The Andrew Jenkins Case - Golden Era Radio Crime

This week on The Shiver Show, Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn return to the streets of New York with “The Andrew Jenkins Case” (1949), a taut episode from Broadway Is My Beat, originally broadcast on CBS.Anthony Ross stars as Detective Danny Clover, offering a more mature, seasoned take on the character—world-weary, reflective, and quietly authoritative. It’s a fine performance that suits the darker emotional undercurrent of the case. Ross is joined by Charlotte Holland as Grace and Jean Carson as Sally, whose flirty exchanges with Danny add warmth and levity in this bleak world.Mary talks about the superb sound design in this episode - the rich ambient sound of the auctioneer’s room, or the visceral fight scene. Greg does the numbers on the 2025 value of the stash and the pawned watch! As Detective Danny Clover reminds us, “It’s Broadway – it’s a merry-go-round, where you can’t tell if the guy in front of you is thinking about a milkshake or murder.” Listen now!Thank you for listening!   If you like the show, please share us with your friends and family AND give us a review!
