July 4, 2024Excellent and Entertaining
Jonathan has a knack for telling stories. He's whimsical and elaborate with his material. He engages his audience and is easily understood. Long form storytelling is hard to come by in today's fast paced world, so I'm glad Jonathan is able to keep one's attention while he crafts his master tale.

July 4, 2024Brilliant Local Lore and Personal Tales
"The Carolina Storyteller" is a horror-themed podcast that immerses listeners in the dark, mysterious, and often chilling tales rooted in the folklore and history of the Carolinas. Each episode delivers a well-crafted narrative that transports the audience into the eerie and unsettling world of Southern Gothic horror. The host is well spoken, humorous, and at times poignant.
The strength of "The Carolina Storyteller" lies in its, as the title suggests, storytelling. The host masterfully weaves intricate tales that are both captivating and spine-tingling. The stories often draw from local legends, ghost stories, and supernatural occurrences, making them feel authentic and deeply connected to the region. The pacing is excellent, allowing for moments of suspense and shock that keep listeners on the edge of their seats. Mr. Miller's voice is perfect for horror storytelling—calm, measured, and with just the right amount of creepiness. His ability to convey emotion and build tension adds a lot to the overall atmosphere of the show online and in person.
Overall, "The Carolina Storyteller" is a must-listen for fans of horror and folklore. Its compelling storytelling, and engaging host make it a standout in the horror podcast genre.

What to expect
I have many different topics I speak on. Generally I like to use my skills with narration to share ghost stories and legends. Typically an hour show will include five to six stories. I have hundreds of stories to choose from and can cater the list of stories told to fit any audience.
I also speak about living with PTSD and mental health. I talk about importance of mental health care for first responders and all other workers. My discussions highlight my struggle and comeback from PTSD and how important treatment and a support system is. I also focus on explaining to clients how to identify an at risk employee and approach them to offer help.
About
Hi folks, I'm Jonathan Miller, also known as The Carolina Storyteller. I'm a disabled second generation firefighter turned Author, Podcaster and Performer. I am the creator and host of The Carolina Storyteller podcast, which started in May of 2022. I also created and produce Valmont: The Black Raven Chronicles, which enters its 3rd season in January of 2027. I have performed as a Storyteller all around South Carolina, from opening for The Rocky Horror Picture Show in Charleston, to the Gaslight in Greenville South Carolina. I perform at festivals, private parties, Halloween events and conventions. I've been contracted by both Berkeley and Charleston counties at one time or another to perform and share my spooky tales.
I perform Stand-up comedy as well as being a Storyteller, performing at various locations in the Lowcountry.
I am also an Actor. You can catch me lending my voice to Agent Black in Valmont The Black Raven Chronicles, or commanding the stage as Igor in a Young Frankenstein shadow cast put on by Charleston Absent Friends.
No matter what your event requires, I love to entertain, and am available at reasonable rates. Always remember The Carolina Storyteller is at your service.
