Around the House with Eric G® Home Improvement Remodeling & DIY

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.

For me...there are interviews that change how you look at things. This is one of those... and to be honest there are not many. I have talked about fire safety but never with someone that has seen it from the other side like this and we talk about how they start, what construction methods are dangerous....and I bet your house has some of this so if you are thinking about building or remodeling your home soon this is one show you must listen to... it will really effect how you build your home and what materials are used.

Show notes

We have had a lot of requests for home security tips and we dive right into it in this episode of the radio show. Worried about broken windows? We have a solution that will keep people out.

If you noticed a change here I wanted to experiment with reducing the music content from the radio show so it is easier to keep moving with the content. I would love your feedback on if that is better or you want more!
