I believe the answer is:

loki

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'meddlesome deity described as modest' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'understated on the radio?' is the wordplay.
'understated' becomes 'low-key' (I've seen this before).
'on the radio?' shows a homophone (sound like) (I've seen 'on the radio' mean this).
'lowkey' is a homophone of 'LOKI'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for loki that I've seen before include "Gossip" , "Norse god of mischief" .)
