HOT PLATE! reader feedback:
“An original voice. Taking his reader down unexpected twists and turns, Straub writes the way he plays a Fender Telecaster: depth and seriousness of purpose conveyed with playfulness and twang. Always a fun ride.
Beneath the wry humor and entertaining takes on American life in the present day abides a poorly concealed optimism for the human condition.
In a time of division when rational dialogue between sides seems impossible, Straub offers an unassuming ‘Straubinical’ approach to stitching the fraying social fabric. Even if that’s a bust, by reading Hot Plate! you’re likely to be listening to better music when the end times come.”
— an apparently addled reader, from the look of it
Why subscribe?
Subscribing to HOT PLATE! is the only way, to my knowledge, for you to get each issue sent to you, one at a time, after they come out.
The HOT PLATE! Guarantee
Subscribers receive the current issue of HOT PLATE! faster than anyone else does, eliminating the need to hang around on a grubby street corner, like a chump, waiting for the delivery truck. No potentate, mogul, bigwig, or grandee will get it before you do, unless they have the ability to alter space and time. Few do.
Be part of the HOT PLATE! family
Like most families, the HOT PLATE! family is a bunch of people you probably wouldn’t spend this much time with, if you could get out of it somehow. HOT PLATE! subscribers run a gamut (it would be a stretch to call it “THE” gamut) from hedge fund managers to hedge animal trimmers, and everything in between, or off to one side. For all their differences, the long and short of it is that they are moving-and-shaking, wheeling-and-dealing, fast-track in-the-loopsters who can’t be wheedled (or inveigled) with the kind of soft-soap dog-and-pony-show the rubes and greenhorns lap up in these hick towns. What do you take them for?
