Thursday Night at the Radio!

Three reports: Edward R. Murrow on Buchenwald (15 April 1945); Richard Dimbleby from Belsen (19 April 1945); and Sigrid Schultz in Ravensbruck (27 April 1945).

And, for a complete change of pace, Gunsmoke. This one's called "Gonif" (24 April 1953). Every time I listen to one of these I think what a well-written, well-produced and well-acted show it was. The sound effects are great. Listen to the dog barking at the beginning, and the guy tunelessly whistling "Home on the Range" in the background while Matt and Kitty are talking in the saloon.
