Daily Connect Podcast: Wednesday 1st August 2018

Today we hear a shocking story about an attack on a guide dog from it's own blind owner. Early Edition presenter joins Steven in the studio to give his thoughts on the story as a guide dog owner himself. We also share some success in RNIB's ongoing Street Charter campaign. We hear from campaigner Angus Huntley from Newcastle about the work they've done to rid the streets of clutter there. We also go beyond our own borders for another World Connect feature - this time we meet the world's first blind barista from South Africa. We also hear your views on blinging up your white cane. Maya-Liam Haynes speaks to Steven to tell us how she made her cane more fashionable but is it the right thing to do? And we end where we start today - talking about guide dogs. But this time it's a much nicer story and focuses on the good relationship that can blossom between the person and the dog. Lynette Proctor joins us to tell us how her life changed after she got her guide dog Pippa. #RNIBConnect #TheDailyConnect
