On Monday morning, news broke that well-known broadcaster Alan Jones had been arrested at his home in Sydney over alleged indecent assaults. Later in the day, police announced that he’d been charged with 24 offences. It follows an investigation by the Sydney Morning Herald into Jones last year. At the time, he denied those allegations. In today's podcast, we explain who Jones is, what police have said and why this story matters.
