Dawson's Den | Radio Theater, Western Swing & Tall Tales

Let's get ready for Christmas! Find a gift for your horse, listen to a chilling tale of the trail and get your "no!" questions answered in this episode! 

Thanksgiving settles over the Den with humor up front and a quiet truth waiting at the end. Will fields holiday questions in “The Answer Is No!!”, including one listener who wondered if they could cook their turkey with their Chihuahua inside it. (They could not.) Our sponsor, German for Cowboys, rides in with a message that’s as crooked and charming now as it was back in 2022.

But the heart of the episode comes later, when Will shares a true story the Thanksgiving the game warden tracked down a poacher who wasn’t trying to get away with anything, just trying to feed his family. It’s a story about the kind of choice a warden has to make alone, out where the wind carries everything but judgment. Sometimes grace does more good than a citation ever could.

A Thanksgiving special with humor on the front porch and a honest moment by the stove.

"The Answer is No!" and a visit to a haunted hotel highlights this holiday episode.  

Will tackles a strange sponsor, a stranger book, and the strangest questions yet from the “Answer is No!” mailbag. Maybe that’s why this episode caught fire. Maybe folks just like watching a cowboy try to keep a straight face.
