- Trump Called The Ref. Lagos Couldn't Get In.Grant and Miles break down FIFA's stunning reversal of Folarin Balogun's red card after a Trump phone call, then trace how that fast fix contrasts with months of unresolved visa denials for African and Iranian fans at the same tournament.
- Nine Teams and Africa Still Gets $200 MillionNine of ten African nations just made the World Cup knockout stage, shattering every record in tournament history. Grant and Miles break down what it actually means from Lagos, Dakar, and Kinshasa, and why the money still flows the wrong way.
- The World Cup Nobody Can Get IntoThe 2026 FIFA World Cup is underway, but for billions of fans across Africa, the Middle East, and Latin America, the tournament started at the visa office. Grant and Miles break down how US immigration enforcement became the biggest story of the world's biggest sporting event.
- Nobody Asked NairobiThe G7 just wrapped in Évian with no joint communiqué for the second year running. Grant and Miles break down what Kenya, Brazil, and India actually walked away with, whether the critical minerals push is development or just extraction with better branding, and what the summit's silence on aid cuts looks like from the places that depend on them.

- The Climate Bill Nobody Wants to PayThe Loss and Damage Fund is making its first real payouts in 2026, but with pledges running short and the World Bank holding the keys, Grant and Miles examine whether the architecture built at COP27 can actually deliver for the communities that need it most before COP31 opens in Antalya.
- Invited, Not IncludedThe G7 is bringing India, Kenya, and Brazil to Évian on June 15 — as guests, not members. Grant and Miles break down what Nairobi and New Delhi actually want from the room, why South Africa got quietly uninvited, and whether a seat without a vote changes anything.
- India Is Chairing the Dollar's Funeral. Or Is It?With the New Delhi BRICS Summit set for September 2026, de-dollarization has moved from slogans to actual payment infrastructure. Grant and Miles dig into BRICS Pay, the gold-backed Unit, and what smaller economies in Africa and Southeast Asia actually face when the financial plumbing gets rebuilt around them.
- Nobody Asked the Six BillionThe G7 heads to Évian in three weeks, but the 6 billion people not in that room have their own agenda. Grant and Miles break down what Nairobi, New Delhi, and São Paulo actually need from this summit — and why the gap between what gets agreed and what gets delivered keeps widening.
- Who Pays When America Raises TariffsWhen the US restructured its tariff regime, the biggest losers weren't China or the EU. UNCTAD's latest data shows tariffs on least-developed countries rose 18 percent in 2025, and the countries that got hit hardest, Lesotho, Bangladesh, Cambodia, Madagascar, had almost nothing to do with the trade imbalances Washington said it was fixing.
About
What the show is
Trade wars, tech regulation, military conflicts, climate policy. When the US or Europe makes a move, billions of people feel the consequences long before CNN books a panel about it. Outside In covers what happened, who it affects, and how it looks from Lagos, Jakarta, São Paulo, and Delhi. Built for globally curious listeners who are tired of hearing about the world through a single lens.
