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 everybody, it's me Josh and for this week's S.Y.S. case selection I've chosen how cremation works.

It came out back in August of 2010 and at the time death was a very hot topic.

So please forgive us if we seem a little irreverent, a little over-enthusiastic when we're talking about this.

But it's a really interesting episode and I still stand by it today.

Hope you enjoy.

Hey and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh Clark.

It's smell worse than mayonnaise I ever did.

Or mayonnaise.

Burning mayonnaise would be particularly bad if you had hair on top of it.
