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, hiding your steely Dan records to make younger musicians

think that you're cool or else a scrappy upstart, prominently displaying your steely Dan

records to impress the old heads.

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

excuse to put off, actually writing.

Hey everybody, it's the second Friday of February 2021 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 Emil who for some reason drove a

Chevy Astro that was only painted with body shop primer and who was always trying to sell

you jewel vape pods that he claimed were laced with ketamine and Emil would charge you

about a thousand bucks for a website that would be obsolete in six months.

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.

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

warriors to Grammy winners.
