Think First: A Gaslight 360 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. Visit Gaslight360.com/clarity to sharpen your BS filter and explore the 6-step clarity framework.

What if the most powerful lies… don’t look like lies at all?
In this episode of Think First, we unpack poetic truth — the kind of storytelling that sounds noble, feels right, and spreads fast… even when it’s not true. From history to Hollywood, we break down how emotional narratives are replacing reality — and why challenging them comes with a cost.
Because when facts become optional… the loudest feelings win.
They testified under oath. Congress passed new laws. But we’re still told there’s “no evidence.” From alien tech denials to redacted reports, this episode unpacks how the UFO narrative is being manipulated — and why the real story might not be extraterrestrial… but psychological.
Stay sharp. Stay skeptical. #SpotTheGaslight

In this episode, we unravel the poetic truth behind “inclusion,” the gaslighting of female athletes, and the political theater turning competition into narrative.

Not all podcasts are created equal — and some are just louder versions of the same script.
In this bonus episode, I’m sharing the shows that sharpen my thinking, challenge the narrative, and occasionally make me laugh out loud while questioning everything. From history and psychology to politics and media spin, here’s what’s in my feed — and why it might deserve a spot in yours.
If you’re tired of being spoon-fed “the t...
We were told Epstein took his own life.
In a high-security federal prison.
On suicide watch.
With broken cameras, sleeping guards, and no client list.
Sure he did.
Today on Think First, we question the latest gaslight — not just from the media, but from the very people who used to challenge it. What changed? Why now? And how many “coincidences” are too many before it stops being a conspiracy and starts looking like a patte...
Welcome to Think First — a podcast for people who are tired of being told what to think and just want a minute to think for themselves.
I’m Jim Detjen — and yes, I’ve been gaslit enough by the media, by politics, and by the so-called experts to start a podcast about it.
Sometimes it’s two minutes. Sometimes ten. Depends on the headlines — and how much caffeine I’ve slammed from an energy drink.
We expose gaslighting. We ...
In late 2024, unknown drones flew over Langley Air Force Base for 17 nights straight — and no one has offered a clear explanation. The military confirmed the incursions. The media barely blinked. And the story disappeared almost as fast as it surfaced. In today’s Think First, we ask: When the sky isn’t secure, and the silence is louder than the answers, who’s keeping the public in the dark — and why?
St...
It’s a textbook Reframe moment: the lie isn’t the problem — it’s the doubt it plants.
Gaslighting isn’t just lying — it’s psychological warfare dressed as concern.
In this episode of Think First, we unpack the tactics used to make you question what you saw, what you felt… even what you know. From politics to parenting, media to medicine, we expose how confident repetition replaces evidence — and how silence becomes comp...
