Old Time Radio Western — Gunsmoke: "Billy the Kid" (1952) | Full Episode

from VintageRadioShows.com Hosted by VintageRadioShows

It's the episode that launched a legend. On April 26, 1952, CBS Radio premiered Gunsmoke — and the first thing Marshal Matt Dillon faced was murder, a grieving widow who used to love him, and a dangerous young man going by the name of Billy. This is the series premiere: raw, morally serious, and gripping from the first shot fired in Dodge City. 🎧 Hundreds more classic radio shows free at https://www.vintageradioshows.com 📱 Listen anywhere with the Vintage Radio app for iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vintage-radio/id455577974
