The mic drop:<p>Nuntii Latini finiti<p>Nuntii Latini Radiophoniae Finnicae Generalis, qui inde ab anno millesimo nongentesimo undenonagesimo (1989) iam triginta annos septimanatim emittuntur, post hanc emissionem finiuntur et decreto moderatorum radiophonicorum post ferias aestivas non continuabuntur. Auscultatoribus, quorum grex ad omnes orbis continentes amplificatus est, propter fidelitatem gratias quam maximas agimus et valedicimus.<p>A translation (not idiomatic English, staying closer to the original, but better than Google...):<p>Latin News Terminated<p>Finnish General Radio&#x27;s &quot;Latin News&quot;, which have been transmitted from here since 1989 already 30 years weekly, will be terminated after this transmission and, by decree of the radio directors, not continued after the summer break. To the listeners, whose flock has grown to all continents of the earth, on account of their faithfulness we give the greatest possible thanks, and bid farewell.

Apparently some students at Western Washington University have started an analogous project:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nuntiilatini.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;nuntiilatini.com&#x2F;</a><p>It&#x27;s interesting to compare the accent of native English speakers and native Finnish speakers in Latin. :-)

Wow, I studied latin for many years, and this would have definitely been interesting to know then.

Maybe they can do some sort of podcast, change the format a bit? Latin students would love this, worldwide!

Sort of related: India&#x27;s public broadcaster has had a daily 5 minute bulletin in Sanskrit for as long as I can remember. A weekly 30 minute news show too started a few years ago.

Oh man, I would&#x27;ve watched the HELL out of this show in highschool. Pity, I didn&#x27;t even know it existed! I had a beloved Latin teacher back then (regrettably, he passed years ago) who would&#x27;ve been all over this too.
