I (Aaron) talk with Howard Bloom as he walks through Prospect Park on his daily constitutional.  Howard is The former publicist for top tier artists such as Prince, the Talking Heads and Simon and Garfunkel. He's also the author of many books including the upcoming, Einstein, Michael Jackson &amp; Me: A Search for Soul in the Power Pits of Rock and Roll.   Howard is a unique thinker whose perspectives don't seem conform to any one ideology or creed. His perspective inevitably throws a new spin on any subject. He allowed me to interview him only if I could record a WhatsApp video call, which makes this a unique experience.  We discuss sex, the ecstatic experience, and an atheist view of divinity.   Howard's latest book: https://www.amazon.ca/Einstein-Michael-Jackson-Me-Search/dp/1493051679
