JARED MADSEN is the storyteller behind Jared Tells Tales, where one old story is told properly every week: ghost stories from old China, legends that explain a mountain, the strange histories nobody taught you in school. He spent years in China collecting them, co-hosts Learn Chinese Now, and holds a master’s degree in Chinese medicine. The channel passed 10,000 subscribers and 360,000 views in its first year and a half. His first book is in the works.
