Welcome to Narrated By The Veterans Club, a podcast channel where stories come to life and community bonds grow stronger. I’m Ed Bejarana, proud founder of The Veterans Club, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering veterans, fostering community connections, and uplifting those who need it most.

At The Veterans Club, our mission is clear: to create meaningful opportunities that support veterans, first responders, kids, and seniors while addressing critical issues that impact our communities. One of our core projects, Narrated By The Veterans Club, embodies this mission by providing high-quality audiobook content narrated by veterans, young readers, and seniors. This initiative ensures that people who are visually impaired can access engaging stories that entertain, inspire, and connect them to the world around them.

Narrated By The Veterans Club isn’t just about audiobooks. It’s about creating purpose and providing a platform where each narrator’s unique voice matters. Veterans share their strength and stories, kids bring fresh perspectives and enthusiasm, and seniors offer wisdom and warmth. Together, they form a vibrant storytelling community that transcends generations and brings literature to life.

We’re calling on those who believe in the power of community and the magic of storytelling to get involved. If you’re a veteran, a young storyteller, or a senior with a passion for reading, we welcome you to join our team and become part of something bigger than yourself. We provide training, support, and resources to help you grow as a narrator and share stories that make an impact.
