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 Stuff You Should Know, a production of I Heart Radio's House Stuff Works.

Hey and welcome to the podcast.

I'm Josh Clark and there's Charles W. Chuck Bryan over there and Jerry's over there somewhere

and this stuff you should know.

So Chuck, I know to my astonishment that you were not alive during the Bay of Pigs invasion.
