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 25, 2018 No Gods No Masters No Faith At All
Nick discusses a sick white nationalist running for mayor of Toronto for publicity. And ADHD. If you want to easily send a letter questioning Faith Goldy buying air time on Bell Media, here's an easy letter to copy, paste and send to AdvertiseWithUs@bellmedia.ca)
Dear Bell Media
it's come to my attention that Faith Goldy, a right wing neo-Nazi Toronto mayoral candidate, has purchased a large amount of ads from Bell Media via CP24.
Faith Goldy has endorsed by the alt-right neo-Nazis, many are volunteering for her, and she's trying to drag hate into the mainstream. Goldy has said the infamous Fourteen Words on air, a neo-Nazi slogan coined by the neo-Nazi group The Order, which murdered a Jewish radio host.
She appeared on a neo-Nazi podcast associated with the Daily Stormer after Charlottesville.
She said that the alt-right Charlottesville manifesto, including its position on the JQ (Jewish Question; that Jews don’t count as white people to the alt-right neo-Nazi movement), was well thought out.
She's called for Canada to return to being a "96% white, European country".
She's already been banned from the fundraising site Patreon and a number of other platforms for spreading hate.
This is not someone that I think Bell Media should be endorsing through allowing her to run advertising. I appreciate your consideration.
