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.Four-cassette audio novels are much more than twice as good as two cassette ones and much less than twice the price. Happily there seems to be a distinct shift in favour of these meatier abridgements. Elizabeth George's Deception on His Mind (Hodder, 6hrs, pounds 11.99) is a classic English detective thriller with plenty of red herrings and a totally unexpected climax. Read with chameleonic flair by Derek Jacobi.
Intergalactic truth seems a lot stranger than fiction. Improvisations with duck tape saved the day for the jinxed fifth American mission to the moon. At a time when our sympathies are with the Russian astronauts in the Mir spaceship, the faction tale of Apollo 13 (Hodder, 3hrs, pounds 8.99) makes heart-stopping listening. Kerry Shale reads with all the laconic boy scout heroism that Tom Hanks and company provided in the movie.
