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.

There Will Come Soft Rains - Old Time Radio Sci-Fi
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Step into a strangely familiar and deeply unsettling future in, 'There Will Come Soft Rains,' a 1950 episode of Dimension X, adapted from the haunting story by Ray Bradbury. The house cooks the meals, cleans the rooms, sets the table, and announces the time. Everything is automated and running perfectly… but where is everyone?
Short, atmospheric and surprisingly profound, this bitter-sweet tale asks some big questions about technology, humanity—and the price of convenience. Join Mary and Greg after the show for a full debrief on this sci-fi journey from the golden era radio.
