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 Kossova.

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,

Global Business News 24 hours a day at Bloomberg.com, the Radio Plus Mobile app, and on your radio.

This is a Bloomberg Business Flash.

And I'm Karen Moscow.
