{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"Happy Medium: the Adventures of Melancholy Helen Polly","slug":"JHPFiction","podcastDescription":"

An autistic, reluctant sleuth who also happens to be a medium lives in a converted school bus with her massive talking dog and a dead drag queen. This is fine.

Helen Polly and her duo of spirited misfits navigate her nomadic life in a purple (or is it mauve?) skoolie while solving paranormal mysteries and evading a private investigator hired by her controlling mother.
