The Weird Circle presents “The Murder of the Little Pig,” episode 28, originally broadcast March 5, 1944. This syndicated NBC Radio-Recording Division drama is a loose adaptation of Émile Gaboriau’s Monsieur Lecoq story “The Little Old Man of Batignolles.”In Paris, detective Monsieur Lecoq allows journalist Monsieur Lehan to recount the murder of Henri Coudray, a hairdresser called “the Little Pig.” Though suspicion quickly settles on Coudray’s nephew, unsettling details—including a blood-written clue and a small black dog named Coquette—send Lecoq looking beyond the obvious. James Van Dyk leads a cast that includes Alan Devitt, Tony Barrett, and Stacy Harris.Old Time Retro Radio presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned/mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.Chapters:00:00 Victor Sterling Introduction00:52 Original Broadcast28:31 ClosingSupport Old Time Retro Radio at https://www.patreon.com/oldtimeretroradio
