(Aired Tues 9/15/26)
And now, in collaboration with ArtsBuild: The Overlap.
This community podcast explores the shared DNA between the job site and the artist’s studio.
In each episode, we bring together local trade professionals and fine artists to discuss the mastery of their shared medium.
Whether it’s the structural integrity of a skyscraper vs. a public sculpture - or the chemistry of a commercial kitchen vs. a ceramic kitchen - this series proves that technical training is the gateway to both a high-wage career and a creative life.
Produced in partnership with ArtsBuild, each episode also serves as a portal to current arts opportunities and local arts advocacy.
For this first episode, we’re talking about “Education and Opportunities: The Infrastructure of Imagination.”
Our guests:
- Dr. Olivia Bagby, Director of Future Ready Students for Hamilton County Schools
- James McKissic, President of ArtsBuild
- and, Monica Kinsey, Deputy Administrator of Arts, Culture and Creative Economy for the City of Chattanooga.

On upcoming episodes of The Overlap, we’ll hear from people who look like they have completely different jobs: from a commercial welder talking to a metal sculptor … to a logistics coordinator talking to a choreographer.
