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.

The Afternoon Play (2.15pm R4) continues Mike Walker's impressive, four-part dramatic dissection of the feared FBI director, J Edgar Hoover, with an intense duologue between Hoover and Robert F Kennedy.
Mary Rodgers, daughter of Richard, helps tell The Rodgers and Hammerstein Story (10pm R2). She marshals an impressive herd of celebrities to talk about the ground-breaking instant classic, Oklahoma! Trevor Nunn (right) chips in.
