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,

completely flummoxed by two-factor authentication

for your Tik-Toc account, or else a scrappy upstart,

completely flummoxed by how to write a middle 8.

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 August 2024 and I thank you for joining us this week show is brought to you by

Banzugel built by musicians and for musicians 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 Chad who was driving a Trans Am with tinted windows and who was always trying to sell

you Salvia that you would smoke out of a bent Coke can.

And Tad, or Chad, 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.
