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.

Introducing: The Activity Continues: The Villisca Ax Murder House.
This week I’m bringing to you, an episode of my other podcast, The Activity Continues.
The Activity Continues is a podcast where a couple of dorks (Amy & Megan) chat about the TV show, The Dead Files and other creepy shit. Each week we each choose an episode to dissect and chat about.
This is our 13th episode, but not to worry, they are not linear and you don’t have to listen to any others before this one to get what the show is about. This episode was recorded on April 10, 2022 and aired on The Activity Continues feed on April 15, 2022.
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.
