In between grant applications, storygathering, and bootstrapping, this space serves as a mise en place by PLATES Magazine, an independent print journal that combines slow journalism and food themes. episodicDee May Tanhello@platesmagazine.comNo<![CDATA[The basics: Your questions, answered]]>Here we are—final episode of season one, ‘The Basics’. Thank you so much for sending in your questions.

The Plates Membership SurveyAs some of you might have heard, I’m planning to launch a membership programme this year. It’s not a standard magazine subscription. Instead, I’m hoping to seek out and connect kindred spirits in this space. So, I’ve created this survey, which will hopefully help me gauge the wireframe of this membership programme. It’s completely anonymous (unless you opt to add your contact details at the end).

If you have four to five minutes to spare today, consider filling out the survey here (there are only four questions). I would greatly appreciate your input.

P/S I’m really happy to see a few of you pulling up those upturned milk crates to get the introductions rolling in this thread. Feel free to jump in/reply!

Starting the year off with some basic internet connection setbacks. But it’s fixed — for now. (In addition to its four-day hiatus, my WiFi driver has disappeared countless times as I struggle to type this out in between ‘unsaved changes’ and ‘network errors’.) I would throw in the towel on Windows OS, but attempting to teach myself Linux (plus reinstalling a bunch softwares) might not be the best project to take on right now. I did, however, treat myself to a USB WiFi and Bluetooth adaptor purchase last night. So, hopefully that will put an end to this lot of tech woes. Thanks for your patience (again) with this week’s sound bite. Here’s episode four of ‘The Basics’ series. Next up: I’ll be doing a fire Q&A round. So, if you have any questions about the podcast, the magazine, or these digital postcards, feel free to reply to this email with your questions. I look forward to hearing from you. Here’s to a happy, healthy and inspiring New Year ahead. —

In this sound bite: a result of being culturally shaken and stirred on foreign grounds. P/S The introduction thread is now up on Substack. If you’ve ever felt compelled to discuss the things that you’ve read in Plates, had the most random food thoughts in the past, or simply want to connect and build a community around these discussions, head over here to introduce yourself! —

Here’s the very first episode of this newsletter/podcast/sound bite/voice note combo (still working on a more succinct description here…)

Recorded during a storm at the Rimbun Dahan arts residency, where I am currently working on upcoming issues. I’m still figuring out this Substack UI. In the meantime, any immediate reactions, comments or questions about this episode or the magazine in general are most welcomed. Thanks for being here!P/S Feel free to tell your friends about Plates!
