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, trying to fit back into

the spandex tights that you wore in your 1985 arena tour, or else a scrappy upstart, trying to

purchase an ironic t-shirt from that tour at Urban Outfitters, 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 first Friday of February 2021, and I thank you for joining us.

This week's show is brought to you by Ban Zougal, built by musicians and for musicians.

Ban Zougal 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 Sasha who drove a Honda Civic with with

scissors doors that opened vertically like a Lamborghini and who always tried to sell you

CBD oil that he had packaged in five alive cartons.

And old Sasha 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 Banzuchel.

Banzugal powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the world from

weekend warriors to Grammy winners.

Everything that you need for a professional website is already built in.
