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.

Hi there, it's Josh Clark, one half of stuff you should know.

And I'm here to present our episode on the Electoral College, a convoluted, flawed system,

one that's shown its inherent problems in the last couple decades.

In fact, the Electoral College is frequently cited as the most undemocratic aspect of our democracy.

I hope our episode on it gives you a good picture of it and hopefully charges you up to vote

because our ability to vote is not only a right, it's an imperative.

So please vote this November and anytime you have a chance to vote.

Because that's how America moves forward.

Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of I Heart Radio's How Stuff Works.

Hey and welcome to The Podcast.

I'm Josh Clark, there's Charles W. Chuck Bryant and you put us together, a couple of microphones,

some cameras.

You get something called Stuff You Should Know.

Cameras, yeah.

You talking about it?
