In Episode 6, we discuss very short essays, AKA \\u201cFlash,\\u201d a term and genre we have mixed feelings about. First we try to figure out what flash means, and then we discuss two (possibly) examples: Jamaica Kincaid\\u2019s \\u201cGirl\\u201d and Scott Latta\\u2019s \\u201cOn Sequencing.\\u201d Also: near-death experiences, we continue to demonstrate our ignorance of Canadian geography, Glenn Gould\\u2019s appearance in two different versions of Joy Williams\\u2019 essay \\u201cHawk,\\u201d Squirrel burgers, chicken grease coffee, which Muppets we\\u2019d be, and more.
