Story behind the story
Texas Monthly has a new gift for “Dallas” fans: a two-part podcast from Max Marshall, the writer whose sweeping oral history of the series appears in the magazine’s October issue.
Marshall gives listeners the story behind his story, including how he came up with the idea for the article, how he was a non-fan who became seduced by the “Dallas” mystique, and how he has come to see the series as a kind of living thing that changes with the times.
You’ll hear moving and candid comments from Patrick Duffy, Linda Gray and Charlene Tilton. You’ll also hear from lots of other folks, including Leigh McCloskey, Roseanna Christiansen (!) and even yours truly (although I shudder to think that’s what I really sound like).
The podcast is available on Texas Monthly’s site. You can also download both parts from iTunes. Happy listening.

Hey, what an excellent podcast! I listened to both parts last night. I thought it was great listening to him talk about how he never watched Dallas prior and his first impressions of seeing the show for the first time in 2018. It was great listening to the cast speak with him. I especially enjoyed hearing from Roseanna Christiansen because I don’t remember hearing from her before and her character is unique to the show. Chris it was super great hearing you talk and I really liked what you had to say! Max Marshall is very wise to reach out to you.
You’re too kind. Thanks Michael. Max is a cool guy. So glad he tackled this project.
