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 everyone, it's Josh and for this week's Selective Chosen our 2017 episode How Champagne Works.

It's a charming little episode that fair warning will almost certainly make you want a glass of champagne.

Unless you're Chuck, though I suspect he secretly did too.

Enjoy. Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of I Heart Radio.

Hey and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Pierre Clark. There's Charles Jacques Bryant.

Jerry Shelley. Oh nice. Rowland. Are we allowed to tell everyone your last name, Jerry?

Yeah. I am worried about this one. I'm just going to go ahead and say it. Oh, why? You were worried about the wine one for the same reasons?

We didn't do the wine one. I know that's why. Yeah. That's exactly why.

No, it's the same reason. Exactly for those reasons because... Totally fine man.

No one knows anything about champagne. People spend lifetimes learning this stuff.

Yes, but we have a show and everyone knows that we don't spend a lifetime learning about all we talk about,

that we just do our research and we try to find the most interesting stuff to explain how something works.
