I'm Rebecca Lavoie, and this is Crime Writers On.

Crime Writers On is the original True Crime Review podcast that digs in a true crime,

pop culture, other podcasts.

And on this episode, it was one of the country's biggest drug smuggling operations involving Chinese gangs, mahjong parlors, and a mastermind named Onionhead.

We'll review the podcast, The Chinatown Sting,

from Pushkin Industries. Joining me to get that done and more is true crime author, TV journalist,

and host of these are their stories podcast, my husband, and yes, the love of this part of my life.

This part of my life. Kevin Flynn. Hi, Kevin. Hello, Rebecca. Also with us is private investigator, pet detective, resident cat lady, and author of the final curtain, Laura Bricker. Hi, Laura.

He hosts a podcast called Rip Current, another one called More Like Ancient Phalians, another one called Strange Arrivals, and our Patreon Deep Dive Book Club podcast. Hi, Toby. Hey, Rebecca. So, Kevin, this is Monday's program. It is. What's coming up on Thursday's show? On Thursday, we're going to talk about the new podcast from serial productions in the New York Times.

And that's meaningful.
