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.

A Scandal in Bohemia

A Scandal in Bohemia, based on a short story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, first aired in 1945. This classic episode features Basil Rathbone as the brilliant Sherlock Holmes, and Nigel Bruce as his loyal companion, Dr. Watson. Together, they bring to life the tale of Holmes' encounter with the one woman who outsmarted him, Irene Adler.
Holmes is tasked with retrieving a compromising photograph from the clever and resourceful Adler, who has had a recent romantic dalliance with the King of Bohemia. Rathbone's sharp and intellectual performance captures Holmes, while Bruce's warm and affable portrayal of Watson adds humanity to their dynamic partnership.
Greg and Mary talk about the performances of Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce, the radical notion of an 'intelligent woman,' and Holmes' potential sexuality. We hope you will agree that A Scandal in Bohemia is a timeless classic in the Sherlock Holmes canon.
