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.

Dave Hill
Nick and Dave Hill go way back. They’ve appeared on multiple podcasts together, performed comedy internationally together, and even eaten at an Italian restaurant together. This chemistry makes for a conversation that will blow your socks clean off. Dave is a musician (Valley Lodge!), podcaster (The Dave Hill Podcasting Incident!), comedian (“Let Me Turn You On”!) and author (Dave Hill Doesn’t Live Here Anymore!) and that’s not even fathoming the depths of who he is. Nick and Dave talk Trump, Canada and a while lot of other mess. Special thanks to Andrew Lloyd for the great sound mix.
