Thursday, 29 January, 2026
As we celebrate 50 years of Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind we speak to Tom O'Neill, guide dog owner and founder of the Balbriggan branch of Irish Guide Dogs. Tom tells us how he came to own his first guide dog and how having dogs has made his day-to-day living much more independent. It's not quite ‘Planes, Trains and Automobiles’, but Jan comes fairly close. Recently he spent a day, yes that's right! One day! ...in the "The City by the Bay". Why only a day? Well... let him explain; we think there could be a movie in this story! Clodagh is back with a shout-out for new listener, Adrijana, along with emails from Clare McLoughlin, and Blind Gordon, who has been doing some DIY, god help Mrs Blind Gordon, a.k.a. Alaine. So, fasten your seatbelts, stop hitting that cabin crew call button, recline back and listen to the greatest podcast this side of a snowstorm: Blind Guys Chat! 9 out of 10 de-icers prefer it to the cold!
