    FSTV Podcast: Expect Diversity 5.4.26

    In our last episode of the semester, Professor David Takitaki leads a thoughtful, honest conversation with Ferris State University students about political engagement, media influence, and the challenges of navigating today’s complex world.  Featuring perspectives from students at different stages of their academic and personal journeys, the discussion explores how young people are forming opinions, where they get their information, and what motivates them to participate—or not—in civic life. From social media and podcasts to personal experiences and campus leadership, the conversation highlights the diverse ways students connect with important issues. The group reflects on relatability in leadership, the role of entertainment in shaping political awareness, and the importance of finding one’s voice in a rapidly evolving media landscape. At its core, this episode is about dialogue—creating space for meaningful, respectful conversations that encourage understanding, curiosity, and growth.

    FSTV Podcast: Do They Click? 4.20.26

    In this special episode of Do They Click, host Justin Reifeis, aka “The Love Doctor,” welcomes back two returning guests from previous episodes for a brand-new pairing. While both Andrew and Tatum have appeared on the show before, they have never been matched with each other until now, making this a fresh connection with a different kind of energy from the start.  Through “Agree or Disagree,” “Love Roulette,” and the "Connection Round," the two talk about dating experience, ideal first dates, personal goals, non-negotiables, and the qualities they value most in a partner. With a mix of playful banter, honest answers, and genuine chemistry, this episode stands out as a unique return for two familiar faces in a completely new dynamic.  As the conversation unfolds, viewers get to see whether their first impressions hold up, what common ground they find, and whether this new pairing leads to a real spark by the final decision.

    FSTV Podcast: Do They Click? 3.30.26

    This week on Do They Click?, Justin introduces two Michigan students who seem perfectly matched on paper: James, a beach‑loving triathlete studying HVAC, and Kenna, a competitive track athlete and architecture major with a passion for the outdoors. Their energy is warm from the start, and the Agree or Disagree round reveals plenty of shared values like family goals, personality over looks, and a mutual love for adventure. But cracks begin to show.  James isn’t big on pets, while Kenna practically grew up in a barnyard. He dreams of grand, travel‑heavy first dates; she leans toward communication and steady connection. As Love Roulette pushes them into deeper territory ideal dates, love languages, and tough relationship scenarios their differences become clearer, even as they share sweet moments about faith, family, and future dreams. The Connection Round brings genuine vulnerability, thoughtful questions, and a few laughs, but when it’s time for the final thumbs‑up or thumbs‑down,  The decision is yet to be revealed if you watch today!!!

    FSTV Podcast: Expect Diversity 3.30.26

    "It's important to understand and to study both how war happens, and how peace can happen," -David Takitaki   In this intense episode of Expect Diversity, host David Hilton brings together three powerful voices to break down the realities of war, peace, and the people caught in the middle. Historian Dr. Christian Peterson exposes the political pressure, groupthink, and overconfidence that push nations into conflicts they rarely understand. Political scientist Dr. David Taki reveals how global power, fear, and unstable alliances shape the decisions that lead to war and why peace is so hard to maintain. Then the conversation turns personal with Scott Percy, a Ferris State student and former National Guard specialist who served two tours in Iraq. Percy shares raw experiences from convoy security to IED threats, challenging assumptions about who serves and who sacrifices. Together, these guests confront the questions most people avoid: When is war justified? Who pays the price? And what does peace demand in a world built on fear and power? This episode doesn’t just talk about war. it forces you to rethink everything you thought you knew outside your circle.
