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.ONE OF the chilling features of recent conflicts - particularly in former Yugoslavia and Rwanda (right) - has been the part played by radio stations in stirring up hatred. In War Radio (8pm R4), Misha Glenny listens in to some of the more virulent propaganda stations, and asks what can be done to combat the problem.
On a lighter note, Olivier Messiaen in His Century (6pm R3) marks what would have been his 90th birthday with features and concerts relayed live from Birmingham. The pianist Peter Donohoe begins proceedings with an hour- long recital of works by Messiaen; Gillian Weir closes at 10.45pm with an organ recital, which includes movements from Les Corps Glorieux and La Nativite du Seigneur. Nice.
