Nick Flanagan, Weakly
Nick Flanagan
Hosted by the mysteriously charming Nick Flanagan, NFW is a peek into the the diverse community of people Nick orbits. It's also about his experiences singing in bands, doing comedy and living life while dealing with mental health, depression and ADHD after a draining stints as a touring performer and(harshest of all) a brief denizen of Los Angeles. Nick has met all kinds of people and seen things that cannot be unseen - mostly on Youtube. Bad news: he wants to tell you about them. Conversational solo episodes and interviews with social workers, subcultural experts, musicians and comedians means NFW covers a range of topics with charm, aplomb and a hint of desperation.

We Got Cases
Nick goes on a bit of "rant" as he tries to calm you about lockdowns and explain how much our own behaviour means no need for laws. Also embarrassing Canadian attention-seekers (Nick included).

You're Great, I'm OK
Nick took the week off and is shot out of a cannon in this one, pitter-pattering between the hairy week that was. Trump's debate, income taxes and illness come up. So does ADHD awareness month. So do some strange improvised tunes on the old reliable alligator keyboard. Undeniably classic episode of an undeniably classic podcast.

You Don't Have To Work, Claire
Nick gets into the various means of transportation and how no matter what, you get annoyed. But what do you DO with that energy? Tune in to find out. Do we need to work? No, says Nick - not unless you get your 15 years of passion first. Covid cases are up but we gotta keep cool, and you can hear the sound of Nick's energy deflating over every second of the podcast.
