. In the 1990s Goulden teamed up with Geoff Sindelar, known as The Professor for his encyclopedic knowledge of football trivia and sports collectibles. Eventually the series, Sports 101, was picked up by SportsChannel America and it aired weekly and nationally for four years. Tired of the grind he and Sindelar took the show off the air in 1996 and turned again to PBS (WVIZ) where he did such widely acclaimed specials such as Holy Cleveland, an examination of Cleveland's Sacred Landmarks. He also still produces documentaries for his company (formed in 1988) DBG Communications, Inc., such as documentaries on children and violence and an annual primetime program done in partnership with a child's advocacy group, Voices For Ohio's Children. This series won an Emmy in 2007.He produces special projects at WKYC, where he has won Emmys for his work on Dateline-Cleveland.
Goulden is creating a new web site on which to air brand new documentaries on a variety of subjects. It is possible that some of these new documentaries will be picked up by broadcast outlets for telecasting purposes. Goulden is also writing a book about his adventures while producing documentaries for 50 years and this project will be followed closely by a book of photographs taken while on location around the world. The book efforts are being augmented by Cleveland State University Library input and advice.
