Dear Brave Pioneer,

Welcome to Slate Plus Beta! You’re one of the very first to experience Slate Plus, the ultimate all-access pass to Slate. Slate Plus will officially launch in April, but you’re one of our beta users. We believe we’re launching a product that will interest and delight you—and we’re pretty sure you’ll tell us whether we’re right.

What does that mean? As part of our limited Slate Plus Beta crowd, you’re getting access to the newest features, benefits, and perks we’re rolling out for this exciting program—from ad-free podcasts to podcast bonus features, from chances to interact directly with your favorite Slate-sters to behind-the-scenes looks at the inner workings of our magazine—before anyone else.

So what is this thing? It’s not a paywall. Slate itself remains as free as it’s ever been (other than, uh, March ’98–February ’99). Instead, Slate Plus is a membership program that enables our most committed readers and listeners to get an enhanced Slate experience, while supporting the work we do. We’re launching Slate Plus because we want to make the connection between the magazine and our readers even deeper. But we’re starting out with a beta because we really want your feedback before we officially go public. We've tested the heck out of this thing, and we know it works for us. But we’re building Slate Plus for you. So please let us know what you like, what you don’t like, what is confusing or broken, what truly excites you. Kick the tires with us and get in on the ground floor of the future of Slate.

Whether you have an idea for a great Slate Plus feature, a gripe about a page that isn’t working (or isn’t fun), or a question about your account—please let us know. Contact us here, at plus@slate.com. We’re here to listen and we’re happy you’re here! Welcome.

Thanks,

Jennifer and Jeff
