First episode recorded in Kyiv. February 27, 2022.

Most podcast hosts are in a studio. Outriders reporters were in Kyiv, Istanbul, the Darien Gap, and Armenian hospitals.

Every story looked at what was broken — and what was being fixed. The world from the perspective of those solving its problems.
