Jared Marcelle got his start in audio storytelling as an assistant producer for WNYC’s Radio Rookies program in 2016. Later, as a member of the WNYC’s narrative unit, he reported on youths impacted by the juvenile justice system for the duPont-Columbia award-winning podcast Caught, including a story about Z, who was incarcerated at age 16.

Jared’s reporting has aired on shows including All Things Considered, Morning Edition, The Takeaway, This American Life, and Planet Money. He also produced audio documentaries for Audible and taught radio reporting as an adjunct lecturer at Brooklyn College, his alma mater.

Jared is a Crown Heights native and self-described “sneaker head,” collecting shoes for as long as he can remember. He also likes to deconstruct dark themes in Disney movies, cook and cheer for New York sports teams.
