About this listen

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.

  • Journey to the Centre of the Earth - Old Time Radio Adventure
    Jul 11 2025

    Put on your head lamp and get ready to go deep in this old time radio adventure, Journey to the Centre of the Earth. This is an adaptation of Jules Verne's 1864 science fiction adventure, which blended geology and fantasy, and remains a classic of 19th-century literature.

    This radio drama first aired in 1977 on the General Mills Adventure Radio Show, and features Tom Bosley as the unflappable narrator, Ian Martin as Professor Lindenbrock, Don Scardeno as Axel and Jada Rowland as Vicky.

    Join Mary and Greg and they discuss how this old time radio drama differs from the 1959 film of the same name and is, in many ways, superior.

  • To Have and Have Not - Old Time Radio Intrigue
    Jul 5 2025

    This week on The Shiver Show, we bring you romance and wartime intrigue with this 1946 Lux Radio Theater adaptation of To Have and Have Not, starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. This old time radio classic reimagines Ernest Hemingway’s hard-edged novella with crackling dialogue, a new setting, and a romance between two strangers with nothing to lose.

    This production features Humphrey Bogart reprising his iconic role as Harry Morgan, a gruff boat captain, and Lauren Bacall as Marie “Slim” Browning. Sparks fly between Bogie and Bacall, and the live audience loves it.

    Mary and Greg talk about how Hemingway’s original novella got made into a film, and why the setting of the film and radio drama was changed from Depression-era Cuba to war-time Martinique. So pour yourself a Ti' Punch, dim the lights, and let The Shiver Show take you to a time when romance was as sideways glance.
