Live From Studio G Returns

Live From Studio G 2402 OPWN

This all-new episode of Live From Studio G goes off — mixing killer live sets, behind-the-scenes label talk, and straight-up talent that’s born and raised at Temple. Powered by Bell Tower Music, the student-run label that’s turning campus into a full-blown creative hub, this is the show that proves the next wave of music isn’t coming — it’s already here.

Live From Studio G 2402 JADA REESEBL

Jada Reese opens the episode and instantly owns the room. A Philly native with vocals that glide between smooth R&B and soul-pop realness, Jada’s tracks “Healing” and “Too Much” blend personal storytelling with major stage presence. She’s been singing since she was basically a toddler, and it shows.

Born in Ruijin, China, and adopted into an interracial family at 13 months old, Jada Reese discovered her voice early—singing for the first time on a bus ride in China, just after meeting her parents. She began piano lessons at age five, and by 13, was navigating clinical depression and anxiety beneath a cheerful exterior.

Music quickly became her outlet. Her first original song, Into The Night (2017), reflects her journey through darkness toward healing and self-acceptance. Jada’s work often explores identity, adoption, and the unknowns of her early life, expressed through music, poetry, and personal writing. Her art is deeply personal—and an invitation for others to share their own stories, too.

Next, Bell Tower Music staff break down what it’s actually like to run a record label while juggling deadlines, studio time, and group projects. Spoiler: it’s a grind, but the creative payoff is real.

Live From Studio G 2402 B5

Then Dogboys crash the set — and in the best way possible. After winning Temple’s Battle of the Bands, they hit the studio with “Modern Livin” and “Fishman,” giving chaos, charisma, and pure garage-rock energy. If Temple had a basement show anthem, it’d sound like this.

Closing it out, Erin Schneider talks through the process of releasing music through Bell Tower — from writing to recording to dropping a single while still doing homework. She’s flipping the script on what student artists can do.

Sisters In Freedom

1:30 PM – Sisters in Freedom
This film tells the story of Black and white women in the 1830s who defied social, economic, and cultural norms to join forces against slavery, white supremacy, and gender inequality.

Cecils Peeps

2:30 PM – Cecil’s People: The Freedom Fighters
Set in 1965 Philadelphia, this documentary highlights the youth-led protests to desegregate Girard College under the leadership of civil rights icon Cecil B. Moore.

Shedding Light

2502 Disability in SportsA

Shedding Light is TUTV’s first original series centered on disability, created to explore the lives, stories, history, and perspectives of the disability community—on campus, in Philadelphia, and beyond. Each episode highlights the voices of disabled individuals and challenges viewers to rethink what accessibility, representation, and inclusion really mean.

In this episode, hosts Jalyn Barrett and Emilie McCarthy turn their attention to the world of sports, taking a closer look at what accessibility in athletics looks like in practice. From local running clubs to Paralympic competition, the episode dives deep into how disabled athletes train, compete, and build community, while also highlighting the people working behind the scenes to make it all possible.

The story begins at Philly Achilles, a nonprofit running group that pairs disabled athletes with volunteer guides for weekly workouts and races. Founder Melissa Wilcox shares the story behind the Philly chapter’s launch and how the group has become a powerful source of connection, motivation, and visibility for athletes of all abilities. Members of the club also share their personal journeys, highlighting the joy and empowerment that comes from simply being in motion.

The episode then heads to Temple’s own Ann Dolloff, a professor and experienced adaptive sports coach, who shares her approach to coaching athletes with disabilities. She offers insight into how traditional coaching models are being reimagined to support every body—proving that with the right mindset, athleticism has no limits.

To round out the conversation, the team sits down with Renee Kirby, a former Temple faculty member and Paralympian, whose athletic career has taken her to the world stage. Her reflections on competing at the highest level and the work that continues after the spotlight fades offer a powerful reminder of how far we’ve come and how far we still have to go.

The Uptick

THE UPTICK MAIN LOGO

This week on The Uptick, the crew—Kamil Rozanski, Sydney Humes, Rachel Williams, Lauren Morris, and Nathan Mutale- brings a fresh lineup of stories that spotlight some seriously cool people doing big things around Philly.

First up: West Philly high schooler and breakout filmmaker Lanaa Dantzler joins the show to talk about her debut short film Five Angry Black Girls, which she made at Black Girls Film Camp down in Charlotte, NC. Lanaa opens up about how the camp helped her grow not just as a filmmaker, but as a storyteller and collaborator. From learning the ins and outs of production to forming tight creative bonds with other young Black women in film, the experience was a game-changer.

And it’s already paying off—Five Angry Black Girls has been officially selected for the Philadelphia Film Festival and the Essence Film Festival. Not bad for a first project! Lanaa talks about what it means to see her work on the big screen and where she hopes to take her film journey next.

The rest of the episode packs just as much punch. Emily Briggs laces up to cover the wild, high-speed world of Philly Roller Derby, where skaters are serving strength, speed, and serious style. Then, Jake Leonard hangs out with Max Wolf, a Temple student juggling college life while running his own textile business. Max breaks down how he got started, how he’s blending creativity with entrepreneurship, and what keeps him motivated.

To wrap it all up, Kevin Gruen takes a look at the recent rise in Bird Flu cases and how local healthcare workers are stepping up to respond. It’s a serious topic, but Kevin keeps it clear and grounded, with insights you’ll actually want to know.

A New Era On Air

tutv_manager_-_joe_schreiber

There’s a new face leading the charge at TUTV—though it’s not exactly an unfamiliar one. Emmy Award-winning producer and communications strategist Joe Schreiber has officially been named General Manager of Temple University Television. He steps into the role with more than 40 years of media magic under his belt and a vision tailored for the future of student-driven content.

Before joining TUTV, Schreiber worked as a senior videographer with Temple’s Strategic Marketing and Communications team. His career spans decades of award-winning work in television production, marketing, and strategy, including 23 years producing The George Michael Sports Machine on NBC, the longest-running locally produced syndicated sports show in TV history. He’s also the founder of a production company and has collaborated with big names like PBS, ESPN, and schools such as Notre Dame, Michigan, Maryland, and Auburn.

“This is more than just a professional opportunity—it’s a higher calling,” Schreiber said. “I’m honored to lead TUTV at a time when preparing students for the evolving digital media landscape is more vital than ever.”

klnwintergradhat

Schreiber holds a bachelor’s degree from Boston College and recently completed his master’s in communication management at Temple—so he’s no stranger to the cherry and white.

Taking over for Paul Gluck is no small feat. Gluck—also known around these parts as the G.O.A.T.—served as General Manager of TUTV for 15 years, helping shape it into one of the top student-run stations in the country. His legacy? Let’s just say it’s one for the books.

PaulEXPSP25

Under Gluck’s leadership, TUTV partnered with major networks like NBC10 and 6ABC/WPVI, provided more than 40 hours of live coverage during the 2017 papal visit, earned CNN affiliate status (allowing student reporters to go live during the 2016 DNC), and sent student crews to cover the Olympic Games in London and Paris.

“The privilege and pleasure of having served as TUTV’s general manager since we developed and launched the channel in 2010 has provided one of the most fulfilling chapters of my professional life,” Gluck shared. “The personal joy that I have experienced… is beyond description.”

While Gluck is stepping down from the GM post, he’s not stepping away. He’ll continue teaching at Klein and advising TUTV, making sure that legacy stays strong—and that the next generation gets the same top-tier mentorship.

TUTV is entering a new chapter with Schreiber at the helm. Expect bold ideas, fresh energy, and the same commitment to real-world, student-powered storytelling that’s always defined the station.

Welcome aboard, Joe.

We Need To Talk

WNTT SP25 show 3A

In this episode of We Need To Talk, hosts Victoria Perez, Sydney Humes, Sawyer Fellows, and Naya Ng take a step back from the headlines and hot takes to reflect on what’s next. The conversation gets personal as seniors Victoria and Naya share their post-graduation plans, opening up about the excitement and uncertainty of stepping into the “real world.”

But it’s not all goodbyes and career talk. This episode dives into some of the creative, bold, and even unconventional ways young women today are making money, from social media side hustles to redefining what it means to be an entrepreneur in your 20s. The group unpacks how financial independence is evolving, especially for women who are navigating life on their own terms.

We Need To Talk SP25#3 A

The hosts also spark a lively and thought-provoking debate on the male vs. female gaze, what it means, how it shows up in everyday life, and how social media continues to blur the lines. It’s a conversation that’s as insightful as it is unfiltered, and one that digs into how young women are reclaiming the way they see themselves and each other.

Before they sign off, the graduating seniors offer heartfelt advice to first-year students, sharing what they’ve learned, both in and outside the classroom, about confidence, growth, and staying grounded through all the chaos. It’s a fitting close to a season that’s been all about honesty, empowerment, and showing up as your full self.

Artists Among Us

Artist Among Us - Music B

TUTV’s Artists Among Us has been turning up the volume on creativity since its debut in 2024, and in its latest installment, the team doesn’t miss a beat. The Art of Music takes viewers on a high-energy tour through the rhythms and riffs of Temple University’s thriving DIY music scene—one that’s raw, real, and ready to rock.

At the heart of the special is a house show that struck a chord with students and the local community alike. Held in collaboration with The Underworld—a student-run venue known for giving small bands a big stage—the event featured live sets from standout local acts MIAU and All The Flowers. Whether it was dreamy synths or gritty guitar lines, each band brought their own sound to the mic, showing just how electric the underground scene can be.

But this wasn’t just a gig—it was a gathering of art and activism. The Artists Among Us team handed out limited-run zines that spotlighted student artists across mediums, from painters and poets to fashion designers and filmmakers. And in true harmony with the spirit of community, the event raised funds for Gaza Thrift, a mutual aid initiative supporting Palestinian communities. Talk about a lineup that hits every note—art, awareness, and action.

Back in the studio, the tempo didn’t drop. The crew shifted gears to record a session with indie band TORO in Studio G, Klein College’s very own professional recording space. The sound was crisp, the energy was high, and the takes were tighter than a drumroll. Then came a different kind of vertical challenge: recording a music video with For Rent—inside an elevator. Yes, you read that right. The band squeezed their set (and their amps) into the confined space, proving that when it comes to making art, the only limit is your imagination—or the floor count.

This episode also lifts the curtain on the behind-the-scenes hustle it takes to orchestrate such a dynamic production. From scheduling shoots and hauling gear to syncing up editing timelines like a well-practiced band, the Artists Among Us crew kept things in tune from start to finish. It’s a reminder that even in the DIY world, collaboration is key, and creativity doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it happens in a jam session.

La Charla Returns

lacharla2502

La Charla, TUTV’s first Spanish-language talk show, returns with a powerful hour-long special that dives into one of the most pressing issues in American politics today: Immigration. Known for its vibrant debates, fresh perspectives, and student-led discussions, this episode brings together timely news, personal stories, and community insight to unpack the current political climate and its impact on the Latinx community.

The conversation focuses on the evolving state of immigration policy in the U.S., including updates on ICE practices, deportations, and the real-life effects these changes are having on families and students across the country. With immigration often making headlines but rarely explored in depth from a student perspective, La Charla fills that gap, amplifying voices and fostering understanding through meaningful dialogue.

Joining the panel is a representative from Temple Immigrant Rights Advocates (TIRA), who shares how students are organizing on campus and building solidarity with immigrant communities throughout Philadelphia. The discussion expands to highlight local support systems, including resources from The Welcoming Center and Resolve Philly, which are helping immigrants navigate everything from legal aid to employment opportunities.

But it’s not all heavy policy talk. In true La Charla style, the episode also celebrates culture, resilience, and joy. To close on a hopeful note, the panel reflects on the rich contributions of Latinx individuals across the U.S.—in the arts, politics, education, and beyond—and emphasizes the importance of staying informed, engaged, and connected.

TUTV Wins Double Silver

Temple University Television (TUTV) is proud to announce that our Digital Production Center has been recognized with two prestigious Silver Telly Awards in the 46th annual competition honoring excellence in video and television across all screens. This marks the first time TUTV’s digital and social media content has been submitted for consideration, and to win two awards right out of the gate is a powerful validation of the talent, creativity, and storytelling happening within our community.

Founded in 1979, the Telly Awards initially recognized excellence in local, regional, and cable television commercials. Over the decades, the program has evolved alongside the media landscape to include non-broadcast video, digital and social media content, branded storytelling, immersive experiences, and documentary filmmaking. Today, the Telly Awards represent one of the highest honors in video production across platforms, both online and offline.

TUTV earned Silver recognition in two competitive categories this year. The first award went to a spot titled TUTV in 3 Words, which received Silver in the General-Student: Social Media category. 3-Words is a short, high-energy promo created by a dynamic student team: Jenny Frevola (KLN’25), Kevin Gruen (KLN’26), and Micki Hernandez (KLN’28). It captures the heart of TUTV by asking one simple question: How would you describe your show in just three words? What follows is a fast-cut montage of student voices—funny, sincere, chaotic, creative—each offering a glimpse into the wide range of shows produced at TUTV Whether it’s sketch comedy, cultural commentary, sports, food, or talk shows, the piece showcases the variety, passion and personality behind TUTV’s student-run programming. It’s vibrant, authentic, and perfectly reflects the spirit of the community that made it.

The second Silver Telly went to a promo titled TUTV Live in Paris: Away Team in the General-News & Information: Social Media Video category. This promo is a comprehensive snapshot of TUTV’s once-in-a-lifetime international production, TUTV Live in Paris during the Summer of 2024. The promo was written, produced, directed, and edited by Micki Hernandez, who serves as TUTV’s Digital Content Manager and is a part-time graduate student at Klein College. The spot showcases the incredible work of the Paris Team, including students, volunteers, and crew who poured their time, talent, and energy into making it happen. It’s more than just a highlight reel; it’s proof of performance and a celebration of what’s possible when passionate people take the lead.

Congratulations to all of the 2025 Telly Award nominees and winners!

The Art of Living

Spring 2025 Student Project Showcase Art of Living

The Spring 2025 edition of the TUTV Student Project Showcase is here, and it’s shining a well-deserved spotlight on what it means to live fully in life’s Golden Era. The Art of Living, a short film by KLN Class of 2025 graduate students Neil Ortiz and Stacy Landrum, celebrates senior citizens in their ‘Golden Era’ who are aging with energy, purpose, and a whole lot of rhythm.

Forget the stereotypes. This film isn’t about slowing down, it’s about moving forward. Neil and Stacy visit local communities where older adults dance, sweat, and laugh their way through retirement. They start in Broomall at Mostly Waltz, a monthly dance event where instructors Peggy Leiby and Ret Turner keep the music—and the feet—moving. Then it’s off to Pottstown, where Gail Bingham leads a high-energy dance aerobics class that’s anything but low-impact. In Mount Airy, Tina Allen’s Soul Line Dance class fills the room with rhythm, confidence, and joy.

And if you thought pickleball was just a trend, think again. The film highlights how this fast-growing sport has become a favorite for seniors looking for fun, fitness, and a little friendly competition.
