Radio: Pick of the Day
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.GRAEME GARDEN'S series of medicine-related humour, What's the Bleeding Time? (1pm R2), comes to a close with a number of psychiatry sketches. Athough an obvious subject for double-acts (there are samples of Fry and Laurie and the Two Ronnies), there are some solo gems, including a typically monomaniacal riff from Jackie Mason.
The highlight of Radio 3's day is Opera on 3 (6.30pm). Janacek's Katya Kabanova, conducted by Charles Mackerras with the New York Metropolitan Opera, has Catherine Malfitano in the none-too-gentle lead.
Still No Truce (12.25am R4) is a very welcome repeat of the thoughts on faith of Anglo-Welsh poet RS Thomas (right).
