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.

The Premier League is back and, after our bumper season preview episode, so is the Indy Football Podcast!

Sports editor and host Ed Malyon is joined by London football correspondent Jack Pitt-Brooke as well as Evan Bartlett and Luke Brown to dissect an exciting start to the brand new season.

All of the weekend’s big matches are covered – including Chelsea’s shock loss to Burnley, Liverpool’s defensive horror show against Watford and Arsenal’s late comeback at home to Leicester.

And yes, we even find time to squeeze in some thoughts on Southampton’s goalless draw to Swansea, too.

That’s not to mention a full preview of the week ahead. Can Liverpool bounce back from their opening weekend draw to beat Hoffenheim in the Champions League playoff round first-leg?

We also answer a range of perceptive and intelligent questions from you, our perceptive and intelligent listeners.

Now the shameless flattery is out of the way: make sure you subscribe via iTunes or your favourite podcast app.
