As of July 1999 (the only time I listened to it), Powers had a radio call-in show on a station in Los Angeles. It did not improve my perception of him. Instead of being his friendly, self-effacing self on the air, he was pretty cocky about his scores, describing to his callers how women could not help but be pleasured by him once he got started.

The highlight of the show was when a lawyer who represented prostitutes called in and offered his services to Ed's actresses if they ever got in trouble. Powers got defensive, and made a sorry attempt to differentiate between Porn Actress and Prostitute for the caller.

A major draw of Powers' films is the realism of them. No one pretends to ignore the camera. The girls are clearly on camera for the first time, and faking nothing, not even attitudes.
