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.MARTIN JARVIS, who has now recorded some 100 of Richmal Crompton's stories, reads "April Fool's Day" in Just William (9.45am R4FM), as part of a series marking the 80th anniversary of the character's first appearance. It contains a line that seems to sum up the eternal frustration of childhood: "I don't think there's a single place left to play in England which hasn't got a house next to it, nor ready to make a fuss the minute your ball goes into its garden."
With their hit single "Mulder and Scully" sounding more dated by the hour, Catatonia (right) headline Radio 1's weekend in London in Lamacq Live (7pm R1).
Sound Stories (11am R3) this week focuses on cathedrals, beginning with Canterbury.
