i have an idea for a new whiskey segment!

While i was watching the latest happy hour, i was thinking about what i would like to see in this coming year: Specials! 
 
A lot of the users go to these sites to enjoy the personality's of the whiskey staff, and i think there is room for special segments that go beyond games, comics or movies. 
    
By giving the staff room to talk about their other passions/interests, we could get great content that would not translate to an entire whiskey site. 
If i look at the top-25 albums of the year blog post of Alex Navarro, or the posts from will and rorie, i would really be interested in a one off music themed podcast/something else.  
  
And there a many more topics that could be really cool to listen to: cars, books or photography.   
Because these topics are not suited for actual long term recurring features, and may not be entertaining for everyone, maybe it could be a subscriber only feature. 
 
Is this something you guys could be into? i would love to see if i am not the only one.

That's what the Friday night show, and to a lesser extent the podcasts when they go off on tangents, are for. It's fine and I think there is a large group of people who would want that, but that's what their personal blogs are for. It's supposed to be a site about video games, not the crew and what they like.

That would be a complete waste of resources. Why would a site dedicated to x start covering y? If there is enough demand  and interest for that stuff they will launch more dedicated sites.

Game coverage > Personality coverage.

@MisterChief: Good point, but not all off whiskey sites are as resource intensive as giantbomb. comic vine and screened are very reliant of the stuff that comes out. I think that these segments are indeed better suited with less involvement from the gb crew (time wise).
