The Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show

This is a somber one.  Maybe some of you aren't really in the mood to act stupid and make noise.  There's nothing wrong with that.  This one's for you.  Maybe some of you are feeling the opposite. Yo…

For this episode, I watched a YouTube video of the Mad Magazine 1974 TV Special.  I'd never even heard of it before.  It's not that funny.  The magazine was never really that funny, was it?  I don't …

On this one, I was trying to get someone to come on and talk about Yeezy.  Not Yeezy Jefferson, the wife of laundry mogul George Jefferson.  This is the other one.  He used to be married to some rich…

On this one we examine the phenomenon known as misinformation.  We do this by being fed a bunch of information that seems "misguided" or perhaps "mistaken".  It's the misses your mrs will miss when t…

Anyone who's studied the least bit of philosophy knows that there's no self.  We are all part of one collective consciousness that grows and flows and lets the good times roll.  The only eye I'm conc…

On this episode, I had a guest on to speak anonymously.  It's an idea I've been playing with for a while now.  I wanted uninhibited honesty, so I just let them go without fear of reprisal or public s…

On this episode I talk to none other than Cadabra from the SMOKE TO SMOKE Podcast.  We talk about this marijuana stuff that everyone is so excited about smoking.  It's educational AND informative whi…

On this episode I talk to musician/composer/performer Erin Clare about music and life and and all sorts of other stuff.  But mainly music.  That's what it's all about.  Music.  It's the thing that br…

 On this episode, I finally talk about something interesting!  And believe you me, it was worth the wait because not only do I talk about Columbo but I talk about Columbo with the world's authority o…

On this episode, I talk a lot.  Like, way more than other episodes.  I don't know why.  I guess that's my new format.  I just click the record button and see what happens.  It's anything goes when my…

Any more episodes like this and I may have to hire a lawyer!  People are going to start dropping like flies.  Like flies that cannot nourish themselves enough on the psychedelia-plagued episodes such…

This episode is  a psychedelic head trip for the ages.  These things seem to allude a lot of people, but it doesn't have to be that way.  There's nothing wrong with the abstract.  That's all reality …

This episode is the second episode of my latest Murph trilogy.  We just talk and talk and talk. I mixed in a pitch shifter and then I have a pre-fader plate reverb with a channel feed panned hard to …

Nobody ever knows how far things will go when you get Murph on the show.  But it was time.  It was time to work out the kinks and take back the night - the night in shining armor.  Take them back to …

On this episode, not only do I phone it in hosting-wise but I phone it in with the "Episode Description" as you are about to see.  Like I said, this isn't some half-assed phoning it in.  This is diss…

Sometimes you have to sit back and let life happen.  Sure, you can fight the current and wear yourself thin.  That's a good thing!  People like to be thin but there's the fighting.  That's always an …

This episode is what you would call an "open and shut case".  Nothing more need be said on the matter. 

Here is the podcast I’m on: https://anchor.fm/zoomerthoughts/episodes/ZT23--A-Podcast-about-Not…

This episode is either about Memorial Day or Labor Day.  I can never remember which is which.  One is about not working because to think about dead people and the other you just get the day off and y…

This episode is special to me because it's the last one I did with a shred of hope in my system.  A lot of you cynical smart guys out there are probably saying to yourself in a very snide tone "oh yo…
