Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The "companion piece" to Break it Yourself, recorded in response to enthusiasm for the "old-time" segment of his live show.
Old time? Yes and no. Oldness manifests in the way, in Bird's hands, the past appears to mist the present and in stark arrangements in which things fit together like ghosts blending in cold rooms. But actually, for all Bird's reverence for American rural music of the past, Hands is startlingly contemporary. Spook yourself.
