Re-Imagined Radio celebrates Gunsmoke, a defining radio drama in the Western genre, with a compilation of two episodes, "Billy The Kid" and "Young Man with a Gun." Two different young men aspire to be gunslingers. Both meet US Marshall Matt Dillon (William Conrad) in Dodge City, Kansas, late 1870s. One changes his dream. The other lives it, and dies by it as "Billy The Kid."

Two gunslingers. Two classic stories. One new adventure.
