With respect to blind programmer stories, I suggest that podcasts of audio interviews, e.g., recorded via phone or Skype, would generally work better than expecting people to submit written, biographical essays. I think more submissions would be obtained via interviews. Also, the audience could get a better sense of the interviewee by hearing the speech of the person.
