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.SOUND STORIES (11am R3), a week of playwrights who have inspired musicians ends with Bertolt Brecht, who may not have been much to look at ideologically or personally, but did provide Kurt Weill and Hanns Eisler with the material for some memorable music. Naturally, we get Lotte Lenya in The Threepenny Opera and The Seven Deadly Sins.
If that doesn't appeal, try Strictly Conventional (11am R4) in which Quentin Cooper meets the Association of British Investigators.
Bookclub (4pm R4) has A S Byatt (right) talking about her Booker Prize- winning novel, Possession - in which the biography of a Victorian poetaster has resonances in our own time.
