She developed the popular Tumblr, "Little Known Black History Facts", now a feature on Another Round. She was named the Ida B. Wells Media Expert-in-Residence at Wake Forest University's Anna Julia Cooper Center from 2016–2017. Clayton and her co-worker Heben Nigatu launched the first episode of Another Round, produced by BuzzFeed, on March 25, 2015. The show received positive critical acclaim. The A.V. Club described Clayton and Nigatu as "passionate and sharp in their distinct points of view." It was named to "Best of 2015" lists by iTunes, Slate, Vulture, and The Atlantic. An Okayplayer profile said, "known all over the digital world as one of the sharpest voices in the podcast game as well as Black Twitter, Tracy Clayton is consistently one of the smartest people in whatever room she occupies." Elle praised Clayton and co-host Heben Nigatu's ability to "serve up a blend of humor, politics, and frank observation that not even the most deft hosts can seem to replicate." Clayton made headlines in the fall when she pressed then-Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to address the crime bill her husband passed as president: 'o you ever look at the state of black America and think, 'wow, we really fucked this up for black people?' " The Guardian praised their work as "witty, irreverent, intelligent." Also writing for The Guardian, critic Sasha Frere-Jones called Clayton and Nigatu "leading American cultural critics." Clayton announced she had been laid off by BuzzFeed on September 19, 2018, along with most of the other staffers who had worked on BuzzFeed's original podcasts. On February 11, 2019, Netflix's Strong Black Lead initiative announced it was launching a new podcast featuring interviews with legendary Black members of Hollywood, called Strong Black Legends, to be hosted by Clayton. The first podcast premiered on February 12, 2019 and Lynn Whitfield was the guest. Clayton also hosts the interview podcast Going Through It launched by Mailchimp in July 2020, featuring 14 prominent Black women. | As of at least March 2017, Clayton lives in Brooklyn. | Before joining BuzzFeed full-time in 2014, Bryant wrote for Madame Noire, Uptown Magazine, The Urban Daily, PostBourgie and The Root.
