The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowMike Paine: The Man Behind The VoiceOn 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 Slayer and Ozzy. You can't imagine how much pressure that puts on a podcast host who stumbles through interviews and barely knows what he's doing - but you can lis...2025-03-0946 min

The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowThe 2024 Christmas Spectacular!!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!Support the show2024-12-2232 min
The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowThe Trump Re-election EpisodeOn 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'...Here are links to the album I made in hopes Donald Trump would sue me for defamation of cha...2024-11-1029 min

The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowBlank FrancisOn this episode we talk about the lead singer for the band known as Pixies. It's not "THE" Pixies, as I've been saying my entire life along with everyone I've ever met but apparently it's Pixies. It's all some scam to control the alphabetizing algorithms.

The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowTalking About Singing With Mark Wilkinson Part 2On this one, as the title clearly demonstrates, I conclude my conversation with Mark Wilkinson. It was so informative that I still think back to it whenever I hear a human voice, which can be quite a few times throughout the course of the day. The human voice is everywhere and we use it everyday but you don't realize how much you have to take care of it and not take it for granted, much like this episode of the Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show. Let's start not taking it for granted right now!!As with the last epi...2023-07-1730 min
The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowThe 90 Minute Cassette Tape/Mini-Cassette Recorder Experiment EpisodeSix months ago I came into the possession of a Panasonic RQ-L30 Mini Cassette Recorder and a 90 minute cassette tape that contained the soundtrack for Mary Poppins on one side and the soundtrack for Robert Altman's Popeye (written by Harry Nilsson) on the other side. The tape was put in the machine and everyday, sometimes 3 or 4 times a day, Shotgun Mike would push that record button and record 20 to 30 seconds of audio from wherever he was. He did this until he filled the 90 minute cassette tape entirely. This episode is your opportunity to hear the entire contents of that cas...2023-07-031h 25
The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowThe Guest Is Yet To ComeOn this episode I was going to have this guy on to talk about something. I'm not sure what. I talked about it on the last episode. It was real legit. It was all through this thing for promoting these guys and I think they have to sign up and stuff, but point is he was a no-show. A lot of people would take that as a defeat, but not here on the Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show!! On this show it just means more opportunities to investigate the fickle world of guests and their questionable attendance records. But don't worry...2023-06-2335 min

You're not going to want to let go so why even talk about it? We aren't. On this episode, I don't talk about letting go for a few minutes, play some tunes and make some sounds. Then I rub them all over my body, I find a giant canvas of varying textures and I roll all around on it until all the sounds have rubbed off my body on to the canvas. Then I take t...2023-04-1536 min
The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowCrime Keeps on ChickenThis episode delves into the darkness within. It's not pretty. Imagine yourself in a scuba suit but you're supposed to be wearing a business suit and you've only got 15 minutes until your big meeting and that's not nearly enough time to get home and change let alone get to your meeting on time. But that's okay. A lot of people are afraid of change and why should you be any different? I like to think of myself as different and I'm miserable. Why would you want to subject yourself to that?! But let's not worry about that right now. Right no...2023-04-1032 min
Dead Jester Productions PodcastEpisode 158 With Guest Mike of The Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show - Avatar 2, Marvel & DC, and Star Wars is OverratedThe vampire's wings shrunk back into the creature's burning, convulsing body. As they did, its skin began to writhe and melt. What the Heroes didn't realize until it was too late was that the skin wasn't melting. It looked as though it was pouring off of the creature, and the messy flesh surrounded the vampire. It began to look like a meaty blob, and that's when the Swordsman Hero reacted.
He leapt back, and instructed the others to do the same. As they did, the fleshy blob that the vampire currently occupied swirled quickly and then shrunk...2023-01-251h 15
The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowThe Psychedelic Sounds of the Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowFor this episode, I watched a YouTube video of the Mad Magazine 1974 TV Special. I'd never even heard of it before. It's not that funny. The magazine was never really that funny, was it? I don't know. I'm not here to judge old time comedy magazines. I'm here to judge other things, like hot dog eating contests or contests involving water fowl. I know so little about comedy satire magazines. I blame the public schools. Once again we all suffer for their misgivings.Support the show2022-11-0628 min

The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowThe Golden Age of Missed OpportunitySometimes you have to sit back and let life happen. Sure, you can fight the current and wear yourself thin. That's a good thing! People like to be thin but there's the fighting. That's always an issue. So you can't fight the current, but do you just give up and let the current take you, smashing you against the jagged rocks of modern life, or do you grab a surf board and surf the shit out of that damn river of life, and that's what this episode is about. It's about the river of life. Oh yes. It's an old salt...2022-06-2126 min
The Tempest Lands ~ ChaosZT#23- A Podcast about Nothing (Ft. Shotgun Mike Hostettler)This week, Gilly talks with "hamdammit," aka Shotgun Mike, a man who knows everything about nothing. Listen as we talk for so long, and yet, say nothing of real substance. This episode contains profanity, references to violence and death, drugs and alcohol, made-up-on-the-spot conspiracies, and nothing.

The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowThe Don't Get Fired From Your Job ShowThis episode is special to me because it's the last one I did with a shred of hope in my system. A lot of you cynical smart guys out there are probably saying to yourself in a very snide tone "oh you're JUST realizing that NOW?!?!" Well obviously no. I've been preaching that gospel since the old days. I'm just saying it never hurts to put on a new pair of pants and see if you can swim in them.

It's 20th century music, made in the 21st century by a man who used to work at Century 21 and it's all here under the big top of life that is the Shotgun Mike Hostettler Show.

The Shotgun Mike Hostettler ShowForty Eight or 51The stage was set but the tide had turned and there was nowhere to go but up. On this episode I talk about all the things I had planned to do on this episode or at least wanted to plan to do on this episode, and most of that stuff was just planning and wanting to plan stuff for this episode so it was a whole meta thing that got way out of hand but that's what I'm doing now.

They'll have no way of knowing there was once a time when people used processed wood and ink to communicate and those communications, which consisted of letters arranged into words, were sent in envelopes that were left in and taken out of a series of boxes and thus was our mail system. Hence the term mailbox, but you know…you can't tell children that so...2021-12-2814 min
