The Shiver Show
The Shiver Show brings you the most spine-tingling tales of crime, horror, and sci-fi from the golden age of radio. This was an era before TV, before screens—when families huddled around the radio, hearts pounding, as stories of suspense crackled through the airwaves.
From the 1930s to the 1960s, these Old Time Radio dramas captured imaginations like nothing else—and you can hear them now. Carefully curated and lovingly remastered to cut the static but keep the chills, The Shiver Show brings you the very best of that haunting era.
Co-hosts Mary Labrie and Greg Flynn prise open the coffin lid on what made these vintage dramas so unforgettable: eerie scores, masterful voice acting, immersive soundscapes, and themes that still resonate today.
Press play, close your eyes, and get ready to shiver.

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.”
