Let You Down

It's the season finale y'all! Trying something new here Emmy Alcorn is the Artistic Director of Mulgrave Road Theatre and Ian Pygott, now retired, served a long tenure as the technical director of Festival Antigonish. Thirty two years ago they embarked on a long-term collaboration resulting in the creation of this very podcast. They're my parents is what I'm trying to get across.   Our theme song is by j. Strautman Our artwork is by Izra Fitch Featuring music by Diane Alcorn Promotional consideration by No, It's Fine. Thank you to Mulgrave Road Theatre Let You Down will return. I promise.

Less of an interview and more of a love letter from one Pisces to another. Art Ross is a singer, songwriter, teacher and good pal. Ugh like truly they're just the best. You listen you'll see.

Part two of the "friends who saved me" duology of Let You Down episodes features a conversation with Uncle Laura Fraser. You know how sometimes people are bad eggs or good eggs? Well Laura is probably the best egg of them all. Listen and find out more. Our theme song is by j. Strautman Our artwork is by Izra Fitch Featuring music by The Attempted Murder of Laura Jean Thank you to Mulgrave Road Theatre P.S Duology is a pretty fancy word for a podcast like this, how about a like and subscribe because of how impressed you are by it?

It's a two-part episode y'all! Well, sort of. Kind of. The intro explains it a little better it just feels really good to say "two-part episode" like we're a real podcast now. In part one Cailen sits down with Daniel Walker: future teacher and mastermind behind literary folk band Owen Meany's Batting Stance for a conversation about how great the film Never Been Kissed is, among other things.   Our theme song is by j. Strautman Our artwork is by Izra Fitch Featuring music from the OMBS album Feather Weights Thank you to Mulgrave Road Theatre

This week Cailen sits down with Tara Thorne. Self described as a recovering journalist and permanently under-employed person Tara is also a friggin' Titan of the Halifax art scene and also ALSO the writer+director of the film Compulsus. Sometimes the institutions you've given so much of your time to fail you. Sometimes you fail yourself. Sometimes your cat refuses to be quiet during a podcast taping. Luckily, Let You Down is the kind of podcast that will never edit out a cat of any kind. Featuring music by Dance Movie Our theme song was composed by j. Strautman Artwork by Izra Fitch

In the very first *proper* episode of Let You Down Cailen is joined by punk rock extraordinaire (dare I say Icon?) Matty Grace. Parents, songwriting, fitting into the music industry it's all in here folks. You can listen to Matty's band Cluttered pretty much anywhere Our them song was composed by J. Strautman Our artwork is by Izra Fitch Featuring the song Repeating Numbers from Matty Grace's Dysphoria City Limits You can follow Cailen on Instagram AND Twitter

In episode one of Let You Down Cailen walks you through the first times he was ever disappointed and disappointed someone else. It's like an extended preview of whats to come and a bit of a mission statement. This isn't going to be a lore heavy podcast by any means but you'd be missing out if you skipped this.
