The Floyd Decker Murder Case - Old Time Radio Crime

This week on The Shiver Show, co-hosts Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn head back to the mean streets of New York City with “The Floyd Decker Murder Case” from the hard-boiled radio series Broadway Is My Beat.Written by the sharp crime-writing team of Morten Fine and Larry Friedkin, this episode delivers everything fans love about the series: gritty dialogue, weary cops, broken dreams, and a murder that cuts close to the bone. At the centre of it all is Detective Danny Clover, played by Larry Thor, whose performance perfectly captures the exhaustion and quiet decency of a man who’s seen too much.The atmosphere is pure noir, helped along by the moody score from Alexander Courage, and the soundscape of David Light, a true legend of radio sound design. Mary and Greg unpack the writing, performances, and craftsmanship that make Broadway Is My Beat such an enduring classic. If you like your crime drama tough and soaked in melancholy, “The Floyd Decker Murder Case” is one you won’t want to miss.Thank you for listening!   If you like the show, please share us with your friends and family AND give us a review!
