  • #44 Hogy készül a Plain Hungarian Podcast? - How is the Plain Hungarian Podcast made? - B1
    Apr 14 2025

    Have you ever wondered how my podcast is made? In this episode, I’m finally revealing all the behind-the-scenes secrets! 🤫

    I want you to know that while you can listen to the episodes for free, a lot of work and costs go into making them. I produce the episodes in my free time alongside my other work, but software, hosting, and platform fees aren’t free. Every month, I pay for graphic design programs, podcast distribution, and even Ko-fi has its costs. Plus, achieving high-quality audio required an expensive microphone, which I was able to purchase thanks to the help of a generous former club member.

    So, overall, this podcast - which you’re enjoying for free - costs a lot each month. I’m able to keep doing this thanks to the support of my club members, and I’m truly grateful to them. ❤️

    If you’d like the podcast to remain available and you appreciate my work, please consider supporting it! You can buy me a virtual coffee on Ko-fi, subscribe on Buzzsprout, or join my club, where your support grants you access to exclusive content: full podcast transcripts, bilingual Hungarian-English texts, monthly online meetups, and much more.

    Thank you for listening!

    --------------

    Mindig is érdekelt, hogy hogyan készül a podcastom? Ebben az epizódban végre lerántom a leplet a kulisszatitkokról! 🤫

    Szeretném, ha tudnátok, hogy bár ingyen hallgathatjátok az epizódokat, a háttérben rengeteg munka és költség áll. Munka mellett, szabadidőmben készítem az epizódokat, de a szoftverek, a hosting, és a platformok használata bizony nem ingyenes. Minden hónapban fizetek a grafikai programokért, a podcast terjesztéséért, és még a Ko-fi is pénzbe kerül. Ráadásul a minőségi hangzáshoz elengedhetetlen volt egy drága mikrofon, amit egy kedves ex-klubtag segítségével tudtam megvásárolni.

    Szóval, összességében sokba kerül minden hónapban ez a podcast, amit te most ingyen hallgathatsz, és a klubtagok támogatásának köszönhetően tudom ezt csinálni továbbra is, amiért nagyon hálás vagyok nekik. ❤️

    Ha szeretnéd, hogy a podcast továbbra is elérhető legyen, és értékeled a munkámat, kérlek, fontold meg a támogatás lehetőségét! Küldhetsz egy virtuális kávét a Ko-fin, előfizethetsz a Buzzsprouton, vagy csatlakozhatsz a klubomhoz, ahol a támogatásodért cserébe exkluzív tartalmakat kapsz: az összes podcast átiratát, angol-magyar kétnyelvű szövegeket, havi online találkozókat és még sok mást.

    Köszönöm, hogy hallgatsz!

  • #42 Nem fürödtem három hétig?! - I haven't showered for three weeks?! - B1
    Mar 14 2025

    In today's episode, I’ll be sharing stories about my special adventures in Greece. Before COVID, every summer, I used to spend three weeks in the mountains with a team of biologists searching for vipers. We lived completely offline, in tents, without electricity or shower facilities.

    Soon, I’ll be heading off on a similar adventure again, this time with a camper van. If you’d like to support my camper van project, here’s how you can do it:

    • Join my club, where you’ll get extra learning materials, podcast transcripts, and meetings to help you improve your Hungarian quickly and enjoyably: https://ko-fi.com/plainhungarian/tiers
    • Take part in my courses or book a private lesson with me: https://plainhungarian.com/
    • Send a donation via Wise: https://wise.com/pay/me/csillak148
    • Send a donation via PayPal: https://paypal.me/plainhungarian?country.x=HU&locale.x=en_US
    • Send a one-time or recurring donation via Ko-fi: https://ko-fi.com/plainhungarian
    • Send a one-time or recurring donation via Buzzsprout (in return, you’ll get a 28-page ebook): https://www.buzzsprout.com/2138870/subscribe

    100% of the donations will be used to complete the caravan. Currently, the furniture is being built, but in addition, I will need a laptop because I currently work on a desktop computer and I cannot take that with me, and the gas and accessories needed for cooking are also waiting to be purchased.

    I am deeply grateful for your support in making my long-cherished dream come true!
