This Gun in My Hand: Subject Index

I’m not going to include every subject discussed in This Gun in My Hand, but I thought it would be helpful or interesting to make a list of the targets of parody in some episodes. Below you’ll find a subject index, character appearance index (episodes in which these characters spoke), character mentioned index (episodes in which these characters were spoken of by others), locations of episodes, ad index, fake radio show index, and a link to the music index. I’m leaving some topics out of the subject index because they’re in almost every episode -- things like radio drama tropes, vigilanteism and the gun lobby. Episode numbers are listed after each entry in the index. Last updated April 7, 2024, up to and including episode 101.
