Yes, all I know about those various ways to get it, is what the lady said.
And I am watching Montana PBS, and if I got the DVD or Blu-Ray, I wonder if
it would have the audio description, I am doubtful.

Why can't I free your doubtful mind, and melt your cold, cold heart.
So sang that masterful wordsmith of sorrow, Hank Williams from Montgomery.

The only thing I really want is those names of who is talking. There is too
much visual content to describe it, and still follow the Peter Coyote
narration.
Just drop in their names when they begin to speak, and I am good to go.
Charlie McCoy, Bill C. Malone, Marty Stuart, Bobby Braddock, Billy Sherrill.
And so on. And so on.
Karen and I have been watching and with the DirecTV remote we can pause and
rewind live action. We use it often enough.

Amazon Prime does have quite a bit that is audio described. But there is a
lot of content they have I am not interested in. And there is Murphy's Law,
if I want the description, it is sorry Charlie the Tuna fish, that I hear in
my little old head.

I didn't know there is an audio described version. From what I understand,
audio description is scarce on Amazon Prime.  This is one of the best
documentaries I've seen, and even at that, they have to leave so much out!
I'd love to see it audio described.  I looked online and I could find it
streamed, but not audio described.  Maybe that is done with the audio
description app, which I don't know how to turn on.  Joy

Hey folks,
Only 2 more episodes remaining on this 8 nights of wonderful storytelling in
the documentary Country Music by Ken Burns and Dayton something.

I have seen numerous discussions in the blindness community, people wishing
to find the audio described version. It is true, so often there are these
little comments made by a lot of partipants, and some of them major stars or
music historians, and I want to know who they are.
We have been watching on Montana PBS. If there is audio description, I am not
with information of how to access it.

One post I read had a piece of information, perhaps someone can use. I paste
it below.
Thanks.
Rik

(snip.) "...  We did install the pbs video app  on our se phones and our ipad
with being able to enjoy hearing the audio description, which was really
great.It was really great being able to hear who was talking and about the
pictures that were shown. We recorded all 8 parts of the documentary from the
ipad with being able to record it with the audio description. There's
something I forgot to mention the other day, with the pbs channel by way of
antena, and our pbs chahnnel through cox cable, the channel didn't have the
audio description, but with the app it did. We don't have amazon prime, but I
was just curious since you mentioned you were going to check to see if it
was... " (snip.)
