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.CONVINCED that Russia will define the new century as much as it has done the last, the writer Philip Marsden decided to head for its "fraying southern border" in search of forgotten radicals. In the steppe, he met The Spirit Wrestlers (9.45am R4FM) - a sect which survived Tsarist and Communist persecution with austere principles intact.
In "Doctors of Philosophy", this week's Postscript: (8.40pm R3), the novelist Alain De Botton (right) will be "consulting" the great thinkers about everyday problems. He starts with Epicurus, on the subject of cash-flow crises.
The Late Book - If It Moves... Kill 'Em (12.30am R4) cuts a useful swathe through David Weddle's biography of the film-maker Sam Peckinpah.
