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.Listening to Blair Brown's cool, calm and collected reading of Michael Crichton's latest nailbiting technothriller Airframe (Random House, 4hrs, pounds 11.99) made a dawn drive from Oxford to Newcastle pass in a flash. The way back was spent equally enjoyably with John Shrapnel's vivid evocation of the eccentric but intensely attractive characters of Arthur Quiller Couch's True Tilda (Hodder, 2hrs, pounds 7.99).
"But where do we get these tapes?" you write. Any good bookshop now keeps audiobooks and should be able to order for you. The Talking Bookshop at 11 Wigmore Street, London W1, is a mecca for audio converts; Harrods has listening booths. Libraries are a cheap way of hearing the full length ones. Finally, the Talking Book Club (0171 731 6262) has a hire service which includes an excellent and constantly updated catalogue.
