Episode List

In this debut, we’re joined by two industry rockstars: Josh Kerber, Environmental Research Scientist with the Minnesota Department of Health, and Chad Robinson, founder of Building Performance Co., veteran mitigator and educator from Kansas State University’s Regional Radon Training Center. Together, they’ve seen it all—and they’re here to talk about the most outrageous, head-scratching, and humbling radon challenges of their careers.

🎧 We dig into:
 • “Problem houses” that defy diagnostics
 • How pros can build resilience, stay ethical, and keep learning

And in case you were wondering: yes, both Chad and Josh say their rig anthem is Don’t Stop Believin’. After hearing their stories, you’ll understand why.

Whether you’re a radon veteran or just getting started in the field, this episode brings a mix of humor, real talk, and practical wisdom that hits home.

The Indoor Environment Project is brought to you by the Indoor Environments Association—advancing science, policy, and professionalism in radon, vapor intrusion, and indoor air quality.

In this episode of The Indoor Environments Project, we’re taking a step back—and a big step forward.

Join us for a fascinating conversation with Zan Jones, a longtime advocate, educator, and leader in the radon industry, as we explore the history of radon, how the industry first took shape, and where it’s headed next.

We’ll cover:

• How radon was first “discovered” in homes (spoiler: it was almost by accident)
• The pivotal moments that shaped the radon and indoor air quality industry
• The biggest wins—and challenges—we’ve faced as a profession
• What the future holds for radon,  and environmental health
• The critical role of the next generation of professionals

Plus, Zan shares the one word that describes the future of our industry: Radiant.
