Colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer deaths for Americans under the age of 50, according to a paper published last month in JAMA. This research backs up a trend that doctors have been seeing for a while now: Colon cancer isn’t just a disease that affects older people. Just last week, James Van Der Beek, who played Dawson on “Dawson’s Creek” died of colorectal cancer. He was 48 years old. In the past few years, more health organizations have followed the American Cancer Society in lowering the recommended age for colon cancer screenings from 50 to 45 years old. And more recently, there’s been a trend online that encourages people to start “fibermaxxing”... which is just a fancy way of telling them to eat more fiber. We talk to a doctor about this trend and the symptoms to look out for when it comes to colon cancer. Guests: Dr. Rachel Issaka, director of the colorectal cancer screening program for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and UW Medicine Related links: Leading Cancer Deaths in People Younger Than 50 Years | Breast Cancer | JAMA | JAMA Network Colorectal Cancer Is Now the Top Cause of Cancer Death in Younger People - WSJ Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

That Show Hasn't Been Funny In Years: an SNL podcast on Radio Misfits
Nick looks back at the two times Catherine O’Hara hosted Saturday Night Live, following her passing on January 30, 2026. It's a chance to remember just how special she was, from her work in Beetlejuice and Home Alone to her unforgettable TV roles on Schitt’s Creek and the legendary SCTV. Even though she was once hired by SNL and famously walked away before ever appearing, she eventually returned to host twice, in 1991 and 1992. Nick revisits those two shows, playing back standout sketches and moments that capture her timing, range, and quiet brilliance. Along the way, he shares behind-the-scenes stories that add context to how those episodes came together and why they still hold up. It's part tribute and part time capsule, celebrating a performer who could steal a scene without ever forcing a laugh. The result is a warm, funny trip back to the early 90s and a reminder of how much Catherine O'Hara brought to comedy, on SNL and everywhere else. [Ep 163]
When Catherine O'Hara died late last month, it was a sizable blow to the entertainment world. Whether it was on television or in movies, she brought a quality that was very particularly “her.” While that's a tough thing to wrap up in just one episode, Dori and Kpolly give it a shot — with a little help from the Radio Milwaukee family.Fellow O'Hara appreciator Jon Adler joins our familiar cinema-loving duo to craft a retrospective that's both heartfelt and hilarious, much like the woman herself. We trace her journey from waitress to Gilda Radner understudy at Second City to a member of the groundbreaking troupe at SCTV. We dive into her most beloved performances, from the pretentious Delia Deetz in Beetlejuice to the frantic Kate McCallister in Home Alone to her understated performance as Mickey Crabbe in A Mighty Wind. Of course, no discussion would be complete without covering her turn as Moira Rose in Schitt's Creek (yes, the enchiladas make a cameo).So join us as we fold in the cheese and have a good airplane cry while paying tribute to a true comedy legend.#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Door Company.

In this special bonus episode of All2ReelToo, we pay tribute to the late James Van Der Beek, who sadly passed away at just 48. To celebrate his legacy, we rewind to where it all began — the unforgettable pilot of Dawson's Creek. Welcome to the picturesque coastal town of Capeside, Massachusetts — where movie dreams, first loves, and complicated friendships collide. At the center is aspiring filmmaker Dawson Leery (Van Der Beek), a 15-year-old cinephile scripting his own coming-of-age story alongside his lifelong best friends: the fiercely loyal Joey Potter and class clown with hidden depth, Pacey Witter. But life imitates drama when sophisticated New York transplant Jen Lindley moves in next door, instantly captivating Dawson and stirring unexpected jealousy in Joey. As friendships are tested during a tense movie night, sparks also fly elsewhere — Pacey finds himself drawn to the mysterious Tamara Jacobs… who just happens to be the new English teacher at Capeside High. Add in Dawson's rejection from the school's film class, and suddenly sophomore year is shaping up to be anything but ordinary. We break down the iconic moments, the unforgettable ‘90s vibes, and the performances that launched careers — including: Michelle Williams as Jen Lindley Joshua Jackson as Pacey Witter Katie Holmes as Joey Potter Mary-Margaret Humes as Gale Leery John Wesley Shipp as Mitch Leery Mary Beth Peil as Evelyn Ryan Nina Repeta as Bessie Potter With memorable supporting turns by Leann Hunley as Tamara Jacobs and others who helped shape the world of Capeside.

On talent and early training “I was singing, dancing at seven, acting at eleven… doing all three professionally since I was about ten years old.” “I thought I was going to be a recording artist… I had my own single out. I was charting on Billboard.” On being boxed in “I didn’t start getting pigeonholed until I did A Different World… now you’re just an actress.” On entering animation “There weren’t very many people of color in the animation world… the director said, ‘Who are you? How come I never met you before?’” “I get to voice characters they wouldn’t hire me visually to play.” On representation and Star Trek “In the legacy of Star Trek, it’s me and Avery Brooks as the Black captains.” “Seeing Nichelle Nichols made me hopeful… she was my hero.” On career longevity “You quiet the naysayers by just showing up and doing the work.” “God keeps opening doors and giving me what I need to walk through them successfully.” On giving back “I am my best investment.” (also used in her foundation’s mission) “Where you were yesterday is not where you have to end up today.” @#SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's episode is one we truly, deeply hoped we'd never have to record. But… here we are. James Van Der Beek passed away on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, after a two‑year battle with colon cancer. And listen… even after spending nearly a decade watching Dawson's Creek, we still weren't prepared for the gut punch of this news. Yes — we really have been doing this podcast that long, and no, we don't want to talk about it. As the hosts of Basic Teen TV, we never expected this actor — someone who first entered our lives through a '90s teen drama — to become such a constant presence that he essentially set up camp in our lives. So we wanted to record a short episode to honor him. Something small, something honest. A way to process what his loss means — not just for us, but for the generation that grew up watching him navigate heartbreaks far bigger than the creek he stood beside. James wasn't just a familiar face from TV; he shaped a generation's emotional vocabulary. He was a cultural touchstone for millennials — a man whose single tear could launch a thousand memes and still somehow make us feel something real. His passing hit us harder than expected. But here's the thing: while James may be gone, what he gave us isn't. The warmth, the vulnerability, the sincerity he brought to every role — it stays. His legacy, especially his unforgettable portrayal of Dawson Leery, will stay with us forever. Because if there's anything James taught us, it's that you can cry dramatically and still keep going.

En el programa de hoy, como os prometí, hablaré de casos, en torno a crímenes históricos donde la figura de la víctima, a través de sueños, visiones o presuntas manifestaciones sobrenaturales parece influir decisivamente en el curso de la justicia. I. El caso de Elva Zona Heaster. Condado de Greenbrier, 1897 La primera historia nos traslada a Appalachia, Virginia Occidental, en el año 1897. Elva Zona Heaster, nace aproximadamente entre 1873 y 1876, hija de Mary Jane Heaster, una mujer de carácter firme y profundamente protectora. Zona arrastraba un estigma social considerable: hacia 1895 había dado a luz a un hijo fuera del matrimonio, cuyo padre fue identificado como George Woldridge. En una comunidad rural profundamente conservadora, esa circunstancia la colocaba en una posición social vulnerable. El niño fue dado en adopción o falleció en la infancia, los registros no son concluyentes, pero el peso moral de aquel hecho marcó su reputación. En octubre de 1896, llega al condado un herrero llamado Erasmus Stribbling Shue, apodado “Trout”. Era un hombre con antecedentes inquietantes: un primer matrimonio terminado en abandono, un segundo con Lucy Ann Tritt, fallecida en circunstancias poco claras, y posteriormente una condena por robo de caballos que lo llevó a prisión durante dos años. Apenas semanas después de conocerse,, Zona y Shue contraen matrimonio. La madre de la joven manifiesta un rechazo visceral hacia el nuevo esposo, intuyendo algo oscuro en su carácter. El sábado 23 de enero de 1897, el joven Anderson Jones, de 11 años, encuentra el cuerpo de Zona tendido al pie de las escaleras. Sus ojos abiertos, una mancha de sangre, postura rígida. Cuando el Dr. George W. Knapp examina el cuerpo, observa detalles extraños, pero realiza una inspección superficial. Shue había lavado el cadáver, lo había vestido y había envuelto su cuello con un pañuelo rígido y un velo atado firmemente bajo la barbilla. La causa inicial de muerte se certifica como “desmayo eterno” y luego “complicaciones del embarazo”. El funeral se celebra al día siguiente. Varios testigos notan algo perturbador: la cabeza de Zona parece moverse con excesiva soltura cuando el ataúd es tocado. Durante semanas, Mary Jane Heaster afirma haber sido visitada por la aparición de su hija. Según su testimonio, la joven le describe con precisión la violencia ejercida sobre su cuello y relata una discusión doméstica relacionada con la cena. Convencida, Mary Jane acude al fiscal del condado, John Alfred Preston. En la autopsia, realizada posteriormente se descubre que el cuello estaba dislocado, la tráquea aplastada y los ligamentos desgarrados. Shue es arrestado ese mismo día. II. El Crimen del Granero Rojo – Polstead, Suffolk (1827-1828) La segunda parte nos traslada a Polstead, Suffolk, Inglaterra, en la década de 1820. Maria Marten, nace el 24 de julio de 1801, era hija de Thomas Marten* un humilde cazador de topos. Tras la muerte de su madre Grace, fue criada por su madrastra Ann Marten. Maria era considerada atractiva, pero su belleza no le aseguró estabilidad social. Quedó embarazada de Peter Matthews, quien mantuvo económicamente al hijo, Thomas Henry Marten. A los 25 años, Maria era vista en la aldea como una “mujer caída”, marcada por la ilegitimidad de sus hijos. En 1826, entra en escena William Corder. Desde joven fue considerado problemático y manipulador. Comienza una relación con Maria que promete matrimonio y escape del estigma social. En 1827, la pareja planea huir juntos. William propone encontrarse en el llamado Granero Rojo (Red Barn), una construcción aislada de ladrillo rojizo en las afueras del pueblo. María desaparece. La madrastra de Maria comienza a tener sueños perturbadores en los que ve a la joven enterrada bajo el suelo del Granero Rojo. La insistencia de estos sueños genera inquietud familiar. II. El caso de Frederick Fisher La última historia nos traslada a la colonia penal de Nueva Gales del Sur, en 1826, concretamente a la región rural de Campbelltown. Frederick Fisher era un exconvicto inglés que había sido transportado a Australia por delitos relacionados con falsificación. Tras cumplir su condena, logró establecerse como agricultor en Campbelltown, donde adquirió tierras y ganado. Con el tiempo, se convirtió en un hombre económicamente estable y respetado dentro de la comunidad local. En una colonia donde muchos eran antiguos presidiarios intentando reconstruir su vida, Fisher representaba un ejemplo de reinserción exitosa. No era un hombre especialmente sociable, pero sí trabajador y metódico. Entre sus conocidos más cercanos se encontraba George Worrall, vecino y colaborador en algunos asuntos comerciales. La relación entre ambos es cordial, basada en la confianza práctica propia de una comunidad pequeña donde la cooperación era esencial. En junio de 1826, Fisher desaparece repentinamente. Worrall informa a los vecinos que su amigo había regresado a Inglaterra, o que había sido citado por las autoridades por problemas legales. Lo extraño es que Fisher no había liquidado sus propiedades ni arreglado formalmente sus asuntos financieros. Su ganado y tierras quedaron, de facto, bajo administración de Worrall. Un agricultor local, John Farley, afirma haber visto una figura sentada sobre la baranda de un puente cercano a Campbelltown, conocido como el puente sobre Fisher’s Creek. La figura le resultó reconocible: aseguraba que era Frederick Fisher. Farley no describió una visión difusa o espectral en términos melodramáticos; según el relato recogido, la figura parecía sólida, silenciosa, inmóvil. Lo inquietante era su expresión. En un primer momento, Farley dudó de su propia percepción. Sin embargo, la visión se repitió. La figura parecía señalar o dirigir la atención hacia un punto específico del terreno cercano al arroyo. El magistrado de la zona, Grafton Eliott Smith, tomó en consideración el testimonio. Se organizó una inspección en el área señalada, cerca del arroyo. Worrall fue arrestado y acusado formalmente. El hecho de que la localización del cuerpo estuviera asociada al testimonio de una aparición convirtió el caso en uno de los primeros grandes relatos sobrenaturales documentados en la historia australiana. Con el tiempo, la historia sería conocida como “Fisher’s Ghost”, integrándose en el folclore nacional y dando origen a festivales conmemorativos en Campbelltown. Escúchame en iVoox.

Today's episode is a deeply personal one. I was devastated to hear of the passing of James Van Der Beek. Like so many of you, I grew up watching Dawson's Creek. But for me, it was even more than a show. My very first job was working on Dawson's Creek in Wilmington, North Carolina. My parents got to see their little girl step onto a set they watched in our living room every week... and that memory means everything to me. Years later, I had dinner with James and his wife Kimberly (who was one of the very first guests ever on Food Heals episode 6). That night, James sat with me, looked me in the eyes, and told me my parents were proud of me. He held space for me in a way most people never do. He didn't have to. But that's who he was. In this episode, I'm joined by: Reality TV producer Jessica Sirikulbut, who shares her heartfelt reflections on James' character, his spiritual depth, and the emotional impact this loss has had on our generation. Ryan Bailey, host of So Bad It's Good, who brings his thoughtful pop culture lens to James' legacy and the profound way he shaped so many of our lives. Together, we reflect on: • The impact Dawson's Creek had on our generation • James' powerful final interviews about love and worthiness • What cancer teaches us about presence and perspective • The emotional and spiritual layers of healing • Why "I am worthy of love" might be the most important mantra of all James wasn't just a talented actor. He was a light. A father of six. A devoted husband. A man who meditated, journaled, and led with love. And in a world that feels so divided, his passing feels like a wake-up call to return to what actually matters. Love. Presence. Connection. Forgiveness. Sweetness in life. If this episode moves you, and you feel called to support his family during this unimaginable time, you can contribute here:

The Conway Show is officially heading back to where it belongs: nights! Starting Monday, February 17, Tim moves to 6–10PM — and the whole crew is fired up because that’s the vibe. Think classic Conway energy… a little “bi-winning” audio, and a whole lot of chaos. The show hits hard with headlines and heartbreak, including news involving former Dodger Terrance Gore (34) and Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek (48), plus an infuriating story out of L.A. where a thief steals an adaptive tricycle from a 9-year-old special needs boy. Michael Monks jumps on at 4:20 with a preview of his new show “Monks & Merrill,” also debuting on the 17th — and breaks down the streetlights tax proposal at City Hall that would impact City of L.A. property owners. Then it’s time to open the toy box: Dead Giveaway, Puppet Heist, and Dilly’s World Open return, followed by Jay Leno stories (including a very NoHo strip club mention) and a warm trip back to Burbank in the ’80s.
