The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe is a radio drama series where the titular character, Nero Wolfe, serves as an armchair detective. Wolfe, a character created by American mystery writer Rex Stout, is known for his large size and particular quirks, such as his love for gourmet food and strict daily schedule focused on eating and cultivating his collection of orchids. Relying on his assistant, Archie Goodwin, to carry out the legs work, Wolfe solves crimes and mysteries from the comfort of his home without visiting crime scenes. This radio drama series emphasizes the unique and eccentric personalities of the characters, while incorporating engaging plots and verbal exchanges to entertain the audience.

The show was broadcast from October 20, 1950, to April 27, 1951, airing on the NBC network. The New Adventures of Nero Wolfe was based on a series of books that began in 1934 and had seen two previous incarnations on radio: The Adventures of Nero Wolfe (1943-1944) and The Amazing Nero Wolfe (1945-1946). Very few episodes of these earlier series are available today. The 1950-1951 series starred Sidney Greenstreet as Nero Wolfe, with various actors playing the role of Archie Goodwin. It is considered the series that popularized Nero Wolfe on the radio, with several related media formats including a later series created by the Canadian Broadcasting Company in 1982.
