51. S9E1 The Eccentric Detective: How 1920s Britain Understood Poirot's Mind
from The Curious Mind of Hercule Poirot · host Alanna Sorrensen
Step into 1920s Britain, a world where the language of neurodiversity had yet to be born. In this era, Hercule Poirot’s precise routines, literal speech, and intense focus were often dismissed as mere "continental eccentricity" or explained away by his Belgian roots. We explore how society used cultural stereotypes to fill the void of neurological understanding. By examining these early perceptions, we uncover the roots of how different minds were viewed before modern psychology gave us the tools to see them clearly. buymeacoffee.com/alanna.sorrensen
