Hanna Kinnunen44, says Ilta-Sanom that he will quit his day job with Aito Iskelmä, because he wants to stop what he is doing. In the future, he will be heard on the channel only on Fridays.
The host says that he realized in the fall that the pace of work needs to be slowed down. He remembers the time when, at its worst, it led to severe exhaustion while doing the morning program. Kinnunen says that the exhaustion started with sleep deprivation, which led to arrhythmias.
– One morning, in the middle of the broadcast, my hands suddenly went numb, and I thought there was something wrong with the cerebral circulation. It scared me terribly, but I didn’t say anything, he recalls to the magazine.
A fellow presenter Kimmo Vehviläinen and the guests of the program asked how Kinnusen was, but he assured that he was fine. In the end, he went to the hospital, where, among other things, he was taken MRIs.

The presenter was prepared to hear bad news, but the doctor told her on the phone that she was fine. However, the doctor stressed that Kinnunen would not be healthy for long if he continued at the same pace. The doctor talked about bad exhaustion, which stopped the host.
– When he said that, I started to cry. It was the first time that a health professional said I was a total nut, he says.
In addition to his radio broadcasts, Kinnunen is known for, among other things Encrypted Lives from the program. Kinnunen celebrated his 20-year journey in the media and entertainment industry in 2023. At that time, in an interview with Iltalehti, he shared an important tip for those looking to enter the media and entertainment industry.
– This is a great field where you can experience many and interesting adventures professionally. But think about the reasons why you want this. It is the best motive to want to enter this field because you want to be able to do these things, the presenter stated.
– You shouldn’t want to be in any field in order to become a celebrity – that’s not enough, he emphasized.
