I would like to know why Hope has to talk so SOFTLY!!. Sometimes there is just her and one other person in a small room and she has to whisper. And now, it seems John is beginning to do the same thing. I have tried to move the volume up, but then it has to go down when other people talk. Just explain it to me please. I have watched this program for over forty years and think it is one of the best. Would have to stop if I can't hear it all. And NO, I do not need hearing aids!
