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

So, whether you're a grizzled veteran trying to write an algorithm that will write songs

for you or else a scrappy upstart, trying experimental drugs so your subconscious will write

songs for you, this is your show because ultimately it is what every writer seeks most

and iron-clad excuse to put off, actually writing.

Hey, everybody, it's the third Friday of August 2022 and I thank you for joining us.

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

Built by musicians and four musicians, Banzougl 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 Arlo who drove a Subaru Impraza

with a Skrillex bumper sticker and who's always trying to cut you in on a fraud scheme that

involved coin-star machines.

An old Arlo 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 Banzougl.

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

warriors to Grammy winners.
