When Anakin can't sleep - which is most of the time - he tunes in to the local college radio station, just grateful to have someone else who sounds like they're awake at the same time he is.
His favorite quickly becomes Ben Kenobi, broadcasting his show Guiding Light from the station just a few miles away every Tuesday and Thursday from two to five a.m. Ben's musical tastes are...eclectic, to say the least, but he's funny and knowledgeable and Anakin looks forwarding to listening to him every week.
...and sure, okay, maybe Anakin's got a little bit of a crush on the guy. But it's not like that's ever going to go anywhere. Anakin is busy with his job, and his kids, and Ben is just a voice on the radio. They've never crossed paths. They're never going to cross paths.
That is, at least, until one cold November morning when Ben asks anyone out there who's listening to call into the station.
Anakin can't dial the phone fast enough.
This fic's first fan, way back in 2023 when I first started talking about writing radio DJ Obi-Wan, was @kingdomvel, and thank you, friend, because I know this is late but it likely wouldn't have (ever!) happened without you and your excitement for this concept.
Speaking of starting fics three years ago and not finishing them until now, I'm also grateful to @tideswept and the Order of Overdue Obikin for giving me a community and a deadline to actually sit down and write, and, as always, for @underacalicosky, @palfriendpatine66, and @somethingsteff.
For your help with the section in chapter four where Anakin talks about his favorite video game soundtracks, thank you to @aigoos, @lilredghost, @renlyslittlerose, and @kidrest!
I can't shout out any of them on Tumblr, but my inspiration for this fic took a lot of cues from Wolfman Jack (both the real person and the character of himself he played in American Graffiti), Obi-Wan in Lego Star Wars: Summer Vacation, DJ Matt Pinfield, and Nick Offerman, whose book Good Clean Fun really helped me out when I decided it was a good idea to make Anakin a woodworker despite the fact that I know nothing about woodworking.
Also my dad, who is the only person I know who listens to Mott the Hoople.
