I watch the Puoli
seitsemän programme
on YLE TV1, because the host,
Marja Hintikka, is really hot.
KYÖSTI PÖYSTI, PASILA
Kyösti Pöysti is a popular
character in Pasila,
the animated comedy
series on YLE TV2.
I am a radio fanatic. I get
caught up in talk shows where
the participants have the courage to
disagree with each other, or even
argue. My favourite programme is
Eftersnack on YLE Radio Vega.
