Yle Areena
Finland's public-service TV, radio and podcast catalogue, free.
MediaFreeIntermediateAdvancedB1–C2
Partly geo-blocked — A large part of the video catalogue is Finland-only. Much of the audio is not, so the podcasts stay usable abroad.
What it actually is
The full Yle catalogue — drama, documentaries, children's programming, radio and hundreds of podcasts — much of it subtitled in Finnish, which is the most effective bridge into spoken Finnish once you have basic grammar. Children's series and the selkosuomi content make usable entry points at B1. A large part of the video catalogue is geo-blocked outside Finland, though much of the audio is not.
