Hercule Poirot is a sleuthing Belgian detective, a cleverly intelligent and immodest man. This 1940s series is based on the Agatha Christie series written in the 1930s. Written by one of the most popular writers of all time (Christie is only surpassed in sales by the Bible and Shakespeare), Hercule is a first rate detective and drama series.

ABOUT OLD TIME RADIO

The buzz-term for Old Time Radio is "OTR". OTR usually means radio broadcasting from the golden age of radio, mostly before 1964. These shows from the pre-television age include adventure, comedies, mystery shows, western dramas and shows from World War II. These programs feature the best talent of the day and were broadcast nearly as widely as cable programs today. And just like TV today, families would gather around their crystal radio sets to enjoy the entertainment together.
