  1. As usual, for the at-home correspondents: “Bad (and in this case, including terrible) sound makes good video look bad.” Even if you have and use a body microphone you have to know how to select it to avoid the bad sound from the default built-in microphone on the video recording device.

  11. Good report and discussion, thanks but terrible sound from the men. But, please instruct your location interviewees to use and select the microphone on corded or cordless earphones instead of the built-in mikes on laptops, desktops, tablets, and phones that, combined with bad room acoustics, produces poor audio.

  14. (Four examples:) "Bad sound makes good video look bad.” WGBH remote television production value sound is terrible. Isn’t there an engineer left to give direction/advice? At a minimum, it’s simple. Have them use the microphone on corded or cordless earphones and select it as the source input on the video device.

  20. Biden’s baggage is a feather compared to 45’s tons. Poker players: Biden lied b/c “hooding “/blinked when he said “no“ & on other words. Former prosecutor Michael J. Stern’s essay re Reade: She is lying, too. What probably happened: Biden groped & kissed but he did not penetrate.

  22. I hope he will get the producer (or director) to prepare the location interviewees for better audio than using the built-in mikes that are vulnerable to bad room acoustics. “Bad sound makes good video look bad.”

  23. The title of this post is wrong. It should be comedy writers weigh in, not comedians.

  24. Another WGBH location sound recording failure. All four interviewees made zero effort to avoid their bad room acoustics sound. The covid-19 pandemic has caused an epidemic of bad sound for video from isolation production using the built-in mikes on phones, iPads, laptops, & desktops that is made worse by bad room acoustics. Better sound is easy. Use and select the microphone that is on corded or cordless earphones that come with Apple iPhones or available on Android phones. Select the mike input on laptops and desktop computers. “Bad sound makes good video look bad.“
