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.

Hello friends, we have a book coming out finally and it is awesome.

You're going to make me say the title again?

Yeah.

Fine.

It's stuff you should know, colon, an incomplete companion of mostly interesting things and

get this chuck.

You don't have to wait to order until the book comes out.

You can do what we in the book bizz call pre-ordering it.

And then when it does come out, you'll be the first to get or among the first.

Well, and not only that, you get a pre-order gift.

You get this cool custom poster from the illustrator of the book, Carly Monardo, who is awesome.

We worked with another great writer who helped us out with this thing.

A great deal.

His name is Nils Parker and it was just a big team effort and it's really, really cool.

We love how it's turning out.
