A Logic Named Joe - Old Time Radio Sci-Fi

Long before Silicon Valley, TikTok, or the age of algorithms, a pulp sci-fi writer named Murray Leinster imagined a world where machines got a little too smart. In 1947 he wrote A Logic Named Joe—a story so ahead of its time it feels uncanny even now. Just a few years later, the tale came crackling to life on the radio anthology Dimension X in 1950.

In this episode of The Shiver Show, Mary and Greg dive into this eerie slice of old-time radio, talking about the sharp performances by Joseph Julian and Roger DeKoven, the inventive sound design, and yes—that delightfully kooky theme music. But at its heart, the story raises a chilling question that never gets old: what happens when our inventions outthink—and maybe outmaneuver—us?
