The Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show

Hey guess what?!  I did another episode.  It's barely an episode but I don't care.  I'm not here to provide you with episodes like a loyal servant.  You'll get whatever I'm willing to give you, like a lousy servant!! And you'll get nothing but lousy service here.   Support the show

On this episode we talk to none other than author/philosopher/psychologist Steven Kubacki about what happened back in 1978 when he up and disappeared without a trace.  Sure, he returned fifteen months later but he didn't really talk about what happened to him.   Well he's talking about it now in his new book The Disappearance: Conspiracy, Revolution, Revelation… The Extraordinary Disappe...

This episode is a long time in the making.  It's a story about a small boy who finds his heart.  Or at least it looks like his heart.  I'm so tired as I write this.  Why have I chosen such a thankless life?!  And then my thoughts just trail off and I finish the description.  Don't forget to check out the new Trump record here: Pandora Shpotify Apple Music Support the show

On this episode, we dive deep into the world of exploration and for what?  You'll never know.  Unless you listen to this episode.  This episode explores the subject in a way that's really subtle.  Listen closely and we can all share in the magic and joy of the Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show.   Support the show

This is part three of my extremely long conversation with my good friend Tim Turner of the Post Human Podcast .  We were tripping hard on LSD so it gets a little weird but I think we kept it together.  The trick is to not talk too much.  That can be tough for a lot of people, but not for me!  I haven't spoken in years.  No real reason.  I've just got nothing to say.   Here is the link to...

This episode continues with even more stimulating conversation with my good friend Tim Turner of the Posthuman Podcast.  Tim is one of those controversial guests, like Joaquin Phoenix.  I actually mention that in this episode!  I shouldn't be spoiling it for you.  You go listen to the episode and we'll talk about it later.  Maybe next week.

This episode is a result of the hard work and dedication.  The hard work and dedication that I gave to another episode.  A scandalous episode full of debauchery and sin.  It was way more fun than this one, but guess what?  Modern society with all its ills and observations stepped in and kicked the heart out of the episode and left us this.  Thanks for NOTHING world!! Don't forget to like and...

On this episode, there's really nothing too exciting.  I threw that title in, that "Sing and Dance" thing to throw you off.  It's pretty much a boring episode, but I tried to make it a little different.  Lots of talking.  And then there's some musical interludes.  Trippy excursions for you to get freaky with.  Sometimes I feel like those can get a bit laborious for the lis...

On this episode we celebrate the release of the soundtrack to this episode. It's all about cyclically promoting the result of endless cycles of promtotion.  And what do we get for all this work?  Nothing.  You never get anything. You'll tell yourself you do.  You'll prove to yourself that you do.  You'll come down and fight me with your last breath because you know that you do...

On this episode we talk to our old friend and international superstar, Gaz Reynolds!!  We talk about his new tracks ( Blow My Mind and She's Mine ) and the world they're being released into.  It's crazy!!!  If you haven't heard any of our past episodes, you can check them out here and it'll give you a heightened sense of context:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/admin/230721/ep...

On this episode I talk and play music that incorporates weird sounds.  That's probably not what you expected, but that's what we specialize in here - the unexpected!  Like I never thought society would crumble so quickly but here we are.  And I'm not going to sugar coat it for you!  There will be zero coats made of sugar in this episode.  None! Other than that there's nothing m...

This episode marks the world premiere of my Shatner-style theme song which was Shatner-voiced by none other than Mike Paine , international voice actor extraordinaire.  Nothing but the best here.  This is the kind of thing that's going to give this podcast the shot in the arm it so richly deserves.  I didn't have a guest on this episode so I read from various websites in a drunken stupor...

Well everyone, I was going to make a big to do about the fact that I've been so absent from the public eye for exactly two weeks.  This, no doubt, has lead to a lot of speculation on my part as to what it was I'd been doing.  And why for so long?  How come nobody came looking for me?  Or called?  We will answer all those questions and more on this episode of the show.  I also shamelessly...

On this episode we talk to our good friends Curt and Trent from Round Table Rejects and do we talk about stuff!!  This is what it's all about people!!  It's a flurry of thoughts and ideas coalescing in conversation, providing insight, inspiring thought and making the world a better place.

On this episode, we speak with young filmmaker Ronnoc.  He's only 17 years old!  He's the youngest filmmaker we've ever had on the show!!  Our lawyers warned us that this may be seen as contributing to the delinquency of a minor, but we didn't care.  We want to contribute to the delinquency of ALL AGES!!!   But in all seriousness, Ronnoc is just the type of enthusiastic go-gett...

On this episode, I go to a big nationwide protest that occurred on Saturday, April 19th 2025.  There were hundreds of these rallies held all over the United States of America.  And what were these brave souls protesting?  Was it an unjust war?  Was it systematic racism in the law enforcement system?  Was it about how they’re raising the percentage of contaminants that they can put in our drinking...

On this episode, I let my instincts take over.  It's the same as when I'm driving my automobile.  I just tune out, tune in and turn the corner.  But this corner don't bend, if you get my meaning.  When you get out there, on the strip with the wind in the sand and the sand in your hair, you're going to wish you'd stayed home and just listened to this episode in your favorit...

This episode is what we used to call a filler episode.  To me, those are the best.  There's no agenda here.  Nobody's trying to win any awards or dazzle any shareholders.  No.  This one is literally here for no other purpose then to not NOT be here.  It's so simple.  So take a break and don't listen to this episode, but remember to listen to yourself as you don't listen to...

This is a very special episode about laughing and believe it or not, it's still out there...somewhere.  Sure, you never really see it anymore but that doesn't mean it's gone for good.  It's like making model airplanes, or doing puzzles.  It's just not really done that much anymore.  It's not cool.  Quite frankly it's embarrassing.  You're not going to live i...

I'm writing this as I crouch in the stairwell of a shitty hotel.  The internet is so bad in my room that I had to walk down to the end of the hall where it's amazingly fast.  I might just get a sleeping bag and stream a movie out here, like camping!  We could light a nice fire and sing songs.  Man...I'd love to light this hotel on fire and sing songs.  Who knows?  Someday maybe.  Ri...

One thing you don't want when you're staying in a hotel for long long periods of time is inconsistent breakfasts.  And bad!  I mean...it's clear the eggs from this morning were the same ones from yesterday.  I don't know...maybe retiring from the Navy was a big mistake.

On this episode I pretend that I'm hosting a podcast that's really interesting and not weird.   Support the show

On the episode we talk to Mike Paine but more importantly we listen to Mike Paine, because when you have a prominent voice actor on you don't want to miss your opportunity to learn.  And not only is he a voice actor extraordinaire but he has decades of experience appearing on radio, books on tape, teaching and all sorts of other stuff.  Not only that but he's interviewed people like Slay...

On this episode I deliver one of my most heartfelt monologues.  I didn't want to talk about it a whole bunch in this episode description because I thought it would cheapen it.  Then after thinking about it for a few minutes, I decided that I wanted to cheapen it so I wrote up all these pages of gibberish.  So much so that the people at the [podcast distribution corporation] told me I was at r...

It's the beginning of our 18th season!!!  Can you believe it?  Wow.  Who would've thought.  I know I wouldn't have.  I didn't even want to!  They forced me to think about it and that's what I did lo these many months.  Like a ship lost at sea as she smashes on the rocks of destiny, herein lies another episode of the podcast the world needs now more than ever.  Be sure to l...
