Business Editor Megan [=McArdle=] is also a gamer, though to what extent is unknown (She loves Civ, at least). Chief blogger Andrew Sullivan, being English-born, is an obvious Series/DoctorWho and Creator/MontyPython fan. Josh Green is limited to music geekery, enough to put up a fight with a music website.
