Radke appeared as a contestant on the US reality TV show “Summer House.”
The show, something of a cross between reality hits “Big Brother” and “Love Island,” follows a group of friends who are renting a house together in the Hamptons.
Radke has been a mainstay of the show since season 1, and is still a main cast member in season 7.
Radke has cultivated an image as something of a ladies’ man, and is characterized on the show by his roguishness and flirtatiousness.
Radke has been involved in several romances (and heartbreaks) on the show, and has frequently crossed words with several of the other housemates during his time there.
Loverboy

As a result of his time on “Summer House,” Radke formed a fast relationship with fellow housemate Kyle Cook.
The two would later go on to collaborate on Cook’s brainchild, the alcoholic beverage brand “Loverboy.”
Radke worked as VP of Sales at Loverboy for 3 years, helping to develop, promote and market the brand’s popular range of alcoholic drinks.
Loverboy’s range of hard teas, canned cocktails, and spritzers are marketed as the perfect party drinks and are extremely popular with younger people.
Radke stepped down as VP of Sales in February 2023, citing the fact that it was very difficult to mix business with pleasure, and that he and Cook’s professional relationship was beginning to sour their personal one.
The two reportedly remain friends, and Radke remains an investor in Loverboy.
