from VintageRadioShows.com · host 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.
