Pride, Playoffs & Popsicles: June on TikTok

Let’s go Knicks! This week, Dena is joined by Melissa, and they kick things off with the only thing more dramatic than TikTok: Knicks playoff basketball and the Tony Awards. From Broadway superfans to basketball fans suddenly discovering musical theater, they break down the crossover content taking over their FYPs. Featuring a video from @jbjams [https://www.tiktok.com/@jbjams/video/7647958178449083661?_r=1&_t=ZT-972uAlkx5x8].
