ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Gunsmoke "Ben Thompson" live recreation of lost adult western classic audio drama from 1952

Gunsmoke! The show that created the "adult western" drama genre...the show that moved westerns 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 this live Zoom recording of the dark drama titled "Ben Thompson."

"Jimmy Durante Comedy Caravan" tribute recreation of the 1940s radio variety show

You know Jimmy Durante, even if you think you don't -- the fellow was so famous for so many decades that just a caricature of his face was once enough to elicit a smile. His outsized "Schnozz" matched the outsized personality from the 1920s through the 1970s. Even today his catchphrases and songs e…
