  • Some Repeats in Episodes

    The radio version of Gunsmoke is much better than the tv version which I watched with my folks as a kid. However there are several radio episodes in this podcast where the dialogue interrupts and is repetitious. These are mistakes. Sometimes it’s funny, but it’s also annoying. So...I’m switching to the many other Gunsmoke podcasts that are available.

    It’s a classic. I put myself into my great grandparents frame of mind after a long hard days work. The family gathered around the radio and everyone’s imagination all seeing their own character but listening to the same drama. Here’s to simpler times.
