(2-19-18) Earlier this month, I was interviewed by Psych Central hosts, Gabe Howard and Vincent M. Wales, for two podcasts. The first was posted February 8th. The second segment was posted on the PsychCentral webpage last week coincidently when our nation was reacting to the Florida school shooting. I felt a need to comment on that tragedy, so I decided to delay posting the second half of my conversation with Gabe and Vincent until today. In this segment, they ask me about my days as a reporter at the Washington Post – which out that section includes mild profanity – my novels and finally the subject about which I care the most – what all of us can do to demand better mental health care services. (You can learn more about Gabe here where he speaks briefly about his illness.)
Podcast: Part Two: More With Pulitzer Prize Finalist Pete Earley
Pete Earley returns to talk more about mental health advocacy and lots of other things. He tells of how he came to co-author a book with Jessie Close and talks of his days writing his own spy novels and several books with former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich. He also shares stories from his days as a reporter with the Washington Post, including being part of a “special” squad of reporters. Pete shares some information on some of his forthcoming books and projects, and finally, he advises everyone of what we can do to help advocate for mental health in our own ways.
