Better Every Season

What did you love best about Powder River - Season Five: A Radio Dramatization?

The Powder River series starts off rough: bad acting, amateur writing, production mishaps. However, character development was strong in the first season. Each season Powder River gets better and better. Even though season 5 is the darkest so far (violence, language) it is the best. After season 1 almost every episode is worth hearing. The acting has gotten so much better it almost doesn't feel like the same show. There are some production errors here and there, but this is one of my favorite shows.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Powder River - Season Five: A Radio Dramatization?

Episodes 1-3 are a great way to kick off season 5.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Most of the actors are great.

Outstanding production with great voice actors.

If you could sum up Powder River - Season Five: A Radio Dramatization in three words, what would they be?

Great western adventure

What did you like best about this story?

Character interactions makes you feel at home with your best friends and favorite relatives.

What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

They make you forget it is just a story.

If you could take any character from Powder River - Season Five: A Radio Dramatization out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Probably Doc. He'd be a riot in some of the bars I frequent, especially Hanson's Bar in New Rockford, ND.

Any additional comments?

Can't wait for season, six, seven, eight, through season ninety-nine!

Great series

This is a very exciting and well written book and great listen. Would recommend this book.

Disappointing

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

My entire family has listened to every episode of Powder River. We all loved each one, until we listened to this one. We were very disappointed with all the "Bad" language. We were shocked and saddened at all the curse words. These were suppose to be clean family shows. I hope that season six will be cleaner :-)

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

It was good

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration was real good

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Anticipation. Can't wait or the next one.
