---

Jed the Fish (real name Edwin Jed Gould III) is a legendary radio DJ best known for his decades-long career at KROQ-FM in Los Angeles. Starting in the late 1970s, he played a key role in shaping the alternative rock radio scene. With a unique voice and offbeat style, Jed was one of the first American DJs to spotlight bands like Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Nine Inch Nails—long before they became household names.

His broadcasts stood out for their wit, unpredictability, and deep love for underground music, making him a major influence in bringing new wave and alternative genres into the mainstream.
