Weekender: Ayatollahs, Islands and Foreign Influence

By Megan Dean

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of Brazen Weekender! I'm Megan, a producer at Project Brazen, and this is the newsletter sharing our team's top picks for what to watch, read and listen to this week. Today, I've got a new movie to share about a legendary war photographer, a podcast about Iran's succession, and some interesting stories on bribery, foreign influence, and recent geopolitical news. Let's get into it!

This is a post for subscribers to Whale Hunting, where every single week you get multiple insights into the hidden worlds of money and power.
