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, doing a benefit live stream for the roadies on your

crew or else a scrappy upstart, doing a benefit live stream for your cousin that would

sometimes sell merch after your gigs for you, 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 last Friday of October 2020 and I thank you for joining us.

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

Built by musicians and for 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. It was terrible. It'd always be some guy named Grayson, who drove a tan

Honda Element with a seven Mary three bumper sticker on it, who always tried to sell you

flavored tobacco that he said you could smoke out of a

cord out apple. And old Grayson would charge you about a thousand bucks for a website that would

be obsolete in like 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 Banzugal.

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

weekend warriors to Grammy winners.

All the features you need for a professional website are already built in.
