À PROPOS DE CE PODCAST 🔗
You already know my voice.
For twenty-five years, I've been telling you to mind the gap on trains across Ireland. This is the same instruction. The gap is just different now.
Mind the Gap is a podcast about the space between what we think we're doing and what we're actually doing. Between intention and impact. Between the behaviour we display and the one we'd choose if we were paying attention.
Each episode is a short reflection — drawn from psychology, philosophy, and the texture of everyday life — on one of those gaps. Why do we give advice nobody asked for? Why do we lie more after the mistake than during it? Why do we perform contentment, perform listening, perform strength? And what it costs us when we do.
I'm Michael Comyn — coach, broadcaster, and the voice on the platform. New episodes weekly.

DERNIER ÉPISODE 🔗
Episode 90 of Mind the Gap is a pause rather than a conclusion.
Looking back through the archive, Michael listens again to the ideas, questions, certainties and contradictions that have shaped the first ninety episodes. What has changed? What still holds true? And what can we learn from the gap b…

You know the Dunning-Kruger effect. "The dumbest people are the most confident." Except that's not what the 1999 study actually found — and the correction most people haven't heard is stranger than the myth itself.
Michael Comyn traces the real finding, the statistical critique that's since calle…
"We're a family here." You've heard it, probably from someone who meant it warmly. This week, Michael Comyn takes the phrase more seriously than it usually gets taken — and asks the question nobody stops to ask first: which kind of family, exactly?
Because not every family is the good kind. Every…
The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster wasn't a surprise. Engineers had seen the same O-ring damage on earlier, successful flights — reviewed, discussed, waved through.
Nobody hid it. Something quieter had happened first: sociologist Diane Vaughan called it normalisation of deviance — the process…
You already know the voice. This week, a different kind of gap — the one between the life you're living and the plot you never actually chose.
Michael Comyn draws on psychiatrist Eric Berne's idea of the life script — the unconscious plan for how things are supposed to go, written long before any…
The sentence arrives about a second and a half after the remark, and it is always delivered lightly: I'm only joking.
Notice where it sits. It doesn't withdraw what was said — it leaves the remark exactly where it is and changes what you're allowed to do about it.
Michael Comyn on deniable ag…
Last week, Michael Comyn made the case for silence. This week, the exception — because there's a second kind of silence, the sentence that was formed, weighed, and then never said.
Aviation has a name for the conditions that produce it: the authority gradient, the slope of rank and reputation th…
The voice that tells Ireland to mind the gap spent thirty years being trained never to let silence happen. In radio, they call it dead air — eight seconds of quiet and alarms sound in rooms you'll never see.
Then Michael found himself in coaching rooms where the silence after a question turned o…
Twenty-six years ago, a voice was recorded in a studio in Manchester. Two takes. The first was used. The second was a safety copy. Nobody thought it would matter.
That voice now tells millions of people to mind the gap. Every day. Several thousand times.
And still, people fall in the gap.

Sometimes the most intelligent thing in the room is the thing left unsaid.
We had a friend called Bob. When someone was being foolish — not malicious, just foolish — Bob wouldn't argue, correct, or sigh. He would go quiet. And in that quiet, the person speaking would hear themselves. Really hear …
