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 and this is Short Stuff and it's a very solemn edition of Short Stuff in fact.

That's right.

Recently in real time and semi-recently in podcast time,

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away on September 18th.

I think she deserves a full show on her, which we'll get around to.

Absolutely.

But she died at 87 from complications from pancreatic cancer.

And after serving for 27 more than 27 years on the Supreme Court, she became the first

woman in American history to lie in state in the US Capitol building.

Yeah. On Friday, September 25th, like you said, our time is a little off.

But as we're recording now, that's tomorrow.

She will be the first woman to ever lie in state.

And people will be able to visit and they will hold a whole ceremony that we'll talk about.
