EscapeArtist Online Radio Player
EscapeArtist Online Television Player
Do you want Online Radio with CD quality sound? We have it, and we have placed an emphasis on Jazz Stations, Classical Music Stations, and other quality music with the mature, intelligent listener in mind. We differ from every other provider of online radio stations in that we have no advertisements, and we have close to the highest sound quality on the internet. We use between 64 and 160 kbps Bitrates. Bitrates are a good indicator for sound quality. While compressed signals never actually reach CD quality on the internet, we get as close as it is possible to get. Our sample frequency is not less than 48 kHz (90%+) This means that now you can listen to great music all day while you surf the web [the radio opens as a separate window in a reduced screen size so it can sit in the background on your browser while you work or surf.] You can listen to any number of great stations and we're adding more daily Plus you can listen free without annoying pop-ups, voice ads, or flashing ads. Best of all you can listen with close to CD sound quality. EscapeArtist radio is online with great stations from around the world. Listen . . . enjoy!

 

Online Television from around the world. The idea, of course is to present television from various nations so that you can get a sample of what television is like in Brazil, Belize, or even Borneo.  We are working at expanding the list of channels and also on improving the database so all the stations listed work all of the time. [an anomaly of Online Television is fickleness.] Plus, we would like to be able to remote link to specific nations. If we wanted to remote link to television in Argentina, it would look like this: Online Television In Argentina  In the current format we do not yet have that remote link option fully functional for each country and for each category, but we are working on it and should have it by March 2010. Okay, here's the deal; you can watch television from Argentina right now - - you can watch television from Brazil right now, its a fully functional online television player. We are adding more content; maybe even Borneo and the Antarctic if possible. The television player works right now and there are mucho channels. You can watch science fiction, westerns, television from numerous nations, maybe even Borneo. . . . if they they have television in Borneo.
 World's Newspapers ~ International Press
EscapeArtist Films & Videos
Newspapers of the world? - International press & media? When we started our website we realized that reading an overseas newspaper could give a person insights into what it was like to live in a country.  What we didn't realize is that newspapers were on their way out. Why read a newspaper when one can get current news on various websites?  But that's not always true. In much of Latin America people still read newspapers; Tits & Ass type newspapers, with some brainless bimbo on the front cover, her boobs hanging out, a full color photo of a major motor accident on the back cover. Hey, it's the news, and people read it. Okay, there are some serious newspapers in Latin America, but T & A is big; no denying it. The fact remains that reading foreign newspapers does have worth, not just for finding out what's current, but figuring out what a culture reacts to. Add to that, the fact that many times the real price of a commodity is posted in a newspapers Classifieds, real estate for instance; while an inflated price is posted online — the same company might post the same property online for twice as much hoping for a dumb gringo buyer.  (There's plenty of them.) . . . and there are other reasons to check out newspapers in foreign nations.  The original idea still holds value; so we leave this section online. Okay, we need to update it, that's a given. Any volunteers that want to take over the 'Newspaper's of the World' section should contact EscapeArtist.
EscapeArtist Films & Videos - Coming Soon - We suspect that the films and video section will be online by March 2010. The game plan is to include the following: Forum type setup with user contributions in preset channels and/or categories ( . . . suggesting new videos, channels and categories is to be an option). Documentaries and films relevant to the international expat lifestyle, videos featuring living offshore, offshore investments, interviews with relevant thinkers, doers and investment consultants. We intend to have our own selected display channels (Example: Our 'Moving To Belize' index page will show all videos tagged Belize, our 'Real Estate in Belize' index will have videos on Belize real estate, and so forth). We intend to have private channels on our partner sub-domains (Shared access when appropriate, but the center engine can serve their own private video items as well.) This is being developed and tested at this time. It is not our intention to compete with anyone, but to present content that is relevant to expats and want-to-be expats. So EscapeArtist's, take heart, we will soon have films, videos, and documentaries that have the sort of content that you want to see.
