Our guest in this episode is Pittsburgh-area artist Kim Fox.

Sports fans may not be readily familiar with Kim's name, but they are most-assuredly familiar with some of her recent artistic creations. Kim was commissioned by the NFL to create the logos of all 32 of its teams that adorned the lengthy corridor each 2026 NFL draftees walked down from the green room to the stage where they were greeted by Commissioner Roger Goodell.

Kim compiled video footage of each draftee that stopped to acknowledge his new team's logo during the walk. You're able to view that video here on her Instagram account.

Beyond plenty of logo creation discussion - wait until you learn how many nails she used! - Kim also shares how important sports are to her, how she missed some of its communal nature when her family moved to Florida while she was younger, and how returning to western Pennsylvania later in life rekindled that love and allowed her to once again experience that feeling of togetherness that being a fan can bring.

Listeners might also be interested to learn that Kim has no idea what became of her Draft Day creations, so if you're a fan of an NFL team keep your eyes peeled for them and let her know you spotted one them in the wild.
