This week on The Shiver Show, co-hosts Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn bring you The Voice on the Wire, a delicious tale of psychological suspense.

At the centre of the story is Geraldine Reeves, played by Lesley Woods, a lonely widow living on a narrow island near the ruins of her former home. Years earlier, her husband—a composer—died in a tragic fire that destroyed the house.

Night after night she hears something impossible: her late husband’s unfinished musical composition drifting through the darkness, accompanied by the eerie howling of a dog. No one is there—or so it seems. Then one evening the telephone rings, and a mysterious voice calmly informs Geraldine she has just four hours to live.

Written by Robert Sloane, the story plays almost like a radio version of Clue—everyone seems suspicious, everyone denies everything, and someone is clearly lying. Is it supernatural revenge… or something far more calculated?

Tune in and decide for yourself—The Voice on the Wire delivers a double helping of suspense.

Join us this week on The Shiver Show, as Mary and Greg enter a time warp with “Time and Time Again.” This unforgettable episode of X Minus One, aired on the NBC Radio Network (1956), and is based on the 1947 novel by H. Beam Piper.

The story follows Allan Hartley, a 43-year-old soldier wounded during the Siege of Buffalo in World War III. It’s 1975. The world is fractured. Then—without warning—Allan wakes up in 1945… inside his own 13-year-old body.

Armed with knowledge of Hiroshima, the course of World War II, Allan faces an extraordinary moral puzzle: Can he change the future? Should he? Or does time resist interference?

Author H. Beam Piper was fascinated by time distortion and alternate histories, themes he explored across numerous short stories and novels. Mary and Greg explore the episode’s haunting central question: If you could return to your 13-year-old self for one hour… what would you do?

This week on The Shiver Show, we turn up the temperature with “August Heat,” a 1945 episode of Suspense. Adapted from the 1910 short story by W. F. Harvey, this deliciously eerie tale is understated and unsettling.

The episode stars Barry Kroeger as the artist, James Clarence Withencroft, whose automatic sketching leads him wander the streets of London until he meets a mason who has just finished a headstone. The heat presses in. Their fates are tied.

With an immersive soundscape and a lush, haunting score the oppressive atmosphere unfolds. August Heat is a slow burn tale that will have you fanning yourself in fright.
