On Monday 29 June 2026 (and on Sunday 5 July at 1pm) Ken Reid will be marking the 100th episode of The Mix Tape show here on RNIB Connect Radio. 

Our Toby Davey recently caught up with Ken to find out what the show is all about, some of the themes that have featured on the show so far, what it has been like for Ken presenting the show and working with Barry Snell on putting the show together each week and maybe a hint of the theme for the 100th episode of the Mix Tape.
You can catch the Mix Tape show here on RNIB Connect Radio Mondays at 8pm and on Sundays at 1pm or catch the latest episode online - https://www.rnib.org.uk/connect-radio/rnib-connect-radio-shows/mix-tape/
