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.

You Can Hate Me Now (ft. Marty Topps)
This is a wacky one. Nick recorded it at Marty Topps' incredible home studio and Marty provides backing on the keyboard, gets lightly interviewed and Nick "covers" a few "standards", including Hate Me Now by Nas. Marty is a musical comedy cult legend, having recorded albums dedicated to the Tap Out brand and about his uncle's seafood restaurant. He's a member of Toronto comedy collective Laugh Sabbath and has incredible and hilarious albums available at www.martytopps.bandcamp.com.

Back In Montreal Business (And Ain't It Grande)
Nick is back in Montreal, and it’s another nice time although he’s mostly stayed in. Luckily, his friend and bandmate in Wrong Hole Andrew Moszynski (drummer in Deadly Snakes and guitarist in Tee Pee recording artists Comet Congtrol & Quest For Fire) came by and backed up a stream-of-consciousness and highly silly podcast that mentions Avengers: Endgame, Game Of Thrones, houses with no TVs, Patreon perks, various weird email addresses and much more in a very short amount of time.
