Gunsmoke "Incident At Indian Ford" (3-15-59) - Boxcars711 Old Time Radio Pod

Gunsmoke - Some listeners (such as old time radio expert John Dunning) have argued that the radio version of Gunsmoke was far more realistic than the television program. Episodes were aimed at adults, and featured some of the most explicit content of the day: there were violent crimes and scalpings, massacres and opium addicts. Miss Kitty's occupation as a prostitute was made far more obvious on the radio version than on television. Many episodes ended on a down-note, and villains often got away with their crimes.THIS EPISODE:March 15, 1959. CBS network. "Incident At Indian Ford". Commercials deleted.
