On today’s Big Take podcast, host Sarah Holder talks to Bloomberg Opinion columnist Allison Schrager, labor activist Bertha “Mama Cookie” Bradley and Distinguished Professor of Law Joan C. Williams about the moving target of defining and catering policy to working Americans.

Zak explores the prospect for a player-owned LIV 2.0 and looks at whether the upstart tour was ultimately good for professional golf.

On today’s Big Take podcast, John Authers joins Stacey Vanek Smith to explain what surging bond yields mean for interest rates and why we could be seeing a correction, not a crisis.
