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, eating steak tartar on your private jet, or else a scrappy upstart, treating yourself to business select on your Southwest flight out of Tampa.

This is your show, because ultimately it is what every writer seeks most, an ironclad excuse to put off actually writing.

Music most, an ironclad excuse to put off actually writing. Hey, everybody, it's the third Friday of November 2024, and I thank you for joining us. This week's show is brought to you by Ban Zougal.

Built by musicians and for musicians, Ban Zougal 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.

It would always be some guy named Lucky who drove a PT cruiser with a Chumbawumba bumper sticker

and who was always trying to sell you pirated copies of Gattaca on a burned DVD.

An old Lucky 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.

For over 20 years, Banzugal has made it easy to build a stunning website and online store for your music.

Now they've added a brand new EPK plan so that musicians can create a professional single-page

electronic press kit in minutes. Everything you need is already built in. Music players, images,

text bio, video embeds, a gig calendar, press quotes, and access to

Ban Zougal's award-winning support team seven days a week.
