Gunsmoke
Entertainment RadioIn the late 1940s, CBS chairman William S.

- Crazy commentary added to each podcast
10 minutes of each broadcast includes the same commentary at the beginning and end. Waste of my time. Go to OTR instead.

United States8 months ago - New 5-minute commentary about old radio shows
Why this new “commentary” about the old radio shows played before ea h Gunsmoke episode? Frankly, I’d rather listen to a commercial. Fortunately there are several Gunsmoke podcasts available, so I’m removing this one and subscribing to one without the dribble.

Audible5yorickUnited Statesa year ago - The New Cover Of the Southwest, Not Midwest
As we know, Gunsmoke takes place in Dodge City, KS. I’m not sure why the new cover for the show depicts the southwest (Arizona, New Mexico) and not the prairies in the Midwest. Many radio episodes talk about life in the prairie: the heat, the blizzards, the sod houses and of course the cattle drive which covered the prairies. These activities did not typically take place in the southwest. Please find a more appropriate depiction of Gunsmoke for the cover. Thank-you.
