There's so much news happening around the world that we're somehow supposed to stay on top of.

That's why we launched The Big Take.

It's a daily podcast from Bloomberg and I Heart Radio that turns down the volume a bit

to give you some space to think.

I'm Wes Kosova.

Each weekday I dig into one important story and talk about why it matters.

Listen to The Big Take on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you listen.

Welcome to Stuff You Should Know from House stuffworks.com.

I'm Josh Clark and there's Charles W. Chuck Bryant and there's Jerry over there.

This is Stuff You Should Know about breaking news, colon, Dika.

I'm like, is that surely things have changed enough then?

I want the newest numbers.

Give them to me who and they're like, let us go.
