Nunhead American Radio with Lewis Schaffer

24 Oct '11 Hank Dogg, Steve Bennett. This was our best show, EVER. Join Lewis Schaffer and Lisa Moyle Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer of Nunhead. Two amazing guests! Hank Dogg, the Nunhead rock n roll musician, playing a song or two including "Margaret Finch" - a fabulous guest who highlights how much musical talent and personality reside in Nunhead. Second, but by no means second, is Steve Bennett, the dude behind chortle.co.uk, the most visited comedy website in the UK. I love him cause he is sooo American: Have an idea and do it through sheer hard work and determination. I am envious as I am a lazy sod. "Sod"? Yes, sod, I said it. I am Englishy. I assume Leanne Bower is womanning the soundboard. I haven't listened since and I forget. If not, Chris Dixon. Either way, brilliant micro- broadcasting.

Steve Bennett, Mr Chortle.Com joins us. He is a man I have tremendous respect for because has taken an idea, and through hard work, so unlike what I do, made it a huge success. I didn't listen to much of this show because I had my doubts as to it's merits - at this stage we were still working out the bugs in the show. Still, the dude is interesting and worth a listen. I flub what is to become one of my favorite jokes. I should have said: "Every nation thinks your comedians are the best because your comics know their audience, and know what makes you laugh. Your family and your friends always make you laugh more than strangers. So comedy is best with your family and friends. Its the opposite of sex, which is never good with your family or friends."  Okay, a long way to get there. If you can shorten it, let me know. With lovely Lisa Moyle.
