Nunhead American Radio with Lewis Schaffer

30 Jan 12 w/Morganico.com & Liam Mullone. Our best show! Voice of Americans with Nunhead-New Yorker Lewis Schaffer and lovely co-host Nunhead Borders resident Lisa Moyle. Our amazing guests this week are the incredible Morganico, a prime mover behind getting the skateboard ramps Southwark in in Nunhead's Peckham Rye Park, and local arrtist who painted the decorative bollards and the electricity sub-station on Forest Hill Road outside the Herne Tavern. Joining Morganico.com is his funny black friend Super Zuma (aka Elkin Gordon Atwell) who was running security for  Morganico.com and is himself a social entrepreneur and technologist. Laconic, droll and cynical comic Liam Mullone, maybe Nunhead's top comic, if we don't count Lewis Schaffer, pays us a return visit.  We ticked boxes! Enjoy!

hannah Brown is working the tech desk as Leanne Bower has decided she needs to go to sleep early on Mondays. With lovely Lisa Moyle, fascinating and beautiful as ever!

16 Jan '12 w/ Steve Pafford & Paul Ricketts. Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer of Nunhead.  Show Two of the season and expertly planned and executed it is!  Host Lewis Schaffer and co-host Lisa Moyle speak with Nunhead American artist and art teach Rebecca Allen, from Kansas and Steve Pafford, the ever-elusive English journalist and organiser of the Southeast Central forum (www.southeastcentral.co.uk) where Nunhead features prominently.

9 Jan '12 w/ Howard Francis. Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer of Nunhead.  Amazing show! Our first show back after the holiday. Guests include Howard Francis from the Nunhead Voice, our local community newsletter, speaks out against building on the site of the Early Years Centre, next to the Old Nun's Head pub. Jim Enck, our local American, from Memphis, Tennessee though born in Connecticutt, pronounced Con-net-ee-cut. I laugh at my own jokes, and sound exactly like my father did, which sounds insincere and coming from nervousness. I hope it isn't. With the lovely Lisa Moyle and Leanne Bower. Our best show ever, still!

7 Nov '11 w/ Cllr Renata Hamvas and comic Sion James. The Voice of Americans returns to politics with Southwark Councillor Renata Hamvas, who impressed Lisa Moyle, the co-host and Lewis Schaffer, the host, with her knowledge of the minutia of Nunhead life - though nothing is minute in Nunhead to us. Also on board is comedian and Nunhead comedy show promoter (at the Ivy House) Sion James, who is very very VERY dry in comedic approach. I guess when you come from Wet Wales you need something to be dry!  With Leanne Bower on the desk.

3 Oct '11 Ivy House, Norman Welch.  Another fantastic Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer of Nunhead. Lewis Schaffer would say this wasn't one of his best but what does he know? Leanne Bower was under the weather and Chris Dixon manned the tech desk. We met for the first time Nunhead Heights main Pub Landlord Nick McNeil and what good guest he was - telling how his hippy parents threw stones at American soldiers at Greenham (?) in the last century. Also on board is our mate Norman Welch, a true American from Oklahoma or Missouri or somewhere. I'll find out more later.  You can listen and tell me.  With lovely Lisa Moyle, my American friend.

17 Oct '11 Terry Jones, Matt Roper. The Voice of Americans is back. Well. we've been on the radio for months but we had a spot of bother uploading the pods to posterous. I don't know who's to blame so I will blame myself.

This show we have lovely moi and co-host Lisa Moyle with the man who runs Nunhead's Peckham Rye Park Adventure Playground, Mr. Terry Jones. A Welsh name for a Lewisham boy but a local favourite. In addition is the very funny English comic Matt Roper who came in his true self, but can often be seen as "Wilfredo" the spitting foreign singer - truly hysterical! Leanne womanned the sound board. Enjoy! And  I will post more soon. This was our best show ever.

PS  See my show in Soho "Lewis Schaffer is Free until Famous" The Source Below, 11 Lower John Street, W1F 9TY corner of Brewer Street. Every Tuesday and Wednesdays except for December. info at www.sourcebelow.com

Listen live every 10:30pm Mondays at www.resonancefm.com and 104.4fm in Nunhead. 

16 May '11 Peter Cattrell, Ivan Dedek - Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer of Nunhead!

Ivan Dedek of Nunhead and Upstate New York, has reported that he found three more Americans in Nunhead, bringing the Known Number of American Nunheaders at 11! How brilliant is that!

Professional photographer Peter Cattrell of Nunhead Borders and the official photographer of Lewis Schaffer, makes his first appearance on our show. 

Lisa Moyle is at her funniest and in the absence of Chris Dixon and Leanne Bower, tech man Lee Stapleford ably takes over the deck.

Enjoy!

Another thoroughly enjoyable show with four beautiful women in our studios in Nunhead Heights (actually Borough, London - it's all SE!). Nunhead American Robin Schacht is originally from Washington, DC, as in Direct Current, which is ironic, because Washington is the home of Politics and nothing is ever 'direct' in Politics. She chatted with us about her recent trip representing Nunhead the African country of Uganda. How exotic it all sounded but I wasn't moved to want to leave my Nunhead. She was joined by the very exciting Jo Romero, who is a friend for life because of her open and out-going personality, so very American. She relayed details of her trip to New York City, a city, which she said she didn't like at ALL, which surprised Co-Host Lisa Moyle and me. The truth be told, she rented a room in Washington Heights, not at all similar to Washington, DC. It would be like making a visit to South London and not staying in Nunhead!  Lisa gave a report on Tara Smith having her baby and moving back to the Upper East Side, which is one place that Jo might have stayed, and then we had a lively chat about how the British do not like to be touched. All very funny!  Chris Dixon was suffering from vocal illness so Leanne Bower sound-boarded us again, and added quite nicely to the program. A lovely show! ENJOY! 

Another thoroughly enjoyable show but this time with three big guests!  Join Lewis Schaffer and co-host Lisa Moyle in welcoming, in no particular order, Nunhead Borders and American musician Jeff Miller for a solo appearance without his Hackney Collier Band. He MP3'd their single "Africa" and it sounded AMAZING.  Second up is David Hardcastle, the Bradford England comic and comedy club promoter. He was here promoting his new comedy venture, The Leicester Square Working Men's Club, and his old venture, the comedy night "Get Happy at the Leicester Square Theatre. Finally, we chat with Mr. Wayne Saunders, another person who took on the role of promoting Lewis Schaffer's career, only to realize it was a lost cause. He wouldn't say this directly, he being charming and very English, coming from The Wirral, which sounds similar to "The Bronx" in its charm. Three lovely people, plus the beautiful and talented tech person Leanne Bower  (our Chris Dixon being away on assignment) and gorgeous co-host Lisa Moyle who gave a much-valued report on Nunhead American Randy Klein's and Michael Holland, guest of the show's film. Enjoy!

Join Lewis Schaffer and Lisa Moyle and all of Nunhead in our discussion with Englishman Paul Fleckney, the editor of London comedy website London is Funny, and American Indian comic, musician, and new-found Catholic. With lovely Chris Moyles, who is not supposed to be there and Leanne Bower, our fantastic soundperson.
