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.

UNDER THE banner "A Beginner's Guide to the Stone Age", anthropologist Richard Rudgley - best known for his pioneering work on drug use in the ancient world - argues that Stone Age people were more sophisticated than we give them credit for. Rudgley discusses all this with Lorraine Kelly (11am Talk Radio). Oddly, this show sits in the middle of "English Day" on Talk Radio; highlights include Scott Chisholm (9am Talk Radio) quizzing Jeremy Paxman on Englishness, and Mike Allen (10pm Talk Radio) looking at what makes the perfect English gentleman. Gentleman and keen violinist Sherlock Holmes (right) is the last fictional character to be examined in this week's Sound Stories (11am R3).
