Weekender: Coups, Catholics and Kill Lists

By Charlie Barlow

Hello and welcome to the latest edition of Brazen Weekender! I'm Charlie, a producer at Project Brazen, and this is the newsletter where I share what the team has been watching, reading and listening to this week. It's been a wild week, with an assassination in New York, extensive protests in Georgia, martial law imposed in South Korea and a surprise counter-offensive sweeping through Syria. As well as sharing some of our favorite global coverage of these events, we've got a gritty podcast exploring the depths of the internet and a Papal drama on the big screen to share with you. Let's get stuck in!

This is a post for subscribers to Whale Hunting, a weekly newsletter and podcast delving into the hidden worlds of wealth and power from the team at Project Brazen.

This story is open to all and our work is available for free to anyone who signs up with their e-mail. But investigations like this aren't cheap.
