THE RADON REPORTER | 19 (continued next page) When it comes to the air we breathe, there’s always more to learn — and now, there’s a new way to stay informed. Earlier this year, the Indoor Environments Association (IEA) launched The Indoor Environments Project podcast, a series dedicated to exploring the science, policy, and people shaping the field of indoor environmental quality. Launched in July 2025 , the podcast brings together leading voices from across the industry to discuss critical topics such as radon, vapor intrusion, certification, and ethics — while also providing accessible, public-friendly discussions that answer the everyday questions professionals hear again and again. Whether you’re a certified professional, regulator, property manager, or simply someone curious about what’s in the air around you, the podcast offers something for everyone. Better air starts with better professionals. This guiding idea is at the heart of every episode — empowering listeners to deepen their understanding, refine their practice, and raise the standards that protect communities. “The goal of The Indoor Environments Project is to keep conversations open,” says producer Daisy Rezende. “We wanted to create a space where professionals, policymakers, and the public can all learn from each other — because awareness starts with understanding.” A Platform for Connection and Understanding Hosted by Diane Swecker , The Indoor Environments Project blends thoughtful dialogue with practical insights, inviting listeners to think deeply about the systems and standards that affect public health and the indoor spaces where we live and work. The first season includes a compelling lineup of episodes that span technical expertise, personal stories, and thought- provoking discussions: Episode 1: “Houses from Heck” — Guests Josh Kerber and Chad Robinson unpack real-world cases of what can go wrong when radon systems are installed incorrectly, illustrating why consistent standards and proper diagnostics matter. Episode 2: “From Discovery to Direction – The Radon Journey” — Featuring Zan Jones , this episode explores how far the industry has come — and where it’s headed next. Episode 3: “The Cost of No Standards” — Jane Malone and Kyle Hoylman dive into the consequences of unregulated work, shedding light on how certification and licensing can protect both professionals and the public. Episode 4: “When No One is Watching” — Amy Roedl and Mark Ungerer examine ethics and accountability within our industry, looking at what it truly means to serve with integrity. Episode 5 : “Standards – Why They Matter” - Myca Bruno and Shawn Price review how evidence-based ANSI/ AARST standards increase safety, consistency and public trust, the importance of adherence, and how to get involved in the process The IEA Podcast Leading the Conversation on IAQ and Radon By Daisy Rezende, Producer, The Indoor Environments Project Podcast, Indoor Environments Association ASSOCIATION NEWS
