You're going to be. 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 doing a Facebook live concert for your cult classic debut album from 1979 or else a scrappy upstart

doing a live stream to twitch while young gamers spew 4chan hate speech at you in the comments. This is your show.

Because ultimately, it is what every writer seeks most,

an ironclad excuse to put off actually writing.

Hey guys, it's the third Friday of May 2020 and I'm glad that you're here. Thanks for joining us.

anonymous masks emblazoned on it and who wouldn't like shut up about

something called the dark web the whole time that he was building your website and

old Dietrich would charge you about a thousand bucks for a website that would be obsolete in six months.

It's the future now. You guys, we don't have to deal with the Dietrich or the world anymore.

We have nice things. Banzougal is one of those nice things and it powers the

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