About the show
MEET KRIS
Kris Geiger spent twenty years climbing into other people's attics.
He's a certified home inspector — InterNACHI #11331, FAA Part 107 #C1800405 — based in Napoleonville, Louisiana. His day job is finding out what's wrong with houses before they fall down or poison anyone. The kind of stuff that gets handed to him is rarely simple.
Somewhere around inspection number 1,200, he started keeping notes on the questions nobody had time to answer on-site. Why does black mold thrive on cellulose insulation but not fiberglass? Why does a 1920s shotgun house outlast a 2003 spec home? Why is the breaker box always a horror movie?
Kris Explains It is the show those notes turned into. One question per episode, all the way down to the science. Late-night-talk-show vibe, science-show heart.
WHAT THE SHOW COVERS
SCIENCE
Why physical things behave the way they do. Building science, materials, fluids, fungi, fire — the stuff that decides whether a house lasts a hundred years or fails in ten.
THE STRANGE
The history, the lore, the weird-but-true. Dead-end engineering trends, cursed building codes, the regional quirks that shape how everything is built.
FIELD NOTES
The unglamorous reality of two decades on-site. Stories that didn't make the report, patterns nobody talks about, the parts inspectors learn the hard way.
