Our thanks to our mysterious listener Jessica for sending us back to our Listener Library for “Never Pester Chester” from Gunsmoke! This episode features Marshal Dillon on the trail of two cruel men who made the mistake of attacking his friend Chester. But given Dillon’s anger and sense of responsibility, it isn’t clear if he intends to deliver justice or revenge! How will he track these men down? Will his feelings overpower his obligations as a lawman? Would our discussion afterward be better if we had beers and steak? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!
