Podcast: Claire Manship and New York City TikTok

Claire Manship (@womanship) joins the podcast this week!

We talk about her viral Songs from the Sill and how she’s using TikTok to perform while the lights are out on Broadway. Claire tells us how she’s been convincing her friends that they’re not “too old for TikTok” for over a year now and how the platform feels like “the people’s app.”

Then, Claire tells us about her experience with the TikTok Marketplace and the TikTok Creator Fund.

New York City TikTok

New York City TikTok is a glorious place filled with inside jokes and musings about everyday New York life.

That is, if you follow the right people.

Here are our favorite NYC TikToks:

Sam Weidt creates quintessential millennial New York content.

This sound is a goldmine of hilarious only-in-New-York content.

And @dutchdeccc takes part in this New York City apartment trend on TikTok:

Our favorite creators:

@dutchdeccc

An episode on New York City representation on TikTok would not be complete without @dutchdecc. He comments on the ability of all New Yorkers to simply “mind their own business” regardless of the circumstances.

Mitchell Crawford (@mitchell on TikTok)

Suburban dads get a send up from the very funny Mitchell Crawford. Claire points out he’s created a kind of “appointment-viewing” by only posting a few TikToks a week.

Tati and Devin (@thereal_tati) and (@devincaherly)

We might be too old for TikTok, but we still love these two. Tati creates awesome TikTok dances with Devin by her side.
