Welcome back to the grand experiment we call Just a Little Beyond the Headlines! Our last episode did well enough that we get to keep this thing going for another three days—so if you’re enjoying it, do us a favor and hit that like and share button.

If you’re new around here, this show is basically an offshoot of The Daily Brief. Over there, we end each episode with quick tidbits—those extra headlines that didn’t make it into the main news. And because some stories deserve more than just a quick mention, we’ve rounded them up here.

But don’t worry, we won’t just regurgitate headlines. You’ll get that one extra insight you can’t glean from a cursory scroll through the news. That’s why we’re calling it Just a Little Beyond the Headlines—because, well, it is.

Oh, and we’re keeping it neat with the EIC format: E for Economy, I for Industry, C for Company. Think of it as your daily coverage from the big-picture stuff to the nitty-gritty corporate moves.
