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.

Sunset Boulevard - Old Time Radio Suspense

This week on the Shiver Show, we are doing a deep dive into the classic noir radio drama, Sunset Boulevard. This Lux Radio Theater production is based on the film, which won several academy awards, and ranks as one of the greatest films of all time. The radio production features most of the original cast, including Gloria Swanson and William Holden, and a suspenseful adaptation of the original 'killer' script by Billy Wilder, Charles Brackett and D. M. Marshman Jr.
Join Greg and Mary as they talk about the wonderful story, Greg's desert lunch with William Holden, and cleft chins. It's sad, it's a bit seedy - it's terrific.
