The TrapThink Podcast
TrapThink is here to help you learn to escape the traps that make us stupider, angrier, and more predictable. Host Darren exposes how news cycles, social media algorithms, and tribal loyalty keep you reactive instead of thoughtful—helping you spot media lies, understand the narratives being sold, and make informed choices about what to believe.
Speaking from a Christian worldview but building arguments that work for everyone, Darren challenges both left and right in long-form episodes focused on truth and honest discourse. If you're tired of being told what to think and want to break free from reactive outrage, this is your show.
