The Hoosier Illusion Origin Story continues as Ryan J. Downey and Neal Taflinger take a walk through their formative years, specifically the time spent in the Broad Ripple Village, a strip of record stores, restaurants, and at least one punk rock subculture epicenter, a pre-Hot Topic indie boutique called Future Shock. Each night, the block transformed into an unlicensed carnival of sorts populated by the hardcore kids, punks, skaters, skinheads, graffiti artists, mods, ravers, goths, proto-hipsters, pseudo intellectuals, and would be revolutionaries of Indianapolis.

Hoosier Illusion co-host Neal Taflinger was in a band. At least that's what he says when he doesn't want to go into detail. But his co-host Ryan J. Downey asked him to - go into detail, that is - so he did and here we are. 

This podcast is an ongoing conversation between two friends about who we've been, who we are, and who we want to be, stitched together with jokes about and references to hardcore punk, heavy metal, hip hop, comic books, movies and television shows that will either confuse or entertain depending on your fandom.
