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 Disappearance of Steven Kubacki (After 45 Y...

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:

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.

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 the FIRST "Trump Record" I...

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!!

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 listeners, but they do pad out the run...

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 get a little something, but you don...

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 much to talk about.  Listen to the ep...

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 promote my latest release.  I&apos...

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-getter the film world needs.  Listen to ...

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 water?  No.  They’re protesting bec...

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 favorite bean bag chair  But you want to k...

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 episode.  Otherwise you'...

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 in an upscale neighborhood if all yo...

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.  Right now we have to focus on the sho...

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.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
