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/

There’s an exciting opportunity to join the team behind the UK’s largest producer of official statistics. Hywel Davies has been finding out about a new work placement scheme with The Office for National Statistics.

Each month, RNIB Connect Radio's Allan Russell is joined by some of RNIB Northern Ireland’s Campaigns Team to discuss some of the big projects they’re working on.
This month’s topics include work on accessible voting and the charity Manifesto for next year’s elections and a transport hub accessibility launch.
