This is an interview with veteran porn director (and shooter) Jim Powers.  It was recorded on January 11, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Adult Entertainment Expo. 

Jim directed his first adult movie over sixteen years ago.  Since then, he is credited with 757 titles according to IAFD, but the real number is likely substantially higher.  This works out to 47+ movies a year, or nearly one a week continuously for nearly two decades straight. 

Practically all Jim's work is hard gonzo, but not without a sense of humor and often more attention is given to a plot than one might expect.  As Jim discusses in the interview, he strives to create unique, memorable scenes that will still please even the most jaded raincoater.  Some of his popular series' over the years have included American Bukkake, The Babysitter, Gag Factor, Guttermouths, Kelly the Coed, Perverted Stories and The Violation of ... lesbian series. 

In 2004, Powers formed his own production studio called Powersville.  The venture has proved successful and two successful series have resulted:  Filthy Things and School Girls.  He continues to shoot movies for JM Productions, Sin City and other adult studios as well.  His latest private label productions are The Animal, Bound and Little Runaway #02, "A punk rock love story."

This telephone interview with Asian adult star Niya Yu was recorded on March 26, 2008.

At the time of the interview, Niya had been involved in the adult industry for about a year and during that time performed in approximately fifty scenes, evenly split between Internet content and and traditional DVDs.  Niya isn't afraid be nasty on camera and has quickly become a fan favorite.  She was the voted the winner of the "Shooting Star Award" in the 2008 APH Awards.  To date, she is probably best known for her scorching performace in The Gangbang Girl #37.  In that scene Niya and co-star Maya Hills took on fifteen guys and fully satisifed them every way imaginable.  Asian porno hottie fans voted Niya's scene in The Gangbang Girl the best scene of 2007!

This interview is about two hours long and covers a wide range of topics. Everything from Niya's background and experiences in the adult industry to cooking and her investment strategies are discussed.  It's probably best to "direct download" this Podcast and listen to it in several sittings.  It would also be great on a long car trip!  Please note that due to the long running time, the mp3 file is larger than the others I have posted to date (58.4 MB).  The file is encoded in mono at 64 Kbps.  

Niya participates on the forum community at Snowman's Raincoat Review.  Her main message thread "New APH Niya Yu" can be found here.  There is also a discussion thread specifically related to this interview and some additional pictures posted here.  Also, be sure to visit Niya's Official Website.

This is an interview with Latina porn star Sativa Rose.  It was recorded on the set of Barely 18 #19 on April 30, 2005 shortly after Sativa finished a BGG three-way with Courtney Simpson and Dick Nasty.  The shoot took place at Sin City's studio in Chatsworth, CA.

At the time of this recording, Sativa had been involved in adult entertainment for about one year and five months during which she shot over 100 scenes.  Now, three years later, Sativa is still working in porn and the number of scenes she has appeared in has more than tripled making her one of the most prolific Latina performers ever.  At the time of this post, her DVD scenes alone number 321.

In our conversation, Sativa talks in detail about her experiences in porn,  background, future plans and the importance of her Latina heritage.  It is very interesting to note how her perspective on some issues has changed given the progression of career toward raunchier content since 2006.

Additional photographs of Sativa taken on the set and a related discussion thread can be found here on the SRR forum.  Also, stop by Sativa's website for exclusive content and a new forum.

This is a rare interview with Asian porn star Lyla Lei.  It was recorded on a rainy day in March of 2005 in Glendale, California on the set of Mayhem/Sin City's Two in the Can. 

In this leisurely and candid conversation, Lyla talks about her background, good and bad experiences in the adult industry, personal life and plans for the future. 

After shooting over 250 (mostly hardcore gonzo anal) scenes over a period of five years, this past October Lyla suddenly announced her intention to leave the adult industry.  Through her MySpace blog she told fans that she wished to pursue mainstream acting and/or modeling and was retiring her adult screen name.  She now goes by "Terri."

Additional photographs of Lyla from the set and a related discussion thread can be found here on the SRR forum.  Also, additional information about Lyla can be found on her Asian Porno Hottie Starlet Page.

Many thanks to director Jim Powers and Sin City for the opportunity to visit the set!
