-Exclusive early access to our chat with Graham Walker about all things NI, Scotland, Britishness and Rangers
But health issues and fate prevented that chat.
Ken had so much to share and we are truly sorry that our chance to learn from him has now gone.
We pass on our condolences to the Reid family circle, his friends and colleagues.
We at Shrapnel are saddened to learn of the passing of Ken Reid.
Ken was a thorough journalist that worked diligently through some of our darkest times to bring us all the news, the news that we sometimes didn't want to hear.
Ken had agreed a while ago to speak to us on the pod.
