This year, the Australian music industry has faced its reckoning over poor treatment of women inside record labels and more broadly.

A forensic focus on the culture in Australian music began in April when a senior executive at Sony Music was fired after an investigation into allegations of bullying and harassment against him – claims which he denies.The culture within Sony Music was revealed in a series of stories by The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, which lead to an internal review at the label.

Now, after months of pressure from the media and survivors, the industry is turning the spotlight on itself and has announced a wide-ranging review.Please Explain host Nathanael Cooper has been covering this issue all year. He joins Rachel Clun to bring us the latest.
