Have you ever flipped through an old magazine and wondered what on earth was going on back then and why everything seemed so absurd? OLIPA KERRAN OTSIKKO is a podcast where Shirly Karvinen and Julianna Jokela dive into the scandalous headlines, bizarre phenomena and forgotten stories of past decades exactly as they were experienced at the time. Expect nostalgia, iconic moments, strange trends and the kind of embarrassing memories that maybe should have stayed buried forever.
The podcast looks back on a time when “everything was better” or at least a whole lot wilder. Guided by Shirly and Julianna, old headlines come back to life in a way that makes audiences laugh, relate and occasionally wonder how any of it was ever considered normal.
Earlier this year, the duo toured across Finland on their very first live podcast tour, performing to sold out venues night after night. The live show combines nostalgia, spontaneous humor and unexpected moments in a way that pulls the audience in from the very beginning. On stage, Shirly and Julianna do what they do best: dive headfirst into the headlines and turn stories from past decades into a hilarious shared trip down memory lane.
