Lestadiolaisfeministejä etsimässä

[AldenG]

I stumbled across this 7:07 interview from A-Studio.



A high school student goes looking for a feminist or two at the Laestadians' summer convocation, which sounds like the premise for a short-lived TV sitcom but actually turns into a serious interview. I found this by a roundabout route originally inspired by a different kind of in-search-of thread starting up on FF just now. I had some pretty good friends at one time who happened to be Laestadians.

The sound is exceptionally good for field conditions. It's a good, crisp example of people speaking everyday language with neither exaggerated clarity nor excessive mumbling, muttering, elision, syllable-skipping, etc. Typical radio interview speech, I suppose, and untypical for TV. If you're outside Finland and looking to calibrate your ear, this is a good clip to include.

Then there is this one on growing up trans in a Laestadian family.



It's easy and common to make jokes about the subject but it's deadly serious for people who're born this way.
Only the psychologically strong and resilient survive the experience. Derision is the last thing they deserve.

Good finds those! Not maybe the easiest vocabulary, but clear speech indeed.

Good shares, and on the second video, I totally agree with you. Cheers.
