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, reading in-depth articles on studio power conditioners

or else a scrappy upstart, just purchasing a $7 ground lift.

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

as an excuse to put off, actually writing.

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

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

But 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 and it would always be some guy named Zander who drove a Honda element

with a custom paint job of like Aztec warriors on it, even though he had zero cultural

connection.

And he was always trying to sell you candy buttons that he claimed were peyote.

An old Zander 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 Banzugel.
