Hi. 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 using Ozempeck to lose 30 pounds before your

reunion tour, or else a scrappy upstart.

30 pounds underweight because you've been living on dinty more in cigarettes.

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 last Friday of October 2024 and I thank you for joining us

this week show is brought to you by Banzougal.

Built by musicians and for musicians, Banzougal 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 Benny who drove a Dodge Charger that he made everyone call King Snake

and who is always trying to trade you the answer key to AP chemistry tests in exchange

for not telling the police his whereabouts.

And old Benny 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 Banzougal. For over 20 years, Banzougal 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 Banzougal's award-winning support team
