A Think First Podcast with Jim Detjen

Think First is a short-form podcast that makes you pause — before you scroll, share, or believe the headline.


Hosted by Jim Detjen, a guy who’s been gaslit enough to start a podcast about it, Think First dives into modern narratives, media manipulation, and cultural BS — all through the lens of gaslighting and poetic truth.


Some episodes are two minutes. Some are ten. It depends on the story — and the energy drink situation.


No rants. No lectures. Just sharp questions, quick insights, and the occasional laugh to keep things sane.


Whether you’re dodging spin in the news, politics, or that “trust me, bro” post in your feed… take a breath. Think first.
