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.Africa is the shape of an African elephant's ear; India that of an Indian elephant. Heathcote Williams's Sacred Elephant (Naxos, 2hrs 30mins, pounds 7.99) tells you of all elephants in fact, fiction and folk lore, and will have you chucking away anything ivory you ever owned and running straight off to the World Wild Life Fund waving your chequebook.
Originally broadcast in the mid 1980s, Jarvis's Frayn (BBC, 2hrs, pounds 7.99) was one of those happy couplings which rapidly became cult listening. Jarvis is the most outstandingly versatile of all audio readers, coping as easily with being all the guests at an Elizabethan cocktail party as with putting over a claustrophobic family car journey.
