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.

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.

9 May 2011 Christian Reilly, Randy Klein.  Voice of Americans! We resume after a three week break for Bank Holidays - who knew when we accepted this time slot we would be able to have the Mondays off so often? Not that we had much choice of time slots! This Voice of Americans show is gorgeous! It comes right after Osama bin Laden and Kate Middleton Wales were all over the press and Lisa and I were well rested.  Our special guest, Musician and comic Christian Reilly, ticked a few boxes - worked with Rich Hall, the funny American comedian and the most famous American comedian working in the country today, as Ruby Wax has waned a bit. He is a musician and sang a leftwing type song, which is sure to make many of our listeners feel smug, and he is a comic who has seen me perform my one man show at the Source Below [11 Lower John Street, Soho W1F 9TY, every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 8 PM (God willing) - reservation information at www.lewisschaffer.co.uk or www.sourcebelow.com]. He loved it!! 

Also on board was loyal friend and fellow Nunhead American Randy Klein. He is like my older, more successful older brother. We neglected to ask him what I need to help my comedy career

 -this was Chris Dixon's idea, and a good one. We shall do it next time.  But we did discuss the royal family, and only in Britain could we say not so nice things a country's monarchy and get away with it (we hope!). God Bless Britain for being so accepting. Chris wasn't here, except for a brief visit toward the end. Leanne Bower ably womanned the deck at our Borough High Street studios. A lovely, lovely show and one we are proud of!  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! 

The Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer of Nunhead, the only radio program for Americans living in Nunhead, the Capital of Southwark Water Supplies and Human Burial Services, welcomes back two of our favorites:  Michael Holland, the dude who wrote the Southwark News article about our show calling what I say "often cow crap" is back to talk about his new film on successful Nunhead American artist and friend Randy Klein. Randy speaks of working with Michael and Randy offers his services as a life coach to Lewis Schaffer and the show. We try to save the Honor Oak Recreation Ground and talk about how Reg Varney filmed "On the Buses" in Nunhead. Or part of it. And what is the correct pronunciation of Nunhead? Nun-ed or Nun Head? Co-host Lisa Moyle is brilliant, as always, and I mean that without irony. She is a natural and if she gets any better, I am going to have to pull a Tony Hancock on her Syd James [God, I have lived in Nunhead too long - our foreign listeners won't know what I am talking about.] Leanne Bower (with no "S" as she is unique) is ably handling the tech side while amazing Chris Dixon away on 'assignment', not forgotten and definitely missed. Enjoy. See Lewis Schaffer Live and Free every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in Soho, London. Info and Reservations at www.sourcebelow.com.

Ivor Dembina interrupts Lewis Schaffer Host of Voice of Americans. Ivor, our favorite replacement guest, joins Lisa Moyle and beautiful Nunhead American Becky Allen artist. With Chris Dixon and Leanne Bower! Enjoy

Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer of Nunhead!  This week with Nunhead American, Coloradan, and artist Rebecca (Becky) Allen. We talks about art and Nunhead!

Erich McElroy, London-based comic from America, joins us to discuss comedy and why Lewis Schaffer isn't a success yet in the UK. He also discusses why he became a "citizen" of the UK, as if it is possible for an American to become a "citizen" here (and if anyone is a citizen in the UK, and not a "subject of the queen". With Chris Dixon and Lisa Moyle!)  I thought this show went very, very well.

With guests: with sweet Nunheader and American Robin Schacht and with close English friend of Lewis Schaffer,and someone Lisa Moyle has met, comedian, producer, financial blogger and father: Dominic Frisby! Enjoy one of our early shows. I laugh far too much at my own jokes  (8 December 2010)
