Nagyon Szuper!!!

Very cool indeed, is what I think of Amir Markish’s Radio Hungary ($1.99) which has a very user friendly interface allowing you to search Hungarian Radio stations being broadcast online.  Save your favorites and play. I just doesn’t get easier.  Buffering is surprisingly fast and most stations stream reliably over wifi – though I am bummed that for some reason Bartok (a station I like to listen to when in Budapest) isn’t streaming with a codec this app plays – this is not limited to this app, I have a hard time getting a good feed from them on my Mac, but minden jó lesz I’ve got Juventus and about 70 other stations!

I think for Hungarian ex-pats, Hungarians visiting the US or people studying Magyarul or wanting their kids to learn Hungarian this is a solid investment since you're hearing everything.  So you get an idea of how I listen, I have my iPhone set on an iHome charger/speaker and I can pretty much get that sense that I'm back in Hungary, sipping Preszo and maybe eating an excellent slice of Beigli at the New York Cafe in Budapest.

Though I was born and raised in the mid coast region of Maine in the fishing village of Owls Head, I’ve traveled North America and Central Europe quite a bit. I've been married to Katalin Vecsey (a Professor at Bates College) since 1991, and in 2002 we had our first child, Kelen, we also have a Mini-Schnauzer named Spaulding.

Having grown up in rural Maine, I enjoy being outdoors, fly fishing, hunting, hiking, kayaking, snowboarding, you name it. Having been an undergraduate in Olympia Washington (just South of Seattle), and lived and worked in both Cologne, Germany and Budapest, Hungary I also have a love the metropolitan life.

Currently I’m a doctoral candidate for the Doctor of Arts degree in leadership studies at Franklin Pierce University, in Concord New Hampshire http://www.franklinpierce.edu/ my dissertation topic is on the Doctor of Arts degree itself, since it is a uniquely American degree with roots in the Great Depression as an alternative to the ubiquitous Ph.D.

My other interests include fine art and video, some of my artistic work in videography can be viewed on Vimeo at http://vimeo.com/johnpainter
