Podcasts about Hercule Poirot

All aboard the Orient Express as the TSHE book club reconvenes to discuss a famous mystery classic by Agatha Christie. How did we feel about Hercule Poirot and his little grey cells? Pretty good, it turns out. He's “not a punk” like Sherlock Holmes, so he's got that going for him. Plus, Bobby dips into garbage talk, Ann resolves her car dilemma, and we've got lots of ED (emergency department) stories from the listeners.TSHE Recommends: Grassroots by 311, kindaConnect with the show!This is your show, too.

Am 15.9.1890 wird Agatha Christie geboren. Die "Queen of Crime" begeistert bis heute viele Leser und Kinogänger - darunter auch echte Kriminalbiologen wie Mark Benecke. Von Steffi Tenhaven.

"The real magic lies at the intersection between eating, moving, and sleeping. If you can do all three well, it will improve your daily energy and your odds of living a long, healthy life,"  That's a quote from Tom Rath, author of Eat Move Sleep. The three most important factors in you becoming more productive, focused and motivated each day.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  Don't skip the basics. For me, this was a hard lesson to learn. I used to stay up late to finish work or watch TV. I'd skip my exercise or allow myself to get involved in meetings I didn't really need to attend—just to feel a part of something.  And I would eat rubbish—cereal for breakfast, sandwiches and rice or fries for lunch and pizza for dinner.  And I felt it. I was tired, unproductive, and did not know where I was going. My weight kept going up and up, and every day felt like a drudge. I would wake up, feel horrible, go to work, come home, collapse onto the sofa, turn on the TV, and escape the real world.  It was easy to blame everyone else. My boss, my colleagues, my customers, the weather, where I lived, the company, etc.  Yet, it wasn't anyone else's fault. It was mine.  I had allowed myself to wallow in self-pity. That was a choice.  I cannot say there was a particular moment that changed me. It was more a gradual change.  What I learned, though, was that creating an enjoyable, exciting, and fulfilling life started with getting the basics right.  And that is what this week' question is all about. What are the basics, and why do they matter? So, with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Ali. Ali asks, hi Carl, my life's a mess. I stay up all night watching TV or YouTube videos, and then wake up late and have to rush to get to work. Then at work I feel tired and unmotivated all day. What can I do to have some better habits?  Hi Ali, thank you for your question.  The first step would be to read James Clear's Atomic Habits. It's a brilliant book, that explains how habits work, how to create your own and does all that in a simple step by step approach.  The next step is to understand some time tested basics. One of the many reasons why anyone would feel demotivated about the day is they are not clear on what is important to them.  Not everyone wants to be supremely fit and sporty and that's fine. You don't have to be. But it's equally true no one wants to die prematurely.  As Steve Jobs said in his famous commencement address in 2006 "No one wants to die... even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there" To find your purpose, or simply the motivation to jump out of bed each morning go through the Areas of Focus workbook. It's free and you can download it from my website.  This will give you the eight areas of life that should be in balance.  Those eight are: Family and relationships Career or business Health and fitness Finance Lifestyle and life experiences Self development Spirituality Life's purpose Now, when I say in balance, it means defining what each one means to you. For example, for your finances area of focus could be something as simple as “I live within my means and not over spend on trivial things” or your lifestyle and life experiences could be “I live in a clean and tidy home”. Getting these eight basics of life in balance will give you some purpose each day. Living in a clean and tidy home may mean that before you leave to go to work, you make your bed and wash the dishes.  To keep your finances in check, you may decide to do a weekly or monthly budget to track how you are spending your money.  That becomes a habit. It's a must-do.  None of these takes a lot of time, but they help to keep your areas of focus in balance.  Now onto another important factor. One of the things I've noticed about highly motivated and successful people is they have some structure in their lives.  They wake up at the same time each day, they follow a morning routine and have some structure for the rest of the day. That could be exercising at the same time each day or just going for a walk at the end of the day to decompress. Apple's Tim Cook, for example, starts his day with an extremely early wake-up, around 3:45 AM, to read emails from customers and employees before heading to the gym for an hour of exercise. He eats a healthy breakfast, gets coffee, and then begins his workday. I recently wrote about Hercule Poirot, the Agatha Christie detective in many of her novels in my weekly newsletter.  Poirot was obsessive, it's true. He was immaculately turned out at all times. Yet he had structure to his days. Breakfast was at the same time each day and he had his famous tisane (a kind of herbal drink) served in the same glass.  What draws me to Poirot is that fastidiousness. Nothing was rushed. The only things that ever bothered him was if his routines were interrupted. Perhaps not a good thing, but it did enable him to have a purpose each day. If he was taking a holiday, he refused to entertain any work. He was resting his “little grey cells” and that was the purpose of the holiday.  When he was working he was engaged completely. He actions were methodical and deliberate. I know Poirot is a fictional character, but in fictional characters there's always a grain of truth somewhere.  Perhaps Poirot's obsessiveness for order and structure, was motivated by someone somewhere.  The one thing I've learned is if you're not getting the basics right, then everything else falls apart. The basics are your daily routines. Your sleep schedule, what and when you eat and stepping away from screens and moving.  They are not difficult to do, but without one essential ingredient, you won't do them. That ingredient is self-discipline.  You need discipline to get out of bed on a cold, wet morning. You need discipline to say no to that plate of unhealthy food, and you need discipline to turn off the TV and go to bed at the right time.  I often shy away from advising people to develop their self-discipline because it's hard to do. And these days I find many people have simply given up and just tell themselves they have no self-discipline and that they never have had.  They will look back in their lives to find examples and use that to prove it to themselves. Ignoring the fact that there will also have been examples of them being disciplined.  It's complete rubbish for anyone to say they lack self-discipline. It's innate and inside all of us. But, like a muscle, if you don't use it, it will weaken. But never disappear entirely.  Strengthening your self-discipline isn't particularly difficult. As Admiral McRaven said in his Texas University Commencement address—begin the day by making your bed. Is that so difficult? It's one thing, but it's the start of strengthening your self discipline.  Now you mentioned that you want better habits. What would you consider to be “better habits”?  That would be the place to start.  I've never been a good sleeper—as a consequence I fell into the trap of believing it was “just the way I was wired”. Of course, that's not true.  In January I made a commitment to myself I would be in bed no later than midnight. It was a struggle, but I persisted. Now, nine months later, I'm in bed consistently at midnight and my sleep is better than ever.  It took a bit of self-discipline for the first week or two, but soon it was a habit.  Changing your sleep habit is straight forward. Calculate how much sleep you need, then decide what time you want to wake up, and work backwards.  So, if you discover that you need seven hours sleep and you want to wake up at 7:00 am, then you need to be in bed by 11:30 pm. (It's not like we instantly fall asleep when we get into bed)  Another thing you mentioned, Ali, is you lack motivation at work. That may be a bigger issue. If work is demotivating you, it's also draining you of purpose. That's where I would spend some time analysing. When your purpose is drained, that has a big effect on your mental energy.  What is it about your work that is demotivating?  If it's just a stage—we all go through that at times—what can you do to find some purpose. Perhaps you could set yourself a target. Sell X amount of products, solve a particularly difficult problem for your team or do something to improve your own workflows and processes. If it's bigger than that and it's about the job itself, then it may be time to begin looking at alternative jobs. It doesn't mean you have to quit your current job, what it means is you begin looking at alternatives.  What kind of work would motivate you?  It's perfectly okay to accept that you made a mistake in your choice of career. That does not mean you are stuck with that mistake. You can change careers at any time. I've been a hotel manager, car salesperson, a lawyer and teacher.  The hardest part for me was accepting that the legal profession was not for me. I'd spent six years in school and training, but after graduating and working in a law office, I soon found myself hating it.  I felt I was in a day release prison. I had to sign in at 9:00 each morning and was not allowed to leave until 5:30 pm. During that time it felt I was chained to a desk only being allowed to move to go to the bathroom.  It was hard to accept I had made a monumental mistake. But the thought spending the next twenty-five years stuck behind a desk was terrifying. I had to change my career. That was when I came to Korea—I told myself it would be for one year and during that time I would think about my future.  I was lucky, I fell in love with teaching, loved the way of life in Korea and met some amazing people. At the end of the first year, there was no way I was going to go back to the UK. So, when my employer in Korea asked if I wanted to sign an extension to my contract, I ask, where's the pen?  Twenty three years later, I'm still here. Doing what I love day in day out.  Sometimes, we have to do the unthinkable. I remember my friends telling me I was mad to give up a career in law to become a teacher in a foreign land. But I knew deep down I was not cut out to be a lawyer.  So, Ali, take a step back. Ask yourself what needs to change. Do you have the basics right? Are you getting enough sleep, moving enough and eating right?  If not, focus your attention there. Build some habits around those three areas.  Then look at your career. Are you happy? If not, what alternatives could you look at. Remember, you do not have to quit your job to do this. Perhaps you decide to go back to school and learn a new skill, or simply to change the way you work—you processes and workflows.  I should add, you do not have to rush this. Just getting the basics right will bring you better focus and energy. From there you can decide what to do next that will bring some purpose back into your life.  I hope that has helped, Ali. Thank you for your question and thank you to you too for listening.  It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.

During an archeological expedition to Egypt, Belgian detective Hercule Poirot is called upon to investigate the ominous deaths surrounding the opening of a newly discovered tomb.  As Poirot, along with his faithful companion, Capt. Hastings, unravels the enigma, he encounters a cast of characters, each with their own motives and secrets. The sixth short story from Agatha Christie's collection, Poirot Investigates features acclaimed DC actor and vocal artist David Bryan Jackson, along with musical renditions of Irving Berlin's classic “Puttin' on the Ritz,” by Chicago trumpeter Markus Rutz and his musical collaborator on the keys, Adrian Ruiz.  

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Creativity - Episode 448 - Queen of CrimeWe have talked in this podcast about such great writers as Dostoyevsky and Flaubert, but so far I've left out the most popular writer of them all and that is Agatha Christie.Only the Bible and Shakespeare have sold more copies that Agatha Christie - she is often mentioned alongside great writers who have had epileptic seizures, but her case is a bit more ambiguous than Dostoevsky or Flaubert.  In this episode, I'd like to lay out what scholars and biographers have pieced together about her health, and how possible seizures might have shaped her writing and life.Now I know that some of you younger listeners might know mysteries or even Knives Out, but not realize how much all of that traces back to Agatha Christie. Let me give you a short - very short - introduction to Agatha Christie as a writer. Agatha Christie (1890–1976) was an English novelist, playwright, and short story writer — and she's often called the “Queen of Crime.” Over the course of her life she wrote 66 detective novels, 14 short story collections, and the world's longest-running play, The Mousetrap.Her works introduced some of the most famous detectives in literature, like Hercule Poirot — the meticulous Belgian sleuth with the “little grey cells” — and Miss Marple, the seemingly gentle village spinster who sees into the darkest corners of human nature.Christie's stories have sold over two billion - yes that's billion with a B - copies worldwide — more than any other author except Shakespeare and the Bible. Her works have been translated into over 100 languages, making her one of the most widely read writers in history.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

Vorhang auf für Mord auf dem Siegesball von Agatha Christie. Wir lesen Christies erste Kurzgeschichte und den zweiten Auftritt von Hercule Poirot.

On this week's "Tuesday Night Detectives" on Vintage Classic Radio, we bring you two gripping detective stories from the golden age of radio. First, the brilliant Belgian sleuth, Hercule Poirot, returns in "Trail Led to Death", originally broadcast on November 11th, 1945. When a reclusive antique dealer is found murdered in his London shop, Poirot must untangle a series of cryptic clues, including a rare Roman coin and a suspicious ledger entry. With Captain Hastings at his side, Poirot follow a trail that leads from dusty relics to a web of betrayal buried in the past. Harold Huber stars as Hercule Poirot, with co-stars including Santos Ortega, Florence Robinson, and Howard Smith.Next, we join the debonair detective duo Nick and Nora Charles in, "The Case of the Moon Murder" aired November 25th, 1945, on "The Adventures of the Thin Man". While attending a glamorous party at an observatory, the Charlese's are drawn into a case involving a missing astronomer and a murder that takes place under the light of a full moon. As they probe the high-society suspects and scientific secrets, Nick and Nora discover that even the most glittering social circles can cast dark shadows. Les Tremayne stars as Nick Charles with Claudia Morgan as the ever-witty Nora. Supporting the case are Parker Fennelly, Betty Lou Gerson, and Leon Janney, brining charm and suspense to this stylish whodunit. Join us for a night of classic deduction and unforgettable radio drama.

Book Vs. Movie: Evil Under the SunThe Agatha Christie Novel Vs the 1982 FilmAgatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun (1941) is a masterclass in misdirection and suspense. The 1982 film adaptation, directed by Guy Hamilton and featuring Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot, transforms the story into a glamorous whodunit set in a sun-soaked Mediterranean locale.  Both versions center around the murder of actress Arlena Stuart at a resort, with Poirot reluctantly drawn into the investigation, uncovering secrets among the guests, each with a motive. While the book is set on a secluded Devon island during World War II, featuring a more introspective tone, the film opts for colorful costumes and picturesque settings, filmed in Mallorca. Poirot in the book is sharp and formal, while Ustinov's portrayal is warmer and more humorous, appealing to some fans for its charm and theatricality.Between the original novel and the film — did we prefer one over the other?

All the evidence points to one person, but Hercule Poirot keeps asking questions and solves “The Jewel Robbery at the Grand Metropolitan.”

Book Vs. Movie: Evil Under the SunThe Agatha Christie Novel Vs the 1982 FilmAgatha Christie's Evil Under the Sun (1941) is a masterclass in misdirection and suspense. The 1982 film adaptation, directed by Guy Hamilton and featuring Peter Ustinov as Hercule Poirot, transforms the story into a glamorous whodunit set in a sun-soaked Mediterranean locale.  Both versions center around the murder of actress Arlena Stuart at a resort, with Poirot reluctantly drawn into the investigation, uncovering secrets among the guests, each with a motive. While the book is set on a secluded Devon island during World War II, featuring a more introspective tone, the film opts for colorful costumes and picturesque settings, filmed in Mallorca. Poirot in the book is sharp and formal, while Ustinov's portrayal is warmer and more humorous, appealing to some fans for its charm and theatricality.Between the original novel and the film — did we prefer one over the other?

Mistr ve svém oboru. To by se dalo říct jak o postavě detektivního seriálu, tak o jeho protagonistovi. Onou postavou není nikdo jiný, než Hercule Poirot, kterého po pětadvacet let hrál David Suchet. Narodil se 2. května 1946. Právě jemu se věnují dnešní Příběhy z kalendáře, které jej však ukazují též jako muzikanta, fotografa a především velmi pečlivého a přemýšlivého herce.

The fifth short story from Agatha Christie's collection, Poirot Investigates, “The Million Dollar Bond Robbery” features acclaimed DC actor and vocal artist David Bryan Jackson, with musical renditions of Irving Berlin's classic “Puttin' on the Ritz,” by Chicago trumpeter Markus Rutz and his musical collaborator on the keys, Adrian Ruiz.  

A luxurious weekend at Brighton's Grand Metropolitan Hotel takes a dark turn when Mrs. Opalsen's prized pearl necklace vanishes!

Suspicion falls on the staff, but the little Belgian detective suspects a far more intricate plot. Can Poirot unravel the truth amidst a maze of alibis, red herrings, and glittering distractions? Prepare for a classic Christie mystery where observation and deduction are the keys to unlocking a seemingly impossible crime. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

An exciting Agatha Christie thriller has just opened at Theatre on the Bay. It's called Black Coffee and, as always with Agatha Christie, you'll be guessing right to the end with all the usual red herrings. The play is directed by Alan Swerdlow with Allan Committee as Hercule Poirot and Ashley Dowds is Captain Hastings. I spoke to Ashley on People of Note this week to find out more about this play and its large cast, and we were careful not to give anything away. People of Note. Sunday at 6pm and again on Thursday at midday. Brought to you by PtP

Send us a textFrom boarding school trauma to embodying one of fiction's greatest detectives, Michael Maloney's theatrical journey reveals how life's most difficult experiences often forge our greatest strengths. The acclaimed British Actor joins us from his dressing room in Birmingham—fresh from celebrating his 100th performance as Hercule Poirot in the touring production of Agatha Christie's "Murder on the Orient Express"With disarming honesty, Michael explores how being sent away from home at age 7 permanently altered his sense of belonging. "You cease to become a member of a family immediately," he reflects, describing how this early separation forced him into premature self-sufficiency while creating emotional wounds he would later need to address. This experience, along with his Roman Catholic upbringing, established complex foundations that would eventually serve his acting career in unexpected ways.The conversation shifts to his transformative years at the Royal Shakespeare Company, where Michael found himself amidst theatrical royalty—Derek Jacobi, Michael Gambon, Helen Mirren, and a young Mark Rylance. Their anarchic creativity, set against the backdrop of early 80s punk and new wave, shaped his understanding of classical discipline and theatrical expression. "We were all over the shop," he laughs, "and enjoying ourselves."Michael's reflections on the power of the spoken word reveal his deep appreciation for poetry and heightened language. He shares how sports provides a perfect metaphor for performance: some nights you win, some you lose, some you draw—but you always return to play again. This philosophy has helped him navigate the highs and lows of theatrical reviews throughout his career.Now at 67, finding himself unexpectedly cast as Poirot, Michael approaches each performance with the discipline earned through decades of classical training. When asked about his legacy, his answer is characteristically straightforward: "A proper actor... of significance and stature." Join us for this intimate conversation with a performer who has continuously found new ways to transform life's challenges into art.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

D'après Le Petit Robert, l'expression « se faire tirer le portrait » signifie de nos jours le fait d'être photographié ou dessiné par quelqu'un. On a toujours aimé cela, être représenté. Ce n'est pas nouveau, les rois se faisaient volontiers « tirer le portrait » par des artistes de renom comme en témoignent les nombreux tableaux représentant Louis XIV, Henri VIII ou Napoléon Bonaparte. Selon le quotidien britannique Evening Standard, nous prenons en moyenne 450 selfies par an.  Quelle est l'origine de cette expression ? Et quels sont les portraits les plus célèbres de l'histoire ? Mais se faire tirer le portrait, c'est aussi être pris en photo ? Écoutez la suite dans cet épisode de "Maintenant vous savez - Culture".

The 2:14 PM time of birth I use here for mystery writer Agatha Christie is new information. When I wrote about her in Yesterday's Sky in early 2008, I used her then-current birth time of 4:00 AM, which I found on seemingly good authority. Later, it emerged that "a midwife named Mrs. Shelton-Price who, according to her bill, had charged one crown and two shillings to deliver Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller at 2:14 pm on Monday afternoon, September 15." This new time of birth now gives Agatha Christie's chart a Rodden Rating of AA—and a very different look. What follows is a rewrite of my previous analysis. Consider it a replacement for chapter fifteen for all editions and printings of Yesterday's Sky starting from 2008 and running into the third quarter of 2024. In all new printings, this chapter will replace the previous incorrect one. As ever, astrology's Achilles' Heel is bad birth information. With someone you know, you can often sense that something is off in the chart. With strangers, you're much more vulnerable. Four billion copies of her books are in print. She is often described as the best-selling author in history. Her play, The Mousetrap, is the longest running one in the world, having opened in London on November 25, 1952 and still going strong as of this writing.  But it is for her murder mysteries that Agatha Christie is best known. Her work practically defined the genre. Her vain Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, with his waxed mustache and his brilliant deductions humanized the infallible “Sherlock Holmes” archetype. Poirot is the only fictional character ever to be given an obituary in The New York Times, after Christie killed him off in her 1975 novel, Curtain. That's some indication of the popularity of her work. Her delightful Miss Marple, who was at least as brilliant as Hercule Poirot and a lot more charming, made it safe for older, middle-class ladies on both sides of the Atlantic to have a formidable gleam of mischief in their eyes, along with garnering some respect for their well-tempered intelligence and insight. Anyone can say “don't underestimate me.” Miss Marple's irrefutable wisdom made that honorable sentiment irrefutable. Listen In...
