While at TechTV, Kris created an early podcast called 'AudioFile AirWav' at the dawn of the iTunes platform.

In 2004, she left TechTV to host Travel Gear for Travel Channel where she reviewed recreational gear and consumer electronics while participating in extreme sports such as skydiving, caving and flying fighter jets.
