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.

DURING THE long stretch of Lamacq Live (8pm R1), there's a live set from the exquisite Faithless, while for the serious-minded, "Essential Albums of the Nineties" continues with a look at Nevermind, the grunge masterpiece from Nirvana (right). Steve Lamacq talks to the album's producer Butch Vig, and gauges its influence - according to Noel Gallagher, it's "the only record that's ever got close to sounding like Never Mind the Bollocks.

There's a punkish spirit abroad in Postscript (9.40pm R3), when Patrick Wright tries to counter the predictable noises of contemporary cultural debate by hearing from genuine outsiders. He begins with the Paris-based poet Douglas Oliver.
