The veteran broadcaster on trial for assault

The trial of one of the most influential figures in Australian media history began this week, when Alan Jones walked into a Sydney courtroom facing six complainants, 22 charges, and a trial that could span several months. 

It comes after years of pre-trial fighting and multiple rounds of charges being dropped.

Hosts: Emma Gillespie and Sam Koslowski
