00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.000
Welcome to Mika Kesulkkenen: The Legend of Tallinn.

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:10.000
Yes, that is the title. No, I am not sure who officially approved the legend status.

00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:15.000
Probably nobody. And that is exactly why it sounds better.

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.000
My name is Mika Kešulkkenen, and this is my personal podcast from Tallinn.

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:27.000
This show is not a corporate podcast. It is not a motivational guru show.

00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:35.000
This is a podcast about stories, city life, internet culture, strange observations, identity, humor, and the small dramatic mythology of everyday life.

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:43.000
Because every person has a public version, a private version, and then a completely ridiculous legendary version.

00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:49.000
Mine is: The Legend of Tallinn.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:54.000
Is it true? Maybe.

00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.000
Is it exaggerated? Almost certainly.

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:05.000
Is it better than calling myself just another person with opinions? Absolutely.

00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:13.000
Tallinn is a good city for this kind of myth.

00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:22.000
It has old streets, cold weather, digital bureaucracy, tourists, startups, medieval walls, modern anxiety, and dramatic lighting.

00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:30.000
So this podcast will be a place for thoughts, stories, jokes, observations, and occasional dramatic statements.

00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:36.000
Sometimes it will be about Tallinn. Sometimes about the internet. Sometimes about identity.

00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:44.000
And sometimes it will simply be about trying to exist with style in a world that keeps asking for documents, passwords, verification codes, and emotional stability.

00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:50.000
This is the first episode. The beginning of the archive. The first signal from the legend.

00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:58.000
Welcome to Mika Kesulkkenen: The Legend of Tallinn.

00:01:58.000 --> 00:02:03.000
Probably true. Definitely dramatic.
