The Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show

This episode is all to promote my upcoming appearance on "The Great Big Intergalactic" which is a podcast starring none other than my good friend Caesar.  I should say, this episode was all about promoting my upcoming appearance on "The Great Big Intergalactic" which is a podcast starring none other than my good friend Caesar.  Now it is an episode about how Spotify is curtaili...

This episode was going to be a big premiere, a sort of "re-birth".  My plan was to be very energetic and act like I'd never done a podcast ever before in my life.  I was going to have fake technical difficulties and interview somebody about plants.  I had it all set but you know what happened?  The time came to start doing my whole routine and I thought, 'nah.  I just don'...

Oh my this is a podcast to be reckoned with and the days of reckoning have arrived.  It sure surprised me!!  Did it surprise you?  Like and leave a comment if it surprised you. Support the show

This episode is dedicated to my girlfriend because she said she likes the episodes where I ramble on endlessly about nothing and so that's what I tried to do.  Now that I think about it, maybe she said that because she thinks it's really annoying and if I ramble on and on endlessly, eventually I will end up alienating my audience.  Without my audience, well...there's no need for thi...

A lot of people think that the film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" is the very first movie with all post production, including color grading, done digitally.  But due to the release date being pushed back repeatedly, Jason X (aka Jason in Space) is actually the first film to be completely color graded digitally along with all the other post production.  But it didn’t come out until later. ...

On this episode, we talk to Greg Judd from The IDK's.  A lot of you are probably thinking "he already said that in the Episode Title" and that is true, but I wanted to make sure that was clear.  I mean, it might not mean a lot to you, but it means a lot to me!!  Not only do we talk to Greg Judd from the IDKs but we also debut three songs.  That means I am bringing this music to you,...

This is an episode where I never once talk about the Friday the 13th holiday that happens every few months.  Could you call that a holiday?  What is Friday the 13th classified as?  I guess it's not a holiday.  It's just a day.  Apparently years that begin on Thursday have three Friday the 13ths.  One in February, one in March, and one in November, such as 2009, 2015, and 2026. Leap years...

This episode is an homage to Over the Edge on KTLA.  I was listening to it the other day, or a recording of it I should say, and it reminded me of how inspirational that stuff was for me. Still is!!  But that's neither here nor there.  What's important is that we got this episode done.  We're all really excited about that. Support the show

On this episode, I talk to Duane Scott Cerny.  He is a true renaissance man!  He is the bestselling author of "Vintage Confidential" and "Selling Dead People's Things" and Co-Owner of the  Broadway Antique Market in Chicago as well as a columnist, poet and all sorts of other stuff!!  Listen to us talk about things, the value of said things and the role these things play in...

On this episode, I provide a template for the type of show a guest might be able to expect while walking them through the entire process.  Seems strange right?  Well...it's a strange world we live in.  Maybe you're a potential guest that wants to come on and talk about this?  Well listen to this episode, take notes and book your appearance!!!  For those of you who have no interest in bei...

This, of course, is the 2024 Christmas episode.  Originally, I was calling it the 2024 X-mas episode but I noticed people don't do that anymore.  They don't do a lot of stuff anymore.  Like caring about each other.  That's something we don't do anymore.  You know what makes people care about each other?  Listening to the Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show!

On this episode, we talk to Gaz Reynolds.  He's been on a million times!!  It's just us getting weird and talking about life in the world.  We feature his tracks Bitches (Boomer Dance Mix), I Don't Care and Electric Kama Sutra (My Wife Looks Like Bella Poarch Mix) .  All this and more can be further investigated at one of these links that are right here, but listen to the episode fi...

I was feeling down.  Down and out.  Out of time and out of inspiration.  Where could I turn?  What was it that was causing all this mayhem?  What was the answer?!?   Covid.  The Coronavirus!!  Remember when people were all freaked out about it?  Well I got it yesterday and nobody gives a shit, so who says the world isn't changing?  But I talk about it a little.  I was tired and needed somethi...

On this episode, I get psychedelic in the hotel room I'm currently holding up in.  I've boarded up the windows and taken out the trash.  Sit back and relax.  This episode will do the work for you. Support the show

On this episode, I appear on another guys podcast.  I don't tell him I do a podcast or that I'm using the audio of our conversation in this episode.  A lot of people are going to say "that's deceptive!" or "that's stealing!" and to those people I say go fuck yourselves.  This is my podcast and I'll do what I want!!  And not only do I do this, but the mu...

On this episode I talk about how even though I'm not a fan of Donald Trump, I knew he was going to win.  I would visit my sister and she'd get so angry that I said he was going to win.  I never said I liked him, I just said he was going to win.  She got so angry and started screaming at me but hey...it's over.  You know who never screamed at me?  Donald Trump.  I'm just sayin&a...

This episode is about popular characters from popular old intellectual property pulp magazines also known as comic books.  The word "comic" originates from the Greek word "komikos," which relates to comedy. This Greek term itself comes from "komos," meaning a revel or a festivity. The word evolved through Latin as "comicus" before entering Middle English as...

Here we are again on this, the final episode of our three part series involving none other than Caesar from The Great Big Intergalactic Podcast.  We talked for such a long time that I only felt I could do it justice by stretching it out into three episodes, but you know...it's so much more than that.  So much more.  Why don't you listen and find out exactly how much more? After finding o...

On this episode we continue our discussion with Caesar from the Great Big Intergalactic podcast.  This episode is part two of our discussion where we share our perspectives on the world and how we are experiencing it.  I was going to go into a detailed description of what we do next, but you'll have to listen to PART TWO of my exciting discussion with CAESAR from THE GREAT BIG INTERGALACTIC....

On this episode I talk to Caesar from the podcast the Great Big Intergalactic show!!  We talk about everything from Mormons, to not having guests on your podcast, to not having Mormon guests on your podcast and oh so much more!!  We dig deep to find the answers and share them with you.  It's all so much fun you're not going to be able to control yourself, and it could be happening to you...

I made one promise last episode.  But it was a big one.  It was that I would have a guest on to talk about something.  It's this new idea I've been kicking around.  Figured I'd try it out on this episode and if it works out, well...who knows where we can take it?  But this new idea was to talk to someone in a very "spur of the moment' type of way.  Now this isn't real...

Here it is!!  The last episode of the Gaz Reynolds trilogy.  I'd spend all day talking about it but why don't you just listen to it?  Why do I have to do all the work??  Why can't you do anything for yourself EVER?!?!?!?!   Check out his links: https://www.tiktok.com/@gazreynolds https://open.spotify.com/artist/3u3Ti4wpLfI4BbjhoCeJPV https://www.youtube.com/c/GAZREYNOLDS Support the...

As with most great trilogies, the second episode is the one that really ties everything together and this episode does nothing to dispel that myth.  We're back with our good friend Gaz Reynolds and we're talking about even more stuff!!  We get pretty heavy on this one.  Some of the weaker-willed listeners may need your therapy animal close by while listening to this one.  REAL close.  We...

We're back after so much time off on vacation and we're back with a super special episode. Why so super special?  Well it's because we have one of our returning guests, none other than Gaz Reynolds!!  And we talk about the world and how crazy it is.  You're probably saying "I had no idea it was so crazy.  I thought everything was fine."  Well it's not!!  You bett...
