The Shiver Show
The Shiver Show brings you the most spine-tingling tales of crime, horror, and sci-fi from the golden age of radio. This was an era before TV, before screens—when families huddled around the radio, hearts pounding, as stories of suspense crackled through the airwaves.
From the 1930s to the 1960s, these Old Time Radio dramas captured imaginations like nothing else—and you can hear them now. Carefully curated and lovingly remastered to cut the static but keep the chills, The Shiver Show brings you the very best of that haunting era.
Co-hosts Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn prise open the coffin lid on what made these vintage dramas so unforgettable: eerie scores, masterful voice acting, immersive soundscapes, and themes that still resonate today.
Press play, close your eyes, and get ready to shiver.

The Martian Chronicles - Old Time Radio Science Fiction
This week on The Shiver Show, we're taking you on a thrilling journey to Mars and back with The Martian Chronicles—an unforgettable episode from the Dimension X radio series (1950)! This series of tales by Ray Bradbury chronicles humanity's first attempts to colonize the Red Planet. The stories are told from the human and the Martian perspective, making this story unique for its time. Originally aired during the height of the Cold War, The Martian Chronicles continues to ask profound philosophical questions about human nature and our place in the universe.
Mary and Greg talk about Ray Bradbury's fascinating history as a writer, how tall Martians might be, and whether a pop-up hot dog stand would succeed on Mars.
