An interview series about disappointment and disappointing people. Hosted by Cailen Pygott, with the help of his friends, Let You Down explores how it feels when you aren’t able to have your expectations met and when you can’t measure up yourself.
Hi, I usually try to write these bios in the third person but not today. My friendship with Sam Stirling is the longest lasting friendship of my life. I would not be the person I am today without his humour and kindness. Thank you for listening to season 2 of Let You Down, this felt like the most appropriate way to end it.
xoxo

Would you be shocked to find out your host is a recovering theatre kid? Would you want to hear an interview with one of his first theatre instructors? Well good because that's what you're getting. Dustin Harvey describes himself as an artist who works hard to develop projects that speak both to him and others about the beauty found in a shared experience. He's here to talk about creativity, collaboration and belly dancing.
Describing herself as "professionally clumsy" Jessie Brown is a powerhouse vocalist and an A-1 friend. After a whirlwind worldwide year she has settled down as a vocal coach in New Zealand. But before that there were bar bands, tour nightmares, and Pantera t-shirts. This is the first episode of Let You Down to be recorded remotely in separate locations and I bet you wouldn't have even noticed if I didn't tell you just now and sever...
Kim Carson is a musician, a visual artist, a business owner and one of the funniest people ever. She's here to talk about growing up ~not in a cult~ and finding your people.

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.

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.

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.

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 ki...
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

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.
