Some of the most beloved stories have been told both on the stage and on the screen. But what goes into bringing all story elements to life on those respective platforms? In the newest episode of Oregon Grapevine, host Barbara Dellenback speaks with Cynthia Whitcomb, an award-winning playwright and screenplay writer, about this very question. Cynthia was recognized in 2022 by Literary Arts with the Literary Legacy Award for her "outstanding, long-term support of Oregon’s literary community."

Last December, KLCC's Rachael McDonald reported that the Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) had put out a call to local fishermen: If an octopus latches itself to your crab pots, we want to study it! Now, thanks to the crew on the fishing vessel Timmy Boy, the HMSC welcomes a 20 pound Giant Pacific Octopus. Rachael checked in with Jaimie Hart at the center to see what's in store for the tentacled creature.
