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.

Hey it's Steph Tolev! She's hilarious, she was a big part of the Toronto scene (co-hosting a show with Nick) and now she's one of the shining lights of the LA scene. She's performed at Comedy Central's Clusterfest, the LA Improv, Just For Laughs and her sketch duo Ladystache has topped the iTunes charts and normalized lady moustaches.
