  Gunsmoke: Love of a Good Woman - When Vengeance Meets Devotion

  Aug 18, 202629 minS1

  A telegram from an old friend in Arizona warns Marshal Matt Dillon that Coney Thorne, freshly released from prison, is riding for Dodge City with murder on his mind. Years earlier, Dillon had arrested Thorne for a stage holdup he never believed the man committed - but the courts convicted him anyway, and five hard years behind bars have given Thorne plenty of time to nurse his grudge. When Thorne finally arrives, feverish and half out of his mind, it isn't a jail cell that awaits him but a sickbed - and the unexpected care of a woman with a gift for healing more than broken bodies. Episode Quotes "He's a good man, Marshal, but he suffered a lot being in prison the way he was... if they're given a chance, the right kind of a chance, they find their way back sometimes." - Abby Twilling "There were a lot of things I didn't like about being a lawman, and having to face a man who was out purely for revenge was one of them." - Marshal Matt Dillon Radio Archaeology is a Vancouver Island podcast celebrating the Golden Age of Radio through classic broadcasts including Gunsmoke , Dragnet and other timeless radio dramas while exploring the history of vintage broadcasting and storytelling.

  Dragnet: Big Poison - Cyanide in the Coffee Cups

  Aug 11, 202630 minS1

  Sergeants Joe Friday and Ben Romero catch a case that starts quietly: an elderly Los Angeles couple, Walter and Kate Apperson, hasn't been seen in four days. Their next-door neighbour, barber Clarence Stokely, insists the pair never travels without saying a word - and something about the untouched house, the porch light burning for three straight nights, and a half-empty bottle of cyanide in the basement cupboard tells Friday and Romero this is more than a missing persons report. The trail leads to the Appersons’ nephew, Frank “Buzz” Apperson - a college student with a stolen car charge pending and an alibi that unravels the moment his so-called camping buddies open their mouths. Forged cheques, a fingerprint match on the cyanide bottle, and a girlfriend who unknowingly backs up his lie all tighten the net, until a long, quiet drive across the city ends at a San Pedro pier and a confession that changes everything. Episode Quotes “Come on, Buzz. You know what happened. You’re gonna have to face it sooner or later.” - Sergeant Friday “Only one thing missing, Buzz. A reason. Why’d you do it?” - Sergeant Friday Radio Archaeology is a Vancouver Island podcast celebrating the Golden Age of Radio through classic broadcasts including Gunsmoke , Dragnet and other timeless radio dramas while exploring the history of vintage broadcasting and storytelling.

  Gunsmoke: Old Lady - A Mother's Cold Reckoning

  Aug 4, 202631 min

  Marshal Matt Dillon and his deputy Chester ride past the Henry homestead one quiet morning and get a rifle shot for their trouble. Ellen Henry has never taken kindly to visitors, not since her husband Ethan died five years back and left her to scrape by alone. Her son Luther should be the one holding the place together, but he is more often found drinking away his afternoons at the Long Branch than doing an honest day's work, and the homestead shows it: three lean-tos and not a green thing growing. When rancher Karnes reports cattle stolen off his spread two nights running, suspicion falls hard on Luther. Dillon rides out to press Ellen for answers and gets nothing but a cold shoulder, then finds Ellen herself riding back into Dodge at dusk with Luther's body slung across her saddle. She claims she found him dead. But when Dillon follows her trail into the night, he uncovers a far darker truth about a mother who buried her love for her son the same day she buried her husband. Episode Quotes "I’ve been dead five years, and your time’s running short too, Cass." - Ellen Henry "It takes courage to love, to love with all of you. When the love goes, there’s nothing left but hate." - Ellen Henry "You’d be taking the coward’s way out, Ellen, if you made me kill you." - Marshal Matt Dillon Radio Archaeology is a Vancouver Island podcast celebrating the Golden Age of Radio through classic broadcasts including Gunsmoke , Dragnet and other timeless radio dramas while exploring the history of vintage broadcasting and storytelling.

  Dragnet: Big Actor - The One Role He Couldn't Fake

  Jul 28, 202632 minS1

  Detective Sergeant Joe Friday and his partner Ben Romero catch a narcotics detail that hits close to home: a foggy Monday morning break-in at St. Christopher's Hospital pharmacy. A young intern is found bleeding on the floor, and $10,000 worth of morphine and cocaine has vanished without a trace. No prints, no witnesses, and a nun who insists on doing a little detective work of her own before the police even arrive. The break comes when a strung-out addict named Babe Kellogg turns up with two vials of the stolen morphine, hospital serial numbers still faintly visible underneath. Rattled and unsure what city he's even in, Kellogg finally gives up his source: a small-time movie actor named Leonard Castle, currently on a soundstage playing a police detective. Episode Quotes “I don't know much about it. I'm not an actor.” - Sergeant Friday “Never heard him read better. Funny thing, though - in front of the camera, he goes to the dogs.” - Director Theodore Milton Special Thanks to our sponsor: Tablet Pharmacy for supporting ThePulseCommunity.ca.

  Gunsmoke: The Old Gunfighter Nobody Believed

  Jul 21, 202627 minS1

  In Dodge City, an old man named Charlie spends his days parked outside the Dodge House, spinning yarns to anyone who'll sit still long enough to listen. His favourite subject is a legendary gunfighter called Rio Joe, a man Charlie swears he once stood shoulder to shoulder with. Most folks roll their eyes and walk on, but young Chester takes Charlie's side when a couple of toughs start pushing the old-timer around, and walks away with a black eye for his trouble. Not everyone in Dodge is willing to let a harmless old storyteller be. A local bully named Rasp decides to call Charlie's bluff once and for all, dragging him into the street in the middle of the night to make him prove he can back up his talk. Marshal Matt Dillon breaks it up, but a telegram from Washington arrives just a little too late to stop what happens next, and Dodge City learns the hard way that Charlie's stories may not have been tall tales after all. Episode Quotes "You're old enough to leave your gunfights behind you." - Marshal Matt Dillon "Don't let him put on those guns and march around till he gets himself killed." - Kitty Special Thanks to Our Sponsor Tablet Pharmacy for supporting ThePulseCommunity.ca.
