Nuntii Latini

Many years ago, somebody told me that Yle (the Finnish Broadcasting Company) were broadcasting weekly in Latin. However, in those pre-Internet days I had no idea how to find a way to listen to it.
These days things are much easier.
Yle have created a webpage containing podcasts, so that we can all easily get our weekly five minutes of Latin.
I must say, however, that the presenters sound very Finnish. I also find it interesting that they pronounce ‘c’ as /k/ before front vowels while at the same time pronouncing ‘ae’ as /ɛ/ — I would have thought that would be a somewhat unlikely combination.
