  • Must disagree about TV Paladin

    I thought Richard Boone’s performance in the TV version was wonderful, and he gave me many happy hours (DVD version of entire series.) His character was deep and had humor and grace.

  • During the pandemic, for some reason I started to watch and listen to television and radio shows from the fifties. I found HGWT as both a TV and audio presentation at the same time and just fell in love with Paladin stories. If you like westerns, they're even better.

  • Well done

    I like the podcast a lot but the sound could be better. Radio version is way better than the tv version ever was. TV actor Paladin was goofy totally wrong for the part.

  • Audio is horrible

    I like the podcast a lot but the sound is so bad on some I can’t listen to them. Can’t understand a word they’re saying. Audio needs to be improved
