About
Jared Madsen
Storyteller, writer, and the voice behind Jared Tells Tales.
I am Jared, and I tell stories for a living. Most of them are old: myths, legends, ghost stories and odd corners of history, a lot of them from China, where I lived for years and picked up the habit of asking people for the story behind the temple, the mountain, the saying.
Jared Tells Tales started in 2025 as a way to tell those stories the way they were told to me, out loud and without hurry. One tale a week, told to camera, with enough history around it that you know where it came from and why people kept telling it.
The channel has grown faster than I expected, so the next step is books. I want the best of these tales to exist on paper, with the sources and the side stories that do not fit a fifteen-minute video. You can read about that on the Books page.
If you want to say hello, suggest a story, or talk about working together, the Contact page has what you need.
