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,

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

So whether you're a grizzled veteran, filing litigation against Napster 20 years too late

or else a scrappy upstart, filing litigation against Spotify 20 years too early.

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 first Friday of December 2022 and I thank you for joining us.

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

Built by musicians and four musicians, Banzugal 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 Mani who drove an Assuzu trooper

with incubus mud flaps and who was always trying to enmesh you in his multi-level marketing

scheme involving time shares in Galveston.

An old Mani 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.

This not how it works anymore, we're allowed to have nice things now.

One of those nice things is Banzugal.

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

warriors to Grammy winners.
