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,

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

So whether you're a grizzled veteran, rerecording a solo acoustic version of your album to juice

your Spotify numbers or else a scrappy upstart, rerecording an acoustic version of your album

to boost your TikTok numbers.

This is your show because ultimately it is what every writer seeks most and ironclad

excuse to put off, actually writing.

Hey everybody, it's the third Friday of January 2023 and I thank you for joining us.

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

Built by musicians and four musicians, Banzougal 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 Todd with one D who drove one of

those Land Rovers that says discovery on the back and who was always trying to sell

you cheat codes to call of duty for hundreds of dollars.

An old Todd with a D 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.
