Happy Medium: the Adventures of Melancholy Helen Polly

JHP Fictionhappymediumpod.com
An autistic woman who happens to be a medium lives in a converted school bus with a dead drag queen and a giant talking dog. This is fine. From JHP Fiction comes a new dish of a comedic paranormal murder mystery with neurodivergence as a garnish. 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. Content warning for coarse language and mature themes. Written and directed by Jay Hazen. Visit happymediumpod.com to learn more.
