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 and there's a chuck out over there and Jerry's hanging around somewhere and this

is short stuff about Vanta Black, which is pretty cool.

It is and it's funny.

I never really thought about variations of black until a couple of years ago when we

finally were able to professionally renovate our house and not just have me do it poorly.

Because I wanted my upstairs office to be black because it's got lots of windows and

tons of light until it wouldn't have that dungeon like feel even if it were black.

I didn't know how many blacks there were to choose from until I started looking.

It was really interesting.

Yeah, there's a ton and actually if you wanted to go super duper black chuck it would have

cost you a pretty penny.

Had you been like, I'm going to paint this whole thing in Vanta Black because that's

some expensive stuff.

Yeah, I don't think you can buy it, can you?
