Around the House with Eric G® is the home improvement podcast that helps homeowners, first-time buyers, and DIYers renovate, repair, and upgrade their homes with confidence — without the costly mistakes. Ranked the #1 Home Improvement Podcast of 2026 by FeedSpot, this nationally syndicated radio show and podcast is hosted by Certified Kitchen Designer Eric Goranson, CKD (“Eric G”), who brings more than 35 years of experience in kitchen design, remodeling, and construction to every episode.
Whether you’re planning a kitchen remodel, tackling your first bathroom renovation, budgeting a whole-home project, or just trying to figure out what that weird noise in your wall is, Eric G and co-host John Dudley — a former contractor — break it down from two perspectives: the designer’s eye and the builder’s know-how.
Every episode delivers practical, actionable advice on:
Home renovation and remodeling (kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and beyond)
DIY projects and home repair for every skill level
Hiring contractors, avoiding scams, and understanding bids
Smart home technology and energy-efficient upgrades
Sustainable and healthy building materials
Design trends, product reviews, and what’s actually worth your money
You’ll also hear exclusive interviews with celebrity guests, industry leaders, and top building pros — plus honest, entertaining conversations that make home improvement feel less overwhelming and a lot more fun.
About the Host: Eric Goranson, CKD, is a nationally recognized home improvement expert and keynote speaker, named a Top 50 Innovator by Kitchen and Bath Design News. A former member of the Baldwin Hardware Design Council with brand experience including KraftMaid Cabinetry — and a creative streak from his days as a Seattle rock band bassist — Eric makes expert advice engaging and relatable.

We talk with Master Electrician Dustin Stelzer and Electrician U Nov 12, 2022

Show notes

The number one resource for Electricians in our opinion is Electrician U. We sit down with Dustin Stelzer and talk everything electrical.

The idea of Electrician U was born from a lack of availability of quality educational material, for electricians, on the web. There are tons of people teaching code classes, but nobody teaching electrical work, from the field. We sit and watch many traditional trade schools takes peoples money and not give any true value to the students, so something was needed to get education out to the people in need, without ripping them off.

Electrician U was founded by Dustin Stelzer, a Master Electrician in Austin, Texas who still works out in the field today. He created Electrician U in 2016 by making training videos on YouTube and Instagram, so anyone out there who sought deeper knowledge of the craft had access to it. Teaching from the field has always been Dustin’s passion and to this day he enjoys teaching apprentices and journeyman the same way he learned, with a pair of Klein’s in his rough calloused hands, and a tool belt strapped around his waist.
