10 10 10 (Puzzle No. 3,270)

It's not a themed puzzle, but 3,270 is built around an interesting three-word combination spread across 1a, 13a, and 23a.  I won't say anything more about it so as not to give anything away.  Good luck!

Hozom's comment: In Gratitude, in which we meet Hot and Trazom's test solvers, who include Zebraboy and Alice, radio quiz writers John Chaneski and Greg Pliska, and a bunch of other NPL members (but they're identified by their non-puzzling names).  Be sure to click the "Show more" button, so you can see some of the clues Hozom stole from the test solvers (good artists borrow, great artists steal...).

Degree of difficulty (by standards of this weekly puzzle): easy once you get 1, 13, 23.

Solution and annotation will be posted Monday.
