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,

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

So whether you're a grizzled veteran doing a Reddit AMA that your millennial publicist

made you do or else a scrappy upstart, doing an Instagram live that no one tuned into,

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

excuse to put off, actually writing.

Hey everybody, it's the last Friday of August 2021 and I thank you for joining us.

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

Built by musicians and foreign musicians, Banzookl 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 Orion who drove a Dodge Viper with

an Avici bumper sticker on the back of it and who is always trying to sell you Portuguese

ketamine.

An old Orion 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 Banzookl.

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

warriors to Grammy winners.
