Our Wednesday Western106 tweet-along featured two tales – the Gunsmoke episode “Doc Holliday” and “Aces and Eights” from the Frontier Gentleman series. Unlike our two previous shows, these featured narration as well as dialogue. The listeners had mixed feelings about this.
I like how this story has more narration, makes it easier to follow #western106

I liked the music in this one a lot, but the narration took away from the action a bit #western106 — Lindsey M (@lmccuist0) February 11, 2016
I thought it seemed like a cop-out. They could have made the stories work with sound and dialogue, but it’s easier to just say what’s going on. Strangely, I never really mind voice-overs in movies, but in radio shows it bugs me. Still, the shows went over well.
Westerns: the original soap opera’s. I’m loving this drama and wild justice #western106
