In your own space, create a fanwork.
I do not normally write RPF, but One Topic at a Time called for submissions of fanfic about himself and The Click during his Christmas livestream. They plan on doing a livestream or a podcast episode with Salty the Alien, reading out the fanfics, something they have done before. I do not have the confidence to submit a fic for that, but it was inspiration enough for this challenge.
As it's a radio host AU, I don't think you need to know them/the fandom to get it.
For some context as to who One Topic at a Time (OT) and The Click are, they are YouTubers. Both primarily react to memes on Reddit. The Click does most cursed content, reacting to subreddits like r/Insane Parents, r/Found Satan, r/FacebookMoms, and r/FurryIRL. While OT is known for being more wholesome and primarily reacts to the various LGBTQIA+ supportive subreddits, like r/Traaaaaaaaaaaaaaans and r/Sappho and her Friend, though he has been switching to more gaming livestreams, content wise. They have a podcast together called The Shipped Podcast, the title being a play off of the amount of fans that ship them together, where they talk about current event-ish things, youtube related pop culture, and just facts of life. OT is in Canada and The Click is in Sweden.
I have no plans of posting this anywhere else. Please do not repost.

"Welcome back to KCRE, where the hits come at you twenty-five hours a day. You're listening to One Topic at a Time with One Topic and Salty the Alien, where we take things one topic at a time. Salty, who's our next caller?" OT said in his most sultry voice, this time, without giggling.
Salty leaned in to the mic in the producer's booth, sly grin across his face. "It's your late night mystery man on line three, OT."
OT's face fell. He slid his chair away from the desk to get a better look at his producer. "...Is there no one else?"
"Nope." Salty was clearly not the least bit sorry.
"No one at all?" OT chose to ignore the slight high pitched whine at the end of the question.
"Come on, he's not that bad."
OT slid back to his proper position, pushed his sunglasses into place, pulled his mic close, and pushed the buttons to connect with the caller. "Alright, my guy, before you say a single word, we are going to have some ground rules. There will be no weird voices, no tongue slurping, no moaning, no asking questions about what I am wearing, and no singing, alright? You're on the air with One Topic at a Time, what is your burning observation?" He wagged his finger at the non-present caller the entire statement and sat with the grumpiest of frowns, waiting for a response.
"...UWU," came jarringly over the airwaves.
OT muted the call. "And on that note, it's time for a music break, please enjoy the musical stylings of those crazy space guys, Dirty Space Groove and their new single, 'My Sweet Space Dream'." He pushed the button to start the pre-loaded tape much harder than necessary.
After a few deep breaths, he pushed a few buttons and picked up the receiver on the phone. "Seriously, Click, I'm on the air!"
"But Topiccy, no one has come in for three hours," Click's voice sounded genuinely distressed. OT could picture his friend behind the counter at the vacant video store, surrounded by VHS tapes, under the harsh fluorescent lights. It was like the beginning of a horror movie.
"Are they still letting you do movie picks?" He remembered Click's choices for the recommended shelf being somewhat questionable.
"So far." The pause beforehand and careful wording led OT to believe there had, in fact, been a discussion about it.
"I will let you do one, ONE, on air promo for one of your 'Click Picks,' as long as you don't do any of the things I mentioned earlier... and no u-w-u-ing."
"Can I also call back later?"
The excitement in Click's voice worried OT. "Only if you have a discussion topic."
There was a distressing pause on the other end of the line, that prompted OT to add, "And it can't be about anything that may or may not be in my pants or anything to do with the possibility of my blushing."
"You're mean, Topiccy." It sounded like a threat.
A few moments later, there was a sigh on the other end of the line. "Fine, I will play by your little rules." Click had pulled out what he called his "super Swedish" voice for emphasis.
One Topic could already hear Click's mind plotting to find the loop holes OT hadn't foreseen, as Salty was signaling to him that the song was coming to an end and his next caller was another of their regulars with her nightly animal fact. It was time to go back to work.
