This is the first episode of "Shoot the Messenger: Espionage, Murder and Pegasus Spyware" from PRX & Exile Content Studio.  It is scary stuff! A new serialized, investigative-reporting podcast that does deep dives on international news stories that warrant an investigation. This first episode asks, "What really happened to the murdered Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi?"

How did the spyware come to be, how does it work, and just how vulnerable are you?
