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 and welcome to The Short Stuff.

I'm Josh.

There's Chuck.

There's Josh, the other Josh, who's now become our go-to guest producer.

And this is short stuff, enough about that.

Yeah, we fired Frank the chair and the little water dipping bird that pressed record, which

was our thing by.

Yeah, the bird really started to phone things in, don't you think?

I think so.

Chuck, speaking of phoning things in, imagine having to do public speaking.

I can't imagine what that must be like.

Do you remember?

I mean, we've done plenty of talks.

We've done live shows.

That's just kind of part of what we do.
