About this episode
For this week only, Distorted is available at reader edition pricing—$16.99, down from its standard $22.99.
If you’ve been meaning to read it, now’s the moment.
This is not a book about obvious lies. It’s about how narratives are shaped—across media, institutions, technology, and culture—and how those narratives quietly influence what we accept as true.
If it resonates, leave a review wherever you picked it up. That signal matters more than most people realize.
Clarity isn’t comfort.
But it is contagious.

Think First with Jim Detjen — Paperback. This Week. $16.99.. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
If this podcast has sharpened how you think, take 30 seconds and rate and review think first. A five-star rating and a short comment might seem small, but it tells the algorithm this conversation matters. And that helps it reach more people who are tired of noise and looking for signal. This isn't about hype. It's about building a space for clearer thinking. If you believe in that, rate it, review it, and share it. That's how we grow. Now, let's get to work. Quick update. Yesterday, distorted moved into the top 25 in media studies and top 35 in politics on Kindle. That's not accidental. It's what happens when ideas move in clusters. For this weekend only, distorted is available at what I'm calling Reader Edition Pricing, $16.99, down from its standard 2299. After that, it returns to full price. No gimmicks, no long sale, just a short window. If you've been listening, if you've been meaning to read it,
if you've been waiting for the right moment, this is it. And if it resonates, a short Amazon review helps more than you realize. That signal travels. This weekend only. Link in the show notes. Share it with like-minded and not-so-like-minded friends. And remember, you don't need all the answers, but you should question the ones you're handed. This is a Gaslight360.com production.
