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.

Hello Australia, hello New Zealand.

We're coming to see you.

That's right.

Are you psyched?

I'm psyched man.

I'm ready to encounter all the deadly animals that are going to be in our way.

I'm ready to hug a koala bear by a giant knife.

I'm ready to play a didgeridoo.

Yeah.

What other weird tropes can we talk about?

Well, we could probably drink a few oil cans of foster, the national beer down there.

Maybe a slab.

I can't wait to get beat up by everybody for saying all the stupid stuff that we've said

over the years.

Alright everyone, we're super excited years in the making.
