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, designing album covers on mid-journey to avoid paying

somebody or else a scrappy upstart, designing album covers on mid-journey to avoid having

to speak to somebody.

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 fourth Friday of June 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, it would always be some guy named Tad who drove a Suzuki sidekick with a

bumper sticker for the 80s hair metal band warrant and who was always trying to sell you

nutritional supplements that he claimed would stoke your libido.

An old Tad 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.
