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.

This week on The Shiver Show, we bring you an X Minus One sci-fi adventure: Skulking Permit. If you like your science fiction with a dollop of satire, you’re in the right place.
The episode follows Earth colony, New Delaware, as they prepare for an inspection by The Imperial Inspector. New Delaware has been on its own for over 200 years, and desperately wants to impress the inspector, but can they 'fit in' with Earth culture after so much time?
Mary and Greg talk about the satirical writing, the terrific ensemble cast that X Minus One brought to every episode, and the strong production values.
Tune in for a wonderfully eccentric trip through the future’s most exasperating challenge, and ask yourself, what would you do to pass the inspection?
