Apart from Sootyj (Joel) and the interviewer, David Bussell, it's hard to find further details on this bunch. Anyone have more details?

Aw, my little baby.
I'm not quite sure what you're asking? They're still about, most of 'em anyway. Probably on Twitter and the like.
If anyone wants to reboot it, go ahead!
But where are they? Most of the interviewees aren't even given their full names.

Thanks.
From what I know (apologies to those whose further work I'm unaware of):
Martin Baum: has written a couple of 'yoof-speak' spoof versions of Shakespeare that has done very well. Amazon page
Ariane Sherine -- has her own Wikipedia entry and has been writing for TV a fair bit.
Stuart Laws -- does a fair bit of stand-up (whole Edinburgh shows on his website), and made lots of videos (such as Becoming Batman), used to do a lot of stuff with the interviewer himself, David Bussell.
Blakewill & Harris -- arguably the most successful on that list. They write for TV. A lot.
Phill Baron -- writes a lot of screenplays.
Bex Moran -- teamed up with another writer, Christian Azzola, and have made a load of stuff, which led to them getting work on TV and having a couple of script commissioned.
John Warburton -- stand-up who had a sitcom Inn Mates broadcast on BBC3 after 'graduating' from the BBC's College of Comedy. Gave up writing for telly as the interfering from execs whilst making it was too much to bear
The novelist Marc Pierson -- still writes for TV but has a successful series of Jack Delaney books going (yes, it's spelt differently but it is Marc!). He's still hangs around here a bit when he should be writing. Co-wrote Private London with the apocryphal James Patterson, but steadfastly refuses to confirm/deny that Patterson is a device used to sell books rather than an actual author who writes hundreds of books a year.
Lee Henman -- wrote Rap Battle for the iPlayer last year. I think he has a few irons in the fire in BBC-land and has a Bob Mortimer-led sitcom with an indie prodco, after the Beeb commissioned the script.
Dan
Nice one Dan!
The Inn-Mates chap seems particularly memorable. Did he try for BBC radio or something? Or even go into drama?
And what became of you Paul?
What became of any of us?
I think at one point they wanted to interview me!
