A Think First Podcast with Jim Detjen

🚨 By Popular Demand: The New Era Begins for Think First

• Jim Detjen | Gaslight 360

The people spoke — and we listened. After a long late-night dinner at Cowboy Star in Colorado Springs with Don and Sarah Marbauch of Arizona — a retired fighter pilot, Air Force Academy grad, clarity advocates, and unofficial ambassadors of common sense — the tipping point arrived.

Think First is going bigger. Starting now, you’ll get 25–40 minute episodes, at least twice a week. The same sharp lens on gaslighting and poetic truth… the same dry wit… but with room to go deeper, sharper, and smarter.

And if you want to help push this movement higher in the algorithms — take thirty seconds to rate Think First five stars on Apple or Spotify and leave a quick review. Every rating helps more people #SpotTheGaslight.

You asked for it. You kept asking for it. After a long late-night dinner at Cowboy Star Restaurant and Butcher Shop in Colorado Springs with Don and Sarah Marbach diehard fans from Arizona, retired fighter pilot, air Force Academy grad, clarity advocates and, quite possibly, the unofficial mayors of common sense the tipping point arrived. It became obvious. It's time. Think first is getting bigger, longer, sharper and, yes, deeper. Starting soon we're extending episodes to 25 to 40 minutes, at least twice a week, because some stories, some gaslights and some poetic truths deserve more than a hot take and a two-minute exit. So if you've ever listened and thought, wait, go back, say more about that. We're about to. This new format still hits hard, still questions the narrative, still ends with a signature closer, but now it gives you the whole arc, from curiosity to clarity. And if you're wondering whether this was the plan all along, let's just say you don't need all the answers, but you should question the ones you're handed.

Speaker 1:

Think First isn't just a podcast. It's a pushback against gaslighting, poetic truth and the daily nonsense you're told to accept without question. Every episode takes time, effort and a refusal to play along with the script. But here's the reality. If we're going to break through the noise, the algorithms, the filters, the media fog. I can't do it alone, so here's what matters Take 30 seconds, rate, think First, five stars on Apple or Spotify and leave a quick review, just a line or two. Every rating isn't just a number, it's a signal. It tells big tech. This podcast deserves to be heard. If you've listened and thought, more people need to hear this. This is how it happens Rate, review and share. You're not just supporting a show, you're part of a movement that questions first instead of falling for the script Until next time, stay skeptical, stay curious and always think first.
