🕵️‍♂️ Trailer: The Cindy James Tapes Artwork

Think First 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 an hour. 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.

🚨Distorted is now available on Ingram, Amazon, Independent Book Stores, Apple Books, Harvard Book Store & COOP, and Barnes & Noble.

She said she was being watched.

For seven years, no one believed her.

And then… she was dead.

In this five-part investigative series, Think First opens the files on Cindy James — a woman found hog-tied, strangled, and drugged in a vacant lot in 1989.

Police called it suicide.

Her family called it murder.

The coroner called it… an unknown event.

But before she died, Cindy left behind letters.

Journals.

Notes.

Fragments of a story the system couldn’t explain.

Her own words.

Unfiltered.

Unfinished.

And in some places… unsettling.

Was she trying to warn us?
