In this episode I speak with Dr. Trevor Tchir. Dr. Tchir is the Department Chair of Law and Politics at Algoma University in Ontario, Canada. He is also a talented musician, though we don't discuss that in the interview.   

NOTE: This is the last episode recorded with my old video chat platform. The video and audio quality leaves something to be desired, but the content is good. Thanks for understanding. I have changed to a better one since.  

Check out Trevor's impressions of Hannah Arendt:

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 & 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.

Aaron talks with Mark Sargent. Mark is a flat earth believer. He created the popular YouTube series, Flat Earth Clues which has convinced many in the movement. The discussions ranges from the spiritual effects of this controversial belief to the geopolitical conditions that would be necessary in the flat earth model of history.
