  • 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.

  • Better Than the TV Series

    The radio version is so much better than the TV Gunsmoke in my opinion. The characters and the plots in the Radio version are more complex and realistic. Glad I started listening to it.
