Colm O'Regan: Origami made me enjoy time with my daughter tenfold

"There are the grunts of frustration as I realise I’ve made a bags of it and seek to blame my daughter somehow. And I didn’t check my phone once."

It is the worst betrayal that any columnist can perpetrate – to encourage the reader to listen to his podcast. 

This should be a safe space. I was recently introduced on the virtual stage at a comedy gig by the MC, Eve who said: “Colm has a podcast which I haven’t listened to and I probably won’t either” and it struck me as the most liberating thing anyone could say. We are nearing a time where everyone will have a podcast.
