## Resource

Gunsmoke presents “Wagon Show,” episode 372 of the classic CBS radio series, originally broadcast on May 24, 1959. Written by Tom Hanley and produced and directed by Norman Macdonnell, it stars William Conrad as Marshal Matt Dillon. A traveling wagon circus rolls into Dodge City with an elephant and plenty of excitement, but reports of violence at its last stop put Dillon on guard. As proprietor Maggie Bannock presses ahead with the show, Dillon investigates the trouble following the troupe. Gunsmoke presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
