Jeff Gould Biography
Jeff Gould has built a career at the intersection of broadcasting, storytelling, and the spoken word, earning recognition as "America's Storyteller" through decades of work spanning radio, the stage, publishing, and podcasting. A radio broadcaster for more than 30 years, Gould was recognized as South Dakota Broadcaster of the Year and has received awards for effective advertising and ad campaigns. His storytelling style has been compared to Paul Harvey and Garrison Keillor, though Gould remains focused on the enduring arc of a well-told story and its lessons. He serves as a fill-in host for Keloland Living and has syndicated his local Christmas program, "A Prairie Christmas," into more than 60 markets.
Gould's literary work reflects the same depth and range as his broadcasting career. His stories are presented in two illustrated books, "I Like That Story," Volumes I and II, and for mystery enthusiasts, he has written the "Dead Air" crime novel series. The book "I Like That Story" draws on lessons learned from families after the loss of a loved one. Gould's presentations incorporate advice and life lessons gleaned from hundreds of funerals, combined with skills honed over three decades as an award-winning broadcaster. His experience as a eulogist at more than 600 funerals provides a unique perspective that resonates with audiences seeking meaningful storytelling.
For more than 20 years, Gould has spoken to groups across the Midwest on a variety of topics, including historical lectures, weddings, funerals, sales training, and one-man theatrical productions. Speaking at more than 100 events annually, Gould customizes his presentations to meet the needs of each audience. He is a two-time TEDx speaker, recognized for his compelling and credible voice on the national stage. Gould is also the co-creator of "The Significance Masterclass" retreat, a 12-week program designed to help individuals identify their talents and navigate life's transitions.
Gould is the creator of "America's Story," a live show, and "A Prairie Christmas," a seasonal syndicated radio show and live stage production. Presented through the Americas Story 250 non-profit organization, "America's Story" is a non-political presentation that shares the story of America through stories, poetry, and music, engaging listeners of all ages and backgrounds. Through his podcast, also titled "I Like That Story," Gould uses stories and interviews to help people seeking significance and a purposeful, contented life. Whether on the airwaves, stage, or page, Gould demonstrates the enduring power of storytelling in broadcasting, public speaking, and literature.
