I'd like to get feedback to the Audio production crew. Last night's "More Joy" episode had multiple periods where both I and my wife had to strain to understand what was being said. In some cases we had to rewind several times to finally get it. The issue is the audio mix; i.e., the level of background noise effects and music relative to speech. The speech needs to be out front! I.e. around 30 dB louder than anything else to assure intelligibility. Keep in mind there is a quite often a noise environment at the viewer's location that also degrades the signal to noise ratio for the listener (although this was not a factor during the episode). Thank you!
