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.

Welcome to Stucky Should Know from Howstuffworks.com.

Hello everyone, happy Halloween.

That was Chuck there, not the wind.

No, but it is windy outside, as you can tell, and rainy and it's like kind of spooky.

Yes, but fortunately Chuck, we have a nice fire going here in our study.

It is very nice in here.

We're both wearing our best smoking jackets.

Yep, I like the oak woodwork.

He's done it with the place.

It's very nice.

I feel very comfortable.

And it feels like a room to read scary things in.

Well, that's precisely what we're about to do, Chuck.

Then we waited for a stormy night, too, which I think we've been waiting for like two weeks.

It's been really lovely weather.
