Gunsmoke rode the airwaves from 1952 to 1961, one of old-time radio's grittiest and most acclaimed westerns, praised for scripts that treated frontier violence with unusual realism. William Conrad brought a weary, morally serious voice to Marshal Matt Dillon of Dodge City, backed by Parley Baer as deputy Chester Proudfoot, Howard McNear as Doc Adams, and Georgia Ellis as saloon keeper Kitty Russell — the same core cast throughout the show's entire nine-year run. This collection gathers 487 episodes of frontier justice, dusty gunfights, and hard-bitten drama that helped redefine what a radio western could be.
