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,

and the process on the general ups and downs of making a life in music.

So whether you're a guizzled veteran trying to barter your publishing rights for board

ape NFTs or else a scrappy upstart, trying to buy back your publishing from the indie

label in Des Moines that bought it in perpetuity for $600.

This is your show because ultimately it is what every writer seeks most and ironclad

excuse to put off, actually writing.

Hey everybody, it's the last Friday of July 2022 and I thank you for joining us.

This week's show is brought to you by Banzougal.

Built by musicians and four musicians, Banzougal 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 and it would always be some guy named Damien who drove a Mazda Miata with

spinning rims and who's always trying to sell you Prozac and sandwich bags even though

you thought they stopped making that in the late 90s.

An old Damien 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.
