I’m fed up, stressed out, beat down and you know what? I wanna be sedated. A Quiet Time Podcast looks like just the tonic.

“Hidy ho, neighbor!” host Terry Tee says in greeting, and already I’m soothed by the soundtrack of restful acoustic guitar and yes, chirping birds.

“We’re going to bring just the thing to help you relax and take a little stress from your life. So sit back and listen to great music,” Terry continues. It’s working, too, and I’m imagining the tension draining out through the soles of my feet, like I read in a book somewhere. Listen to those chirping birds!

That’s just before I’m blasted out of my seat by Terry’s featured band, Paul Collins’ Beat, fronted by punkster Paul Collins, who used to tour with the Ramones! Guess I asked for that one, after all.

Roll call

And then there’s the little matter of the artist introductions. I always know when somebody’s reading a list of names, and then they get to my name, because all of a sudden there’s this long pause, while they’re trying to figure out how to pronounce Turetzky.

“Today we have…Josephine…Randall Shreve…John Orr Franklin,” Terry begins. “Emily Hope Price…Vishaun Kistan…Ken…(here it comes!) Kerr…(pause to regroup before attacking the final syllables) zick-y!”

A congenial host, Terry enthusiastically reads excerpts from my bio. Then he tries my name again. “In our No. 7 spot, we have Ken…Kerr-etz-ky and Her Shit Don’t Stink!”

And that just about wraps up another episode of A Quiet Time Podcast, which Terry produces three times a week, primarily featuring music from the Podsafe Music Network.

“Give us a call on our toll-free comment line,” Terry reminds his wide-awake listeners, “at 866-270-BEER!“
