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.

September's Sweet Sweet Smell
Today's episode streamed live on Nick's Facebook page so you might hear him type or respond to chat comments in the moment. His gratitude list devolves into a long breakdown of used bookstore problems. Then he gets all weird about the new Chappelle special, Contrapoints deleting her Twitter and the Toronto International Film Festival. An odd one as always!
