Canon[]
Season 1[]
Alastor is the Overload who own the souls of Husk and Niffty, and sees the two as his most trusted allies. With their silhouettes seen standing behind Alastor briefly in the pilot version of the Radio Demon's story. When Alastor decides to offer his assistance to help Charlie with her hotel, he brings Niffty and Husk in to serve as staff. Niffty being happy to work as the maid, while Husk is forced to play the role of bartender. Despite Alastor seeing both of them as the allies he trusts the most, he get along with Niffty than Husk. With him being fund of Niffty's sadistic personality, while Husk was once an overlord who felt that he had no choice but to sell his soul to the Radio Demon. Leading to Husk having a dislike towards the two, though he does start to warm up to Niffty after taking part in Vaggie's trust exercise. Though Husk still resents the way Alastor treats him as his personal bartender and pet.
While many fear the Radio Demon, Niffty is shown to be fund of Alastor and feels comfortable around him. As Alastor allows her to climb onto his shoulders and lets Niffty gift him with the dead roach accessories she makes. As for Husk, he is shown to not be afraid to voice his thoughts and options of Alastor, as he mentions that Alastor forcing him to play bartender is the only reason he's at the hotel at all; while Alastor was in the room. When Niffty chimes in to this statement, by saying that she likes being forced, Husk tells her to keep that to herself. Niffty and Husk are also shown to be acquainted with Alastor's friend from his living days, Mimzy. Though the two have different options of her, as Alastor makes time to help Mimzy with whatever trouble she has got herself into. Having Husk trying to advice Alastor about Mimzy, but the Radio Demon having confidence in his power and reputation tells Husk not to worry. This gets Husk to become frustrated as he ends up reminding Alastor that he too is on a leash, a remind that gets Alastor to threaten and remind Husk of his place. It is unknown if Niffty also knows this fact about Alastor, or its just Husk who is aware of Alastor's secret deal.
Although the moment in "The Show Must Go On" was very brief, as Alastor re-joins the group near the end of the song, Final, it shows the different options Husk and Niffty have of their Overlord. With Niffty being happy to see Alastor is alright and hugs his legs, Husk was shown to be less happy then the others were by Alastor's sudden return. Since Alastor had left Husk and Niffty to continue fighting Adam's army without him, after he retreated from getting hurt by Heaven's first man. Though this didn't stop Husk from partly take in the group hug and then stands beside Alastor and Niffty, as they admire the rebuild hotel they'll continue to work and help out at.
Season 2[]
Due to Alastor's battle with Adam, the Radio Demon was left severely injured, not being the most powerful Overlord in Hell now. He looks for solutions and prompts Vox to fight him, but the three Vees fight against him, leaving him at disadvantage. Niffty, watching Alastor is in danger through live television, runs back to the hotel to get Husk and rushes to Alastor's aid in his battle against the Vees. Husk asks Alastor if they are "still fighting these nobodies," implying the six of them have fought before. After finally being equals, each hotel member fights against a Vee: Alastor against Vox, Husk against Velvette, and Niffty against Valentino. When Alastor sees Niffty about to be killed by Valentino, he shows genuine concern and seizes the opportunity to strike a deal with Vox: to become his prisoner in exchange for Niffty and Husk's release.
At the end of the season, the trio fight against the Vees again, but this time Niffty fights against Velvette and Husk against Valentino. Niffty and Husk are seen helping save Hell along Emily, Charlie and other Overlords, and later on Alastor joins to help them as they sing.

Fanon[]
Radio Trio is one of the well liked friendship trios of the main Hazbin cast, next to the Hazbin Hotel Trio. After the episodes "It's a Deal" and "Curtain Call", this trio was put back to back with the Vees, as each member fought each other; Alastor fighting against Vox both episodes, Niffty first fighting Valentino and then Velvette, and Husk fighting first against Velvette and then Valentino.
The three knowing each other before the events of the pilot and main series has helped the ship gain support. Even though there weren't many interactions with all three of them together in the first season, as the last minute moments of the Final song was the only time fans were give a Radio Trio moment. That's why fans are hoping they'll be proper moments between the trio, as the series continues.
Despite the way Alastor treated Husk in "Dad Beat Dad" and appears to favour Niffty, people like to think that he cares for both of them deep down. Making himself look like he doesn't for the sake of his image, as the feared Radio Demon. Fans have also wondered how Alastor and Husk came to have met Niffty, since the story of how Husk came to be owned by Alastor was told, it has fans express and explore their theories in their fanwork. From Niffty originally been owned by another Overlord, before meeting the two, to her being a former Overlord like Husk was.
The father-daughter vibes fans get from Alastor and Niffty, while RadioHusk is one of Husk's top ships, it has some people see the trio as a family. With Alastor and Husk as the dads, while Niffty is placed as their daughter. There have also been occasions when the Radio Trio has been treated as a poly ship.
