Volsteadland

Volsteadland Live at the CC Club

In this special Volsteadland Live episode, Amy and Heather take the stage at the legendary CC Club in Minneapolis for a raucous, revealing, and sometimes emotional journey into the life and myth of Isadore “Kid Cann” Blumenfeld. Joined by authors, filmmakers, musicians, and descendants of the men who ran the town, we dive into the bullet-riddled underworld of Prohibition-era Minneapolis—and the family lore that still surrounds it.

Chapter Markers

00:03:53 Ron de Beaulieu

00:15:36 Michael Greenberg

00:30:13 Paul Maccabee 

00:43:49 Marc Percansky

01:02:50 Sherwin Linton and Pam Linton

Hear firsthand stories from:

• Ron de Beaulieu, author of Minnesota's Most Notorious Mobster, who tried to separate the man from the myth (and ended up in the ghost files).
• Michael Greenberg, filmmaker behind the short film The Combination, who aims to bring Minneapolis' Jewish mob history to the big screen.
• Paul Maccabee, author of John Dillinger Slept Here, who shares what finally brought Kid Cann down (spoiler: it wasn’t bullets).
• Marc Percansky and the extended Percansky family, who tell unforgettable stories about The Flame nightclub, pool cues, gangster funerals, and a glimpse into their grandfather, Abe Percansky.
• Sherwin and Pam Linton. Sherwin brings country music charm and jaw-dropping memorabilia from his days at The Flame (including bar counters and contracts!).
• Special guests from the audience, including Rita (with tales of blood oaths and milk bottle bootlegging) and David LaBonne (whose dad managed a prized liquor store), Percansky Cousin Michael, and one of the owners of the CC Club, Steve.

Plus: haunted soundboards, backroom politics, a mystery tunnel, and the Italian musician who wrote a haunting tribute to Kid Cann...from Italy.

This is our 17th episode, it's Season 2 Episode 4. “Red Herrings and Scandal”.

We have a different format for you this time. We sat down with our friend Amoreena to chat about another famous person who was charged with the Mann Act, aka White Slavery Act. This is the charge that basically brought down Kid Cann in the 1960s.

Amoreena is the friend who has done some wonderful artwork for us and when I asked her to do the artwork for the Marilyn Tollefson episode, she said, “Oh the Mann Act, that’s what they tried to get Charlie Chaplin for!” It sounded like an interesting story so I asked her to join us for an episode to tell us what she knows. What resulted was a fun discussion about old Hollywood and the gossip machine. By the way, the woman who was at the center of the charge was Joan Barry.

Volsteadland is a podcast about the seedy underworld of the 1920s and 30s and even beyond, in Minneapolis (and also beyond…Hollywood, this time). In each episode, we chose a story from that era to present to you.

Please give it a listen and I hope you enjoy it. If you’re interested in more, such as hearing part two, follow us on any podcast app https://pod.link/1605227442 or on the podcast’s website: https://www.podpage.com/the-activity-continues/

**content warning this episode is full of discussions of some really yucky stuff: Child murder, sexual acts and brutal murder. Proceed at your own discretion**.

Wow, this episode was a doozy.

You will hear us reference a listener story in the intro, but we ended up cutting the episode into two parts. So that part will be in Part 2. The next one will be out next week.

So grab your hankies, hop in the Cadillac, and meet us in the Murder House where… The Activity Continues.
