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 who refuses to use auto tune in the studio or else a scrappy

upstart, who refuses to listen to their own voice in playback unless it has been processed

by like a dozen plugins, 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 first Friday of October 2021 and I thank you for joining us.

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

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 Landr who drove a Mitsubishi

outlandr with an avenged seven-fold bumper sticker who is always trying to sell you

shots of Southern Comfort that he had portioned into Dessani bottles and Old Landr 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.

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

warriors to Grammy winners.
