This week, The Shiver Show crackles to life with telekinetic intensity in this 1950 sci-fi episode from the Suspense series, Report on the Barnhouse Effect. This episode is a daring dive into the paranormal from the first published short story by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.

Before Slaughterhouse-Five, before Cat’s Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. exploded onto the world stage with this mind-bending tale of mental might and military madness. Imagine an ordinary professor who discovers he can control objects with the force of his thoughts. Professor Barnhouse knows that his powers could heal the world, feed the hungry, and do good things. But in a Cold War world, addicted to arms and military response, will his government harness his power for good?

It’s suspense. It’s science fiction. It’s satire with a heartbeat. Co-hosts Mary and Greg talk about this well-paced thriller, their experiences with Vonnegut's writing, and the terrific production values in Report on the Barnhouse Effect. Join us and listen now.
