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 has started to refer to yourself as a content

creator or else a scrappy upstart who has started to refer to yourself as an artisan.

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 second Friday of February 2022 and I thank you for joining us.

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

Built by musicians and for musicians, 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 Avi who drove a Hyundai Santa Cruz

with custom suicide doors and who's always trying to sell you sweet tarts that he claimed

were pay-outie buttons and old Avi would charge you about a thousand bucks for a website

that would be obsolete in six months but it's a future now you guys that's not how it works

anymore were 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.

All the features you need for a professional website are already built in.
