He is well-known for his popular podcast, The Rock and Roll Geek Show, one of the earlier podcasts and a featured program on Mevio (formerly 'Podshow'), a Podcasting start-up and Butler's employer since late 2005. Butler is the Director of Programming at Mevio. Butler plays bass guitar and performs vocals with his own band, American Heartbreak. He also previously played bass in the thrash metal band Exodus. Since 2006 he has also been playing with the San Francisco band Jetboy, although he was kicked out of the band live on his podcast in early November 2009 after expressing disappointment and frustration that the drummer had just quit. In July 2009 Michael Butler joined Ginger from the UK band Wildhearts, as well as former Cult bass player Billy Morrison for shows at Los Angeles El Ray Theater and The Viper Room.

Aside from the Rock and Roll Geek Show, Butler also hosts several spin-off podcasts such as Cooking With Butler, Rock and Roll Geek Indie Cast, Bangin' With Butler, and Hairbanger's Ball.
