Nunhead American Radio with Lewis Schaffer

12 Mar 2012 Soan, Klein, Jassy  Our best show ever for the Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer of Nunhead! The only radio program for Nunhead and the most marginalized immigrants in England, Americans. Nunhead artiste and entertainment promoter Vivienne Soan makes a return engagement and reveals she isn't English but Welsh. She is so devoted to her Nunhead she will be producing three Pull the Other One shows a year at the Tenants Hall on Peckham Rye even as her regular shows move to Herne Hill. Jassy Davis is new to the show - she is a Nunhead foodie and a blogger and her site www.ginandcrumpets.com looks so delicious you'll want to eat it. Brooklynite Randy Klein, my successful older brother in arms and Nunhead's famous artist, talks of his new installation at the Nunhead train station.  With funny Lisa Moyle, American and funny Englishman Chris Dixon. Enjoy!

Nunhead American Radio on facebook: Voice of Americans

20 Feb '12 Ivor Dembina, Gion Leka. Listen to the Voice of Americans from Nunhead. The only Radio program for Americans living in Nunhead. Our best show, ever!  English comic Ivor Dembina on fine form as he sits in with Frog on the Green proprietor, Nunhead resident and former Albanian, Gion Leka. He brought along Bobby Dowler, an artist and restauranter-in-arms (with Gion) at the Provisional Soup Kitchen on Copeland Road. Bobby's from the oppressed nation of Croydon, south east London.  It just happened an hour ago and I can't remember a thing - that is the mark of a great, great show. Oh, Ivor was trying out jokes!

Insert

Gion and I had met perhaps eight years ago at the Father's Baby and Toddler Group at the Townley Road Clinic, run by lovely Penny in East Dulwich. I hadnt remembered him when I called him on the phone to arrange for him to come on the show - such a small small world Nunhead is! He told me how I was laid low at the time and was a very attentive father, going often, for instance, to wipe my son's nose.

Lisa Moyle was wonderful again as co-host. Hannah Brown was expertly manning the tech desk. Enjoy!

13 Feb '12 Cemetery, Robin Schacht.  The Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer and Lisa Moyle. Our best show ever! Every day our show becomes more and more about our beloved Nunhead. This week we learned that Charles Dickens might have actually died in Nunhead. (Yes, Wikipedia that!) "Satheast" Londoner Malcolm Collins gives us the inside dope on the treasure of Nunhead, Nunhead Cemetery, as a representative of Friends of Nunhead Cemetery (FONC). "Why does a cemetery need friends?" is one question we asked.

It has only taken us two and half years to have someone from his organization in the studio.  His daughter, Anita, couldn't make it and I was pleasantly surprised when Malcolm was able to hold the show on his own.  

As always, Robin Schacht from Washington DC and Nunhead added good, wholesome American spirit to the proceedings.  Not that co-host Lisa Moyle isn't wholesome, she is, but in a very New York way. It struck me who Robin reminds me of: a very young, and perhaps even prettier Meryl Streep! Lovely Leanne Bower has flown the coop - sadly. A shout out to her Mom and her Dad up there in Barnsley or Burnley or Blackburn or Blackpool. It begins with a "B", that is all I know.  Lovely Charlotte ran the soundboard for the first time, under able direction of Chris Dixon, who also added a very funny joke to the show.  And Lisa Moyle was particularly pleasant! Enjoy. 

Listen live most every Monday at 10:30pm Nunhead time (22:30 GMT) at 104.4fm in Nunhead and arounds or stream us at www.resonancefm.com.

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!

28 Nov '11 w/Cllr Vicky Mills & Coach Steve Scanlon. Voice of Americans with Lewis Schaffer of Nunhead.  Our best show ever! If you have ever wondered: "What makes Nunhead so good?" This is the show for you! An interesting combination of Nunhead Labour Councillor Vicki Mills, lamenting the loss of community under Margaret Thatcher (or maybe that is just what I heard), Nunhead Football Coach Steve Scanlon, who coaches the up and coming Carnegie Schaffer, giving us the latest on the Athenlay Football Club and also new Nunhead American Jeff Kuntz, telling us how to pronounce his name. All in good fun. How can Nunhead be THAT fascinating? Well it is!!! Listen and enjoy. But wait...

Robin Schacht, Nunhead American (well, she used to live in Nunhead and she is such a good sport) sat in Co-Host's Lisa Moyle's seat, as Lisa was out sick suffering an English Disease. We missed her. Leanne Bower is ably working the board. Chris Dixon on emotional support. Enjoy. 

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.

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.
