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, a production of I Heart Radio's House Stuff Works.

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

Indeed.

And two, we realize that the whole concept of free-range parenting that will follow is

comes from a place of extreme privilege to be able to entertain the idea of free-range

parenting comes from a place of extreme privilege.

Okay.

Can I amend that or should I wait until we talk about that part to kind of amend it?

No, you can amend it.
