If we focused on a wider range of people, not just "special" people (staffers or awar winners), it would be okay. I like the idea as it is now, though.
Yes, it should be a wide range, maybe 10-20 different people, so that readers will not always see the same. The tricky thing is: the persons must be not special, but in any way "interesting". It makes no sence presenting ten persons who are only typo-fighting, although one of them would be fine. Finding people is not that easy, by the way.
