    #44 Hogy készül a Plain Hungarian Podcast? - How is the Plain Hungarian Podcast made? - B1

    Send us Fan MailHave 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!Support the showOn my Supercast page you can listen to all FULL episodes, download the transcripts with many extras and join my club with weekly speaking practice.Subscribe to my newsletter so you don't miss the news and exclusive content.We can chat on Instagram.Hungarian lessons and all other services: https://plainhungarian.com/

    #33 Szerintem a mentális egészség... - I think mental health is... - B1

    Send us Fan Mail🇭🇺 HU: Reggeli agymenésem a mentális egészségről. Ez most kicsit strukturálatlan lesz, mert csak hagytam, hogy folyjon belőlem a szó, és direkt nem szerkesztettem a szöveget. Az volt a célom, hogy őszinte és tiszta legyen. Ebből viszont az is következett, hogy túl sokat időztem a mentális egészséggel kapcsolatos nehézségeknél, túl sokat általánosítottam, és nem maradt idő a megoldásokra és a pozitív gondolkodásra. De remélem, ettől függetlenül érdekes lesz ez az epizód, kíváncsi vagyok, mit gondolsz, milyen így a podcast, hogy nem volt egy előre megírt, tudatosan szerkesztett szöveg előttem.Úgy gondolom, mindenki megérdemli, hogy jól érezze magát a bőrében. Ezzel az epizóddal szeretnélek arra ösztönözni, hogy gondolkodj el a saját mentális egészségeden és keress olyan megoldásokat, amelyek neked működnek, és ne félj segítséget kérni, ha szükséged van rá.A podcast átiratról és a klubról itt találod az infókat: https://subscribepage.io/plain-hungarian-club🇺🇸 EN: My morning brainstorm on mental health. This is going to be a bit unstructured, because I just let the words flow out of me and didn't edit the text on purpose. My aim was to be honest and clear. However, this also meant that I spent too much time on the difficulties of mental health, generalised too much and left no time for solutions and positive thinking. But I hope you find this episode interesting regardless, I'm curious  to hear your thoughts about the podcast with this more spontaneous approach without having a pre-written, consciously edited text in front of me.I think everyone deserves to feel good about themselves. With this episode, I want to encourage you to reflect on your own mental health and find solutions that work for you. Don't be afraid to seek help if you need it.You can find more information about the podcast transcript and the club here: https://subscribepage.io/plain-hungarian-clubSupport the showOn my Supercast page you can listen to all FULL episodes, download the transcripts with many extras and join my club with weekly speaking practice.Subscribe to my newsletter so you don't miss the news and exclusive content.We can chat on Instagram.Hungarian lessons and all other services: https://plainhungarian.com/

Öt, különböző korú ember elmondja, hogy ő mit gondol a mentális egészség témáról. Szó van egészséges életmódról, jelenben levésről, arról, hogy soha nem elégszünk meg a dolgokkal, mindig többet akarunk, gyereknevelésről, kapcsolatokról, világutazásról, és arról, milyen az élet, ha az anyukád pszichológus. És nem, egyszer sem említettem a podcastban a meditálást vagy a jógázást! Semmi tanács, azon kívül, hogy utazni jó és próbáljunk meg a jelenben lenni. KLUBTAGSÁG   EN: October 10th is World Mental Health Day, so I thought I’d make a podcast about it. Five people of different ages share their thoughts on mental health. We talk about healthy living, being present, how we’re never satisfied and always want more, raising kids, relationships, world travel, and what it’s like when your mom is a psychologist. And no, I didn’t mention meditation or yoga even once! No advice, except that traveling is great and we should try to live in the moment.
