Looking at Paul Fishbein you'd never guess he's "the porn guy." Fresh out of college in the early 80s Paul was working at a video store when he spotted an unaddressed need in the adult movie industry. He went on to found AVN-- the magazine, organization, and awards show otherwise known as "The Oscars of Porn." Paul shares stories from the heyday of x-rated moviemaking and the personal tragedy that prompted his exit from that world. He also gives us a peek into his new career producing mainstream TV and film-- what it was like to feature Whoopi Goldberg in a documentary about porn, why Jeff Goldblum is a dream interview, the scoop on behind-the-scenes turbulence on the set of Sex with Sunny Megatron & more. Ken & Sunny answer a listener question about DDLG relationships plus Sunny discovers a disturbing Facebook loophole that enables dick pic senders.
