| 0:00.0 | Hi and welcome to the working songwriter. The show where today's best songwriters come |
| 0:20.2 | to talk shop. I'm your host, Joe Pug. Each episode here we host a distinguished guest |
| 0:26.9 | and we ask them to go deep on their inspiration, on their process, on the general ups and downs |
| 0:33.0 | of making a life in music. So, whether you're a grizzled veteran, trying to explain the 1960s |
| 0:40.2 | Greenwich Village Folk scene to your nephew, or else a scrappy upstart, trying to explain |
| 0:47.0 | the sound cloud wrappers with face tattoos to your uncle, this is your show. Because ultimately, |
| 0:53.0 | it is what every writer seeks most, an ironclad excuse to put off, actually writing. |
| 1:08.1 | Hey everybody, it's the first Friday of June 2021 and I thank you for joining us. This week's show |
| 1:14.1 | is brought to you by Banzougal. Built by musicians and four musicians, Banzougal is an all in one |
| 1:21.0 | platform to build a beautiful website for your music. I'm old enough to remember when you had |
| 1:25.8 | to pay somebody called a web developer to get a website made and it would always be some guy named |
| 1:31.4 | Benji, who drove a Toyota RAV4 Eddie Bauer edition with spinning rims, who was always trying to |
| 1:38.8 | sell you ever-clear packaged in deer park water bottles. An old Benji would charge you about a |
| 1:45.8 | thousand bucks for a website that would be obsolete in six months, but it's the future. Now you |
| 1:52.1 | guys, that's not how it works anymore, we're allowed to have nice things now. One of those nice |
| 1:57.7 | things is Banzougal. Banzougal powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the world |
| 2:04.3 | from weekend warriors to Grammy winners. All the features you need for a professional website |
| 2:10.2 | are already built in, hosting in a custom domain name, dozens of fully customizable design templates, |
