchar? (Whom do we have to listen to?)
A quiénes
When you listen to something, for example, "Escucho la radio todos los días" (I listen to the radio everyday) you don't need "a", but when you listen to someone/people, it is "escuchar a...". In this case we are referring to people, in the form of a question, therefore you need "a", ¿A quiénes debemos escuchar?
I hope this clarified your doubt.
Un saludo
