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.
Your support makes all the difference.CIVIL ENGINEERING'S low media profile gets a lift with Ground Control (9pm R4). The first of four programmes on technology at work in major projects goes to the Cardiff Bay Barrage, intended to create a big freshwater lagoon without interfering with the eco-system.
The Archers seems to spawn playwrights: Following in the footsteps of William Gaminara, Tim Bentinck (right) - David Archer - has a play about school misery and revenge in tonight's New Radio (11.30pm R4).
It's a little puzzling that Mervyn Stutter's male menopause sitcom with songs, Love 40 - New Balls Please (9.30pm R2FM), has got a second series; but he seems like a nice man, and it stars Andrew Sachs, so let's not complain.
