The Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show

This is probably the best episode I've done this week.  It features all the excitement and drama from past episodes, but I've hidden it in what would appear to be a totally normal chaos.  But there's…

This episode was a test run with no life jacket. A parachute jump with training wheels. The new standard format surprise. It features even MORE of my talk with Z3RO but this time you get to hear what…

In this episode I talk to a 14 year old rapper from England.  We talk about all sorts of stuff I barely understand and it was great.  He's got something to say and he’s here to say it!!!  He also say…

That's right folks!!  After nearly a year of fanfare and unmitigated hoopla, it is finally here!!!  THE Bette Midler episode that we've all been waiting for, and let me assure you - it was worth the …

Making a big hoopla about the new year or the first episode of a new year seems disingenuous and if there's one thing I won't be it is disingenuous.  Nothing changes on New Year's Day.  I think INXS …

On this episode I talk more with Nikolas from the podcast "Out Of Trouble".  We laugh and reminisce about the days of future past.  It's all a lot of fun and the perfect complement to any holiday get…

This episode is a good one!!  Nobody saw it coming.  On this episode, I converse with none other than Nikolas from the podcast “Out Of Trouble”.  We talk about podcasting and politics and the world. …

On this episode I talk to a guy who was a member of a weird cult in Europe that ruins people's lives.  It tried to ruin my life but I just laughed.  I said "You call that ruining lives?!?!  Hold my c…

On this episode, I talk with a social democrat about the state of modern politics.  It's both entertaining and educational for the whole family!!  This is a special episode because it contains secret…

On this episode, we sit down and speak with a newly-exiled Mormon person.  We talk all about the world and what it means to live in it.  There's also some music and sounds.  It's all here for you to …

This is a special election night episode!!  For me every night is election night.  That’s why I'm constantly wearing a trench coat.  This is a big one though, and there’s music.

On this episode I play a very rare song by 57 Waltz that is all about that crazy deconstructionist punk rock.  I also play with a drum machine.  It's hard not to let the mind wander when I type these…

This is a special episode.  So special.  It’s a return to form.  That makes itself obvious within seconds. It's a cavalcade of whimsy wrapped up in big red capital letters for you to stare at mindles…

I know it's been a long long long time since the last episode.  I have no one but myself to blame.  Myself and society.  But I wouldn't be who I am without society.  As a matter of fact, you could sa…

I had to watch hours and hours of X-Men prequels to make this episode what it is.  It sinks into the brain like bubbles on a wet sponge.  But don’t take my word for it.  Just listen.  Listen closely.…

So it was all going so well.  So uphill.  And then capitalism reared its ugly stupid head into my damn business, and as you know my business is making the podcast in such a way that it can't be rushe…

On this episode I sit down with rising star Ethan Flynn as he talks about his process and his passions and his performances, one of which is executed live on the air!!!  It's the craziest thing I've …

This is a very special episode that grips you by the throat and hangs you over the edge of some deep dark cavern.  And I talk to James about his hands.  I know what you're thinking, but it's not what…

Longer than there's been stars in the ocean, I have been wandering the globe with no sense of purpose.  Nowhere to go.  That all came to a screeching halt a few weeks ago.  Now my purpose is clearer …

On this episode, I talk with international comedy superstar Anthony Jeannot about life, love, magic mushrooms, and his new album which is available on Spotify, Apple Music and elsewhere.  It's a nice…
