Antero Mertaranta jumps into a new position – “Like winning the lottery”
The legendary voice of the Lions’ World Championship commentator Antero Mertaranta is making a new foray into the podcast world.
Mertaranta, 69, will start a new sports-focused podcast as the host, according to Warner Bros. The other voice of the podcast named Mertaranta & Saariluoma will be the well-known figure from the entertainment world, Jaakko Saariluoma.
– I have long contemplated the podcast world and how to approach it. Getting “Jaska” as a work partner is like winning the lottery: he is of course a professional in improvisation, but improvisation has always been an essential part of my own work, Mertaranta says in a statement.
This season, Mertaranta, who is commentating the League for MTV, and Saariluoma’s podcast will be released fundamentally once a week.
Mertaranta commented on the Lions’ World Championship games from 1995 until last spring.
