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.AS A NATION wakes to find out whether playing the heritage card has worked at this year's Oscars, Zoe Ball (6.30am R1) talks us through the Hollywood shebang live from LA, where a post-ceremony party is in full swing.
While still a stripling, the novelist Louis de Bernieres was greatly impressed by a recording of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk Wood. The Afternoon Play (2.15pm R4), Sunday Morning at the Centre of the World, is his bizarre tribute in kind: an evocation of the inner lives of those in Earlsfield, south London, "almost sunny, always grubby". The "characters" include Death-Wish Debbie, Thrombotic Bert and the experiment doesn't quite translate.
