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

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.

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.
