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 Chuck and there's Jerry and this is short stuff so let's get to it.

All right.

The War of Jenkins Ear which there's a lot of misnomer's in this war because first of

all the War of Jenkins Ear was not called that until a hundred and ten years later.

Is that right?

Yeah and essayist, well it's his name Thomas Carlisle, dubbed it The War of Jenkins Ear a hundred

and ten years later and what it really was was just a part of a larger war, the War of

Austrian secession.

Yeah.

Succession right?
