Plenty to talk and discuss in Wednesday's Daily Connect podcast, including finding out about the Macular Society - a UK charity for anyone affected by macular conditions - as we chat with Ken Eggleston. Also, RNIB's Madleen Mann talks us through making mince pies, Jessica Lee & Sinead MacFarlane join us to talk about pavement parking, the Afternoon Edition's Simon Pauley and Connect Member and musician Paul Quigley chat about loneliness and how not to get the blues this Christmas, and Allan Russell chats to Tom Wright, CEO of Guide Dogs UK looks back at the highlights and challenges of 2018 and ahead to what's in store for the charity in 2019.
