Utherverse Co-Founder Brian Shuster Visits DirtyOldMen.tv

BOSTON — Internet porn pioneer Brian Shuster will be a guest Saturday on the video podcast DirtyOldMen.tv, hosted by Wasteland/Spicecash’s CEO Colin Rowntree and fellow paysite owner Simon Abitbol.

Shuster, who launched XPics Publishing in 1996 and watched it grow into an adult internet empire made up of 2 million paying subscribers, 150 employees and contractors, 60,000 webmaster affiliates and more than 600 web sites, will join Rowntree and Abitbol to discuss adult entertainment and web technologies.

Shuster will also provide updates on Utherverse, the online digital universe he co-created in 2002 with Ray Schwartz, leading to the duo's debut of the virtual adult world Red Light Center in 2006.

DirtyOldMen.tv, which premiered last month, sets out to pull back the curtain on adult industry professionals that are both in front of and behind the camera, and to have informative and entertaining conversations about the adult industry.
