'boss with idol regularly' is the wordplay.
'boss' becomes 'stud' ('stud' can be a synonym of 'boss'**).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'regularly' means one should take alternating letters (regularly take one letter, leave next etc.).
The alternating letters of 'idol' are 'io'.
'stud'+'io'='STUDIO'

'in' is the link.
