'georgia's brother picking up a streaker?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'brother picking up a streaker?' is the wordplay.
'brother' becomes 'br' (abbreviation in titles of monks).
'picking up' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a streaker?' becomes 'are' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'br' placed around 'are' is 'BARER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for barer that I've seen is " Stripper".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
