Examples of Unreliable Narrators in Radio include:

• Dickensian parody Bleak Expectations uses this in the framing story for laughs:

"We swore we would escape the school, or die in the attempt." "And what happened?" "We died in the attempt." "Oh, how awful!" "Of course not, you blundering idiot! How would I be talking to you now?"

• Doctor Who audio "And The Pirates" is told by Evelyn and the Doctor. Evelyn gets many of the facts wrong and is caught making up names on the spot, such as "John Johnson" and "Tom Thompson". She even initially says the Doctor died mere minutes after saying he'll be around to tell more of the story. Parts are told out of order, and all the sailors have the same voice because she can't impersonate them well. The Doctor's version of events is much more accurate but suspiciously full of characters complementing his unorthodox wardrobe.
