Joe Perez on KUOW The Beat

“Plants shape our lives more than you might think. Next time on the Beat, we take a trip to the Washington Park Arboretum. Also, Seattle author Joe Perez tells us how Harvard, Sex, Drugs and Integral Philosophy drove him crazy and brought him back to God…”
I’m on KUOW The Beat… talking about Soulfully Gay, growing up in Washington, college life, my 20s lifestyle, 30s spiritual path as a seeker, finding an integral path, giving advice to queer youth.
Honestly, I’m rather disappointed with my experience on the show. Dave Beck is a wonderful interviewer, but he wasn’t conversant with most of the book. His questions focused on my biography … with is perfectly understandable because my book is marketed, after all, as a memoir. However, 20 minutes just didn’t give me enough time to get from my early childhood experiences through Harvard and into the present. I look at the show as a good learning experience if nothing else.
