If you’re in the UK or the US, here’s how to listen to WSQK The Squawk radio station and find the codes to gain access to the secret fan event.
Nerds, listen up. If you’ve watched Stranger Things 5, then you’ll know all about WSQK The Squawk, the radio station fronted by the icons themselves Robin and Steve. But did you know that WSQK is real and you can actually listen to it IRL?
Yes, WSQK The Squawk — A Stranger Things Radio Station launched on Global Player just before Stranger Things 5 Vol 1 was released and it blasts non-stop ’80s bangers, bops and ballads. It’s also presented by a line-up of American DJs, including Vance Goodman and Mindy Flare, along with a full run of retro American-style ads straight out of Hawkins.
On the station, you’ll find Rewind at 9: Turning Hawkins Upside Down, where a track played backwards puts fans to the test, as well as the resident Agony Aunt ‘Talk to Tammy’ and Dial-A-Dedication, where you can get a shout out on air (register messages via GlobalPlayer.com).
If you haven’t listened to it yet and are dying to jump in and discover all the hidden easter eggs, here’s how to tune in…
