Join us on Facebook What makes a mind brilliant… yet different? This is The Curious Mind of Hercule Poirot — a podcast exploring the world’s most famous Belgian detective and what he can teach us about neurodiversity, detail, and devotion. Hercule Poirot, the creation of Agatha Christie, is renowned for his meticulous routines, his passion for order, and his unparalleled ability to observe. But what if these very traits — his precision, his focus, his need for structure — reveal something deeper about the way some minds are beautifully designed to see the world? Across the episodes, we will explore defining characteristics often found on the autism spectrum, such as attention to detail, hyperfocus, logical thinking and routine through the lens of Poirot’s greatest cases. So, pour yourself a cup of coffee, take a seat beside the world’s tidiest detective, and join me for The Curious Mind of Hercule Poirot. Season 1: Six episodes exploring core autistic traits through the character of Hercule Poirot, tracing how his attention to detail, routine, logic, sensory awareness, and distinctive social style appear across Agatha Christie’s stories.Season 2: Six episodes examining common myths about autism, using Poirot as a counter-example to show how these misconceptions unravel when we look closely at his empathy, imagination, humour, relationships, and depth of inner life. Season 3: Six episodes exploring the richness of different neurotypes through the partnership of Hercule Poirot and Ariadne Oliver. With Poirot reflecting autistic patterns of logic and order, and Mrs Oliver expressing traits often associated with ADHD — spontaneity, intuition, creative leaps — this season examines how their contrasting minds illuminate one another and reveal a fuller picture of human intelligence. Season 4: Six episodes delving into the figure of the outsider in Agatha Christie’s world. From refugees and misfits to the socially awkward and the misunderstood, we explore how Christie uses the outsider to expose prejudice, reveal hidden truths, and deepen our understanding of justice, compassion, and belonging.Season 5: Six episodes exploring the quiet faith that shapes Agatha Christie’s famous detective — his devotion to order, his compassion for human weakness, and his belief that truth exists to heal. Through themes of vocation, sin, confession, mercy, and integrity, we discover a Poirot whose logic is shaped by conscience, and whose intellect serves grace.Season 6: Six episodes exploring how neurodiverse people experience church through scent, sound, touch, routine, and social communication. Using insights from Hercule Poirot’s perceptive mind, this series reflects on sensory inclusion, belonging, and worship design — imagining churches where every sense is welcomed and every kind of mind can truly feel at home.Seasons 7 & 8: Twelve episodes exploring the short stories of 'Poirot Investigates', one case at a time. From glittering jewels to whispered curses, we uncover how Poirot sees beyond appearance and assumption — revealing deeper truths about fear, identity, trust, and the patterns of human behaviour.Season 9: Before “autism” had a name, how might someone like Hercule Poirot have been understood? Six episodes exploring historical labels and tracing changing views of neurodivergent minds. Through Poirot’s little grey cells, discover a thoughtful journey into history, neurodiversity, and the possibility of divine design behind every kind of mind.Season 10: Six episodes stepping beyond Poirot to explore the wider world of cosy mysteries. From fictional villages and flawed detectives to friendship, belonging, reinvention, and comfort reading, this season examines why millions of readers return to these gentle mysteries — and what they reveal about human nature, community, and the search for meaning. Season 11: Six episodes exploring how the British class system shaped not only Christie’s plots but also Poirot himself — the ultimate outsider moving gracefully between drawing rooms and kitchens, servants’ corridors and ballrooms, decoding both crime and convention. Season 12: Six episodes exploring food, drink, and hospitality in the world of Agatha Christie. From English tea tables and Poirot's coffee to country house dinners, cocktails, poison, and the rituals of welcome, this season uncovers how everyday meals and beverages reveal deeper truths about class, identity, trust, community, and human connection.
