Hi and welcome to the Working Songwriter.

The show where today's best songwriters come to talk shop, I'm your host Joe Pug.

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
