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...

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 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:

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...

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...
