Young later went on to serve as editor of WeirdThings.com, also published by Mayne. Young first met podcasting collaborator and magician Brian Brushwood in Florida while interviewing him for iTricks.com and soon after became a regular guest on Brushwood's BBLiveShow podcast following a swarm of call-in appearances. Prior to this, Young hosted a short-lived YouTube series called TalkingHead TV in which he interviewed guests from around the world on the topics of tech and pop culture, including an early interview with future co-host Brian Brushwood. Young and Brushwood were picked up by Leo Laporte's TWiT.tv network to co-host a show that went on to be named NSFW and premiered on November 24, 2009. In the same year, Young began the Weird Things podcast with co-hosts Mayne and Brushwood, and served as an Associate Producer on the first season of G4 Underground.
