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.

Hey everybody, I don't know if you've heard, but we have a book coming out.

Finally, finally, after all these years, it's great, it's fun, you're going to love it,

it's called Stuff You Should Know, colon, an incomplete compendium of mostly interesting things.

Yep, and it's 26 jam-packed chapters that we wrote with another guy named Nils Parker,

who's amazing and is illustrated amazingly by our illustrator, Carly Minardo.

And it's just an all-around joy to pick up and read.

Even though we haven't physically held our hands yet, it's like we have Chuck in our dream

so far.

I can't wait to actually see and hold this thing and smell it.

And so should you, so pre-order now, it means a lot to us.

The support is a very big deal, so pre-order anywhere books are sold.

Welcome to Stuff You Should Know.

A production of I Heart Radios has stuff works.

Hey, and welcome to the podcast.

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