Gunsmoke | 1958 | OTRWesterns.com

Welcome to the iconic world of “Gunsmoke,” the groundbreaking radio drama from 1958 that defined the Western genre for generations. Step back in time to the rugged landscape of Dodge City, Kansas, where Marshal Matt Dillon and his loyal deputies uphold law and order in the untamed frontier. Set against the backdrop of the American West, “Gunsmoke” brings to life the challenges and triumphs of frontier life, where justice is often hard-won and morality is tested at every turn. Marshal Dillon, portrayed with gritty realism by William Conrad, navigates the complexities of his role with integrity and determination, facing down outlaws, cattle rustlers, and other threats to the peace of Dodge City.
