Gunsmoke...the show that single-handedly created the "adult western" series drama genre...the show that moved the genre from the kid-centered "Lone Ranger" into darker, more mature themes... the show that ran for 10 years and nearly 500 radio episodes, and 20 years and 600 more chapters on television. A handful of Gunsmoke audio recordings have been lost for seven decades, but Project Audion now recreates one of those missing episodes - in fact, Gunsmoke's second-ever show from May 3, 1952. Listen to our-country cast bring back Marshall Matt Dillon, Doc Adams, Chester and others in our live Zoom recording of the dark drama titled "Ben Thompson."
