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.

ANDY KERSHAW (12mdn't R1) is so obsessed with Bob Dylan's 1966 Free Trade Hall gig - "the greatest rock 'n' roll performance" in his view - that he has devoted the whole of his programme to it. He consults an expert: the musician and playwright CP Lee, a man "marked for life" by that night, which saw a high-voltage Dylan (right) and The Hawks upping the volume in defiance of the audience. Kershaw replays highlights from the concert, officially released last year, and hears from Keith Butler - the fan whose cry of "Judas!" got Bob's goat.

In his history of boxing, The Hardest Game (7.30pm R5 Live), Harry Carpenter talks to Chris Eubank about life in and out of the ring.
