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

So, whether you're a grizzled veteran, spending your latest royalty advance on a Bored

APYOT club NFT, or else a scrappy upstart, screenshotting that same Bored AP for your profile

picture, this is your show.

Because ultimately, it is what every writer seeks most, an iron-clad excuse to put off

actually writing.

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

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

Banzugel 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 Philly who drove a Dodge Charger

with a vanity license plate from South Carolina that seemed to just be the short and spelling

for the word murderer.

An old Philly would charge you about a thousand dollars 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 Banzugel.

Banzugel powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the world from weekend

warriors to Grammy winners.
