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 trying trying to revamp your Screamo career

as a silver-templed roots music artist, or else a scrappy upstart, trying to revamp your high

school backpack rapping group as an art school noise project. 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 third Friday of March 2022, and I thank you for joining us.

This week's show is brought to you by Banzugal, built by musicians and four musicians.

Whoa!

Banzugal 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 Trevor who drove a GMC safari van

with chain link grates around the windows and who was always trying to sell you

emotium tablets that he claimed were Vicodin.

And old Trevor 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 Banzugal.

Banzugal powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the world, from

weekend warriors to Grammy winners.
