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.

This week on The Indy Football Podcast we ask a simple question: is it really good for English football that Liverpool are currently so good?

Host Luke Brown is joined by Sports Editor Ben Burrows, Chief Football Writer Miguel Delaney and columnist Tony Evans to assess the state of the domestic game and beyond.

They dig into Miguel’s recent article ‘Liverpool’s incredible run deserves praise but manner of dominance provides concern for future of the game’ and analyse the heated debate it provoked.

The team also discuss the recent interview we published with Javier Tebas, which saw the president of La Liga criticise Fifa for their plans to expand the Club World Cup and also rail against the Spanish Football Federation’s decision to take the annual Super Cup to Saudi Arabia.

We also discuss whether the Premier League’s super clubs can realistically hope to remain part of the social fabric of the country given their increasingly global outlook. Listen to the pod below and download it from wherever you choose to do your business.
