The Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show

This is my exciting come back episode.  I came back from not doing an episode.  It's identical to the last one.  As a matter of fact, if you listened to that one DON'T listen to this one!  You're just wasting your time.  And you know how they feel about  that . Big brother hates it when you waste your time.  If there's time to lean there's time to clean.  That's one o...

I don't think I've ever seen the movie Trainspotting. Support the show

This one's just as boring as the other ones.  But I can't really talk right now.  There's someone at the door and I don't want them to hear me typing.  Shit!!  They heard me type that!!  We've got to be quiet!!!! Okay. Okay. I think they're gone.  Anyway, on this episode I play these things I came up with from this old Orson Welles record I found.  And I finally break...

This is the fastest episode I've ever done.  It's practically live!!  I was about to go to bed, but then I thought "why not whip a podcast off real quick?" and I couldn't come up with a good answer.  So there you go. Support the show

Part two of my hard hitting investigative hit piece on the great state of Milwaukee, my new home from home!  I do things l was told I never should do and then I explain it in great detail.  There's a collective groan released upon hearing that I'm sure but I do think this one has a bit of a twist.  I'm not hiding in the bushes.  I'm kicking in the mailbox.   Support the show

It's a long long road with many a winding turn.  And the turns just keep on coming.  There's a lot of outrageous stuff in this episode because I'm no longer trying to hide it.  This episode was recorded in a sleazy hotel room in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  I couldn't get any of the guys from Soul Asylum to return my calls so I just featured old songs by Touch Freak Version Two and T...

This episode features even more shenanigans with Tim from The Post-Human Podcast .  We can't help but get lost in the sea of confusion I helped build with my unpreparedness.  It was an experiment in chaos and there's little I could do to stop it.  I also have some tunes that are reworkings of old Saint Low Joy (featuring Crash of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros ) and a reworking of...

Czolgosz believed there was a great injustice in American society, an inequality which allowed the wealthy to enrich themselves by exploiting the poor. He concluded that the reason for this was the structure of government. About this time, he learned of the assassination of a leader in Europe; King Umberto I of Italy, who had been shot dead by anarchist Gaetano Bresci on July 29, 1900. Bresci told...

This episode is like an everlasting gobstopper trapped in a perpetual motion machine.  Not only do I have weird song-like things I play but  I talk to my good friend Tim of the POST HUMAN PODCAST ( https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-post-human-podcast-tim-turner-k7oE4xXtJ2i/ ).  It's the first in a 4, maybe 5 part series in which we discuss the world, Bermuda shaped triangles, long lost...

I used to be afraid to ramble on endlessly repeating myself in an almost hypnotic monotone but as this episode proves, those days are gone.   I found all sorts of old crazy songs that I had hoped were lost and gone forever, but you know how important fresh content is.  It gives us perspective. I also do NOT talk about my blog once on this episode.  I really wanted to but I resisted the urge. Eithe...

Sur celui-ci, j'abandonne et parle d'absurdités et de rien en particulier. Il est dédié à mon fidèle auditeur français. Celui-ci est ultra-pschedelic et possède une grande variété de sons et d'explosions audio qui vous feront flipper!  Je joue d'anciens enregistrements 4 pistes et de la musique électronique d'il y a longtemps. Vivez longtemps et prospérez! Support the show

When I’m not banging my head against a brick wall, I like to spend my time listening to the wild and crazy sounds featured throughout this heart wrenching episode of The Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show .  This episode features extended minimalist electronic improvisations from attics long passed. There’s also my entry to the Colbert Report Lawrence Lessing Copyright Infringement Contest.  I had to ge...

On this exciting conclusion to the spine tingling Match Game Two-Parter, we find out our top secret guests TRUE identity!!  It is, in fact, Tim Turner from the PostHumanPodcast .  We talk about all sorts of controversial subjects, some of which shouldn't even be mentioned on the show.  I think they WERE mentioned, but we weren't supposed to.  You see...we talked for a long time, and ther...

In a world gone mad, where can one turn to find the solace they so desperately need?!  We discuss that on this very special "Match Game" episode where I talk to  Tim about Match Game and why the world is such a difficult place to find solace.  There's also songs and music and mayhem to boot.  It's a grand illusion of impenetrable psychedelia!!   Listen with someone you love...o...

This one is so special to me.  It captures the spirit and adventurousness that make The Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show® the unique cornucopia of sound and entertainment that it is, and that's just an undisputed fact.  And why does this one stand out?   First we had our second round of the soon to be classic "Forum For 'em" where anyone can call in and get on the show.  Then we ha...

On this episode I unveil my newly invented, highly controversial practice of just opening up the mic and letting the waters rush in.  Those waters, theoretically, are the thoughts and feelings of a world gone mad.  It's an episode that'll leave you screaming for more.  Don't waste time.  Listen now before it's too late!!! (Don't feel left out!  Here's the link for the...

This episode is very special to me.  If this episode was my child, it'd be my favorite child.  I wouldn't have to pretend that I liked it.  I really would.  When those other episodes are around, I pretend I like them, but I don't.  They're just dead weight to me.  A dead weight dragging me down deeper into the murky waters of hopelessness.  Why did I have so many children?!?! ...

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 nothing normal.  You know that.  Normality isn't normal.  You've been fooling yourself!!  Either way, there's music and songs and remixes but you'll just have to lis...

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 he said. There's all that and more...but not much more.  I’ve been doing a lot of heavy lifting and it’s been holding me back but those days are over for now. Support the show

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 says it on his YouTube page:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC89idybo8rmVZLdywHmc7Kw It’s a heartwarming tale of trials and tribulations that will leave you with the kind of warm feelings that make...

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 wait!  Loyal listeners will no doubt breathe a sigh of relief upon reading this because it looked like things weren't going to work out there for awhile, but all that has turned around a...

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 had a song about that.  Maybe they didn't.  Who cares.  All I know is if the world's going to end I want to get at least one more episode out.  Here it is.

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 togethers you may be forcing yourself to attend.  There's also a brand new song from Touch Freak!!  I'd tell you more but I'm not going to.  I'm going to deprive you...

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.  It's like nothing you've ever heard before.  It’s a never ending flurry of fun and excitement. Well...it ends eventually, but the lessons you learn - they'll last a life time. Support t...

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 chalice." And it’s all to promote his ultra fine podcast “Now That’s Interesting”:  https://anchor.fm/now-thats-interesting Support the show
