On today's Daily Connect podcast we hear from Jamila Shaikh and Atta Jakub about a new Diversity Dinner for blind and partially sighted people in Glasgow, sticking to the social theme we also spoke to Scott who is setting up a new pub club in Norwich. Paws for Thought this week introduces us to Sue Taylor and guide dog Leo, RNIB Connect Radio's Iain Wilson tells us all about a 5k for Guide Dogs, and on World Connect the controversy that arose this week regarding the news that Donald Trump tried to ban braille from Trump Towers during its development.

We also spoke of the passing of TV presenter and writer Denis Norden, and revisited Allan Russell's interview with him back in 2009 following the news he had been diagnosed with age related macular degeneration - the most common cause of sight loss in the UK.
