SXH: If Hollywood were to do the Josh Rubin Story who would play you and why?

JR: I guess Jason Schwartzman because we kind of look alike.


SXH: Do you have an opinion of personal blogs? People showing what they ate for dinner etc. it’s a new phenomenon, what do you make of it?

JR: That’s what blogs are supposed to be for!

 

 

SXH: Print and Online media are drastically different, what in your opinion are the main benefits and disadvantages of online media? In the future will CH be in print?

JR: Print has a tactile value that just feels good to the hand and the soul. I don’t ever see that going away. Online has immediacy. We see something and can have it in front of our readers within minutes. You can’t do that in print. Additionally, online we have the ability to get our like-minded readers communicating with each other. We actually don’t do that right now, but it might be coming in the future...

SXH:  Do you have any regrets?

JR: Honestly, the name Cool Hunting. It’s so loaded. We’ve almost rebranded a dozen times, now. We actually registered http://www.coolhuntingisover.com !

SXH: Would you indulge us with your favorites?

JR: Sure. Picking just one for each isn’t easy, though...
