Hi. 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,

composing a soundtrack for the most violent video

game you have ever personally witnessed,

or else a scrappy upstart,

writing songs that will work best in an Instagram reel.

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 second Friday of April 2024 and I thank you for joining us. This week's show is brought to you by

Banzugel. Built by musicians and for musicians, Banzugel 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 who called himself Neo, who drove a Volkswagen Cabriolet with subs in the trunk and who always wore like a leather

duster jacket from the Matrix. An old Neo, or as he called himself, 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 for 20 years, Banzougal has made it easy to build a stunning website for your music.

Now they've added a brand new EPK plan so that musicians can create a professional single page electronic press kit in minutes.

Everything you need is already built in.

Fully customizable templates, preset EPK page layouts, music players, images, text bio, video embeds, gig calendar, press quotes, everything.
