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 Disshterry.

Let's get reading.

Yeah, this year we decided to do a little shorty Halloween too because you know we did our

short stuff on Ambrose Beers.

I started poking around his short stories and he wrote some super short ones that are

kind of tailor made for this I think.

Yeah, it's almost like he was born in the 19th century thinking one day Josh and Chuck

are going to have short stuff.

I want to give them something to work with.

Maybe so.

So to prepare everyone for our Halloween spooktacular which will be out tomorrow we want

to do this.

That's right.

Chuck, you want to start?
