I'm going to Hi and welcome to the working songwriter. The show where today's best songwriters come to talk shop.

I'm your host, Joe Pug.

Each episode here, we host a distinguished guest and we ask them to go deep on their inspiration, on their process, on the general ups and downs of making a life in music.

So, whether you're a grizzled veteran,

listening to the mixes of your new album

in your Tesla Cyber Truck, or else a scrappy upstart,

listening to the new mixes through the Bluetooth

speaker at your barista job. This is your show because ultimately it is what

every writer seeks most an ironclad excuse to put off actually writing. Hey everybody it's the second Friday of October 2024 and I thank you for joining us. This week's show is brought to you

by Banzugal. Built by musicians and for musicians, Banzugal is an all in one

platform to build a beautiful website for your music. I'm old enough to remember

when you had to pay somebody called a web developer to get a website made. It would always

be some guy named Lefty who drove a converted airport shuttle bus that he had

spray-painted black and had put a futon in the back of and he was always

trying to sell you vitamin B pills that he claimed were masculine.

An old lefty would charge you about a thousand bucks

for a website that would be obsolete in six months.

But it's the future now, you guys.

That's not how it works anymore. We're allowed to have nice things now.

One of those nice things is Banzougal. For over 20 years, Banzougal has made it easy to build a stunning website and online store for your music.

Now they've added a brand new EPK plan

so that musicians can create a professional single-page electronic press kit in minutes.
