The Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show

Life can get pretty tough out there and you sometimes need something to pull you through.  On this episode, our good friend Kevin is that something and he shows us that life isn't about being some ph…

Ricky was a young boy.  He had a heart of stone.  He lived nine to five and he worked his fingers to the bone.  He was just barely out of school and what's worse is he came from the edge of town.  He…

This episode is my homage to the late great Miles Davis.  Most people will never know how much I love Miles Davis, even his Tutu era stuff that everyone hates!  And that's what this episode is about.…

On this one I return from the long vacation I took to some tropical island.  As I write this, I realize that is exactly what I should have done.  It's been almost two weeks since the last episode, I …

Nobody’s saying I can’t just whip out the podcasts here and there, and why shouldn’t they?  They’re always saying this or that and all times day or night.  “Stay out of my business!” I would yell to …

On this episode we talk about none other than Otto Fredrik Gideon Sundbäck, the inventor of the modern day zipper.  He doesn’t even have a “zip” sound in his name which I found REALLY disappointing. …

Gaz is back and we're tearing things up!  We talk about his new tracks, the productions, the music business and just life in general.  Plus we get to listen two of his new tracks.  The episode title …

This episode is an episode where I talk about things like that guy from Soundgarden.  The band, not the garden.  Hiro.  Tina Turner once sang a song that said "we don't need another hero".  Well I'm …

On this one, I just quickly produce a hot and exciting episode made for the candidate on the run.  Gibberish is king and so is the rest as things rush by in an almost ungodly rate on this episode tha…

On this episode we talk about the lead singer for the band known as Pixies.  It's not "THE" Pixies, as I've been saying my entire life along with everyone I've ever met but apparently it's Pixies.  I…

On this episode I talk about all sorts of stuff.  I can't really remember what it was because it all happened so fast.  It was like that old joke...about the turtle and the snail?  That joke is so ra…

On this episode, we talk to Curt and Trent from RoundTable Rejects about EVERYTHING!!  Not everything but a lot of stuff.  Things that might seem a bit odd, even to the casual listener but that’s oka…

On this episode I just wait for a guest that never shows up.

This episode comes from the heart.  Not some artificial heart!!  No.  That'd be too easy.  Too damn easy and why are we always trying to make things easy?  Let me tell you a little something:  a few …

Sometimes we need clarification and sometimes we don't get it. That's how we get through the day.  We seek out details to the blurry picture we've been given and we run headfirst into the darkness.  …

On the episode I talk about Kool Moe Dee and the beef he had with L.L. Cool J.  A lot of people don't know about this and it was kind of a big deal that shook up both of their personal lives.  When y…

This is one of those "just whipped it out" episodes.  Some people prefer more vulgar euphemisms and they would fault me for having the word "whip" in my sentence but to them I would say there are lot…

On this episode I was going to a live simulcast with the Republican convention in Las Vegas, but nobody won so there was no party or speeches.  Trump made one but I've done enough on him already.  

Th…

On this episode, I take a soak in a hot jacuzzi tub and it changes my life.  I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to my pre-jacuzzi days.  They were meaningless.  It's all different now.  I als…

This is another in my free-form guest less period from the early 2024's.  "God knows what he was thinking" they'll say.  Not about me, but about somebody who looks a lot like me and that's almost a l…
