news.stv.tvI don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute feeds in this moment, but based on recent reporting, Andy Kershaw publicly discussed a cancer diagnosis affecting his spine and mobility in early 2026, and several outlets covered his treatment and outlook at that time. Some articles also noted that he had been unable to publish new episodes of his podcast for several months while undergoing treatment. If you’d like, I can pull together a concise timeline and link you to multiple sources for verification.
