Conqueror's Isle - Sci-Fi from the Golden Era of Radio

This week on **The Shiver Show**, Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn fly straight into danger with ***Conqueror's Isle*,** a thrilling 1949 episode from the legendary **Escape** series. Based on a story by prolific fantasy and science fiction author **Nelson Bond**, and adapted for radio by **John Meston**, this adventure blends survival, fantasy, and science fiction. The cast features **David Ellis** in the lead, supported by **Bill Johnstone**, **Theodore Von Eltz**, **Sam Edwards**, and **Richard Benedict**. Although David Ellis carries the lead, listeners will recognise the unmistakable voice of **William Conrad**, who delivers Escape's iconic opening invitation and later appears as **Frater Dorden**.  Mary and Greg discuss the episode's themes, vivid sound effects, taut pacing, and a wonderfully imaginative premise. ***Conqueror's Isle*** is pure dystopian escapism.
