Will Carmack: LA vs NYC creative scene

NYC Local Guides - A podcast by Jennifer O'Brien

LA vs NYC? Will is one of the newest New Yorkers on this podcast and the first person I actually interviewed for this podcast! Special guest performance by a NYC heater. Will’s fresh perspective draws lights on some things New Yorkers forget are unique to us. He only just moved here from Virginia by way of LA about a year ago. He compares the creator scene in NYC to LA and explains competition in LA and why he thinks New York is a wonderland compared to LA. What makes someone a New Yorker? He breaks it down from the way we walk to how proud we are of our tap water. Together we analyze why you might be more likely to see people crying outside in NYC than most other cities from small apartments to roommates. Will is proud to say after visiting his local Bodega daily, they now know his usual order. He talks about what it feels like to learn the subway while people are running to catch trains around him and catching his first rat in his apartment.
