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

So whether you're a grizzled veteran, litigating against a reach to records for past due cassette

royalties or else a scrappy upstart, hand numbering cassettes for your post punk emo album release.

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 3rd Friday of 2022 and I thank you for joining us.

This week's show is brought to you by Ban Zughal.

Built by musicians and for musicians, Ban Zughal 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 Vincienzo who drove a range rover

that had smurfs airbrushed on the hood for some reason and who was always trying to sell

you crushed up Vikaten in a fun dip bag.

An old Vincienzo 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 Ban Zughal.

Ban Zughal powers the websites of tens of thousands of musicians around the world from weekend

warriors to Grammy winners.
