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 rizzled veteran, trying to sell your mint condition copy of Rubber

Soul for $50,000 or else a scrappy upstart, trying to sell an NFT of you playing wild

thing on an out-of-tune guitar for $1 million, 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 third Friday of May 2021 and I thank you for joining us.

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

Built by musicians and four musicians, Banzougl 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 Benji who drove a Mitsubishi Galant

with a deglo spoiler and who's always trying to sell you Ambian that he had packaged in

fruit by the foot canisters.

An old Benji 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.

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

warriors to Grammy winners.
