Subject:  Shameless Self Promotion

Fans of Westerns and Gunsmoke should be sure to tune in to Radio Once More
on Wednesday the 29th at 9:00pm ET.  I'll be tracing the steps through OTR
leading towards radio's first major adult Western.  We'll be taking a
special look at the work of John Meston, Norman MacDonnel, and William
Robson, and how their work eventually led to Gunsmoke.  Just go to
[removed] and click to listen.
