AGATHA CHRISTIE - THE LERNEAN HYDRA | JASON FRASER | Detective Tales

In "The Lernean Hydra," Hercule Poirot is approached by Dr. Charles Oldfield, a man tormented by vicious rumors that he poisoned his wife. The gossip has reached such a fever pitch that Oldfield's life and career are being destroyed. Desperate, he turns to Poirot for help in quelling the rumors. As Poirot investigates, he uncovers a web of village gossip, jealousy, and hidden truths. The story masterfully explores how destructive rumors can be, likening them to the mythical Hydra-where cutting off one head only leads to the growth of more. Poirot’s task is to find the source and finally put an end to the torment.

I almost like the way this was read. There are just a few weird things that make me think this is a very sophisticated machine. Like, what human would choose to pronounce Jean as a common French male name rather than a common English female name, when the character is a woman in England? But then the inflections and voices are too varied for an AI. But the occasional glitches are unnerving, are they expletives, tape cuing/ overdub mistakes?
Ah well, I mostly enjoyed it either way.

30:24 has one of the [many] glitches I was referring to.
