Robin Buckley and Steve Harrington, AKA Rockin Robin and Stebe, turn The Squawk into a lgbtq+ radio program.
They talk queer history, give queer book recommendations, read sent-in letters, and of course, take phone calls.
Out of all the jobs they’ve had, they love this one the best.
Although, they’re not getting paid for it.
They have made quite an impact though, even to themselves.
Throughout this whole process, Robin has felt the most like herself and Steve came to realize he is bisexual.
Listeners really enjoy tuning in to hear the both of them speak.
Right now, they’re taking phone calls.
A segment where they allow the caller (who they urge to remain anonymous, for their safety) to ask for advice or to vent about something or to also recommend anything queer.
Sometimes during this segment, they’ve gotten the occasional call from someone saying something vile, but for the most part they’ve had nothing but positive experiences.
They just ended the first call, when the voice of the second caller chimes through.
They know this voice immediately.
This caller, goes from their usual conversation starter to immediately flirting.
Steve and Robin can’t help but burst into a fit of laughter, at this caller’s continued antics.
This caller of course, being Steve’s partner, Eddie Munson.
Other listeners know who this caller is, not by name (anonymity and all that), or by the unknown connection that their favorite radio hosts share with them, but because this caller calls once a broadcast just to flirt with Stebe.
Robin and Steve banter with them, like they do every other time, they end the call after 5 minutes, and continue on with the show.
Once the broadcast is over, they tidy up, turn everything off, lock up the studio, and Steve drives them back to their place.
Only to be met by his gremlin of a partner, happy to finally see both of them, but mostly him.
As they sit on their couch, about to watch a movie, Steve can’t help but to feel so lucky to have found two people (his lesbian best friend to his right, and his nonbinary partner to his left) in this life that make him feel the most like himself.
And they feel the exact same way about him.
