Jari Aula ended his career at Yle, which lasted more than five decades.

Jari Aula retired. OUTI LAKE

Yle radio announcer Jari Aula ended his career today.

Aula, who is retiring, hosted his last broadcast on Yle Radio 1 on Saturday, January 31. The last words were heard Music chamberin the program.

– Now this shift of mine is starting to make its decision. Years have passed, decades and I have had the great honor of being in your company for many happy moments. Thank you for listening to me. Radio is a very intimate medium, Aula started in the live broadcast.

In his closing remarks, Aula said that he had learned a lot from his work over the years. He started working on Yle’s radio channels in the early 80s.

– Radio, so in this case audio, is important. I have learned self-control, judgment, and patience at work. The current political issues of science, art, history and culture have become familiar, as well as various situations. Here, it has been possible to be on the nerves of the times, he described.

He said that he also learned about music, but even that has not been as important as the lessons of good expression, authenticity and living in a situation have been. Aula described that she had found her “inner peace” over the years.

– The most important thing would be to dare to be yourself and not try to be something else.

As the last song, Aula chose Jonas Kaufman’s Con te partiro.

According to Yle, Aula is the last radio voice to work as an announcer. According to Aula, his voice will still be heard in some interludes on Yle’s radio channels.
