Behind the Scenes of Press Releases: New Podcast Launch

OCEAN INCUBATE LLC, based in Meguro, Tokyo, has announced the launch of its new podcast called ‘Behind the Press Release’. This exciting series aims to uncover the stories and thoughts behind press releases by inviting PR professionals and company executives to share their unique perspectives.

Rationale for the Podcast

While press releases focus on accuracy and impartiality, they often lack the depth required to convey the underlying thoughts and passions of the companies involved. As a result, the very context that could enhance public understanding of the business often goes unrecognized. By utilizing audio, this podcast seeks to bridge that gap and present information in a more engaging manner.

Podcasts are uniquely suited to capture the essence of conversations. They allow audiences to connect with content during their commute or while multitasking—enabling greater emotional resonance and understanding. This initiative aims to reach a broader audience and provide deeper insights into the motivations and stories behind the businesses featured.

Podcast Details

• - Title: ‘Behind the Press Release’
• - Launch Date: Planned for mid-February 2026
• - Duration: Approximately 30-40 minutes per episode
• - Available on: Major podcast platforms including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Amazon Music

Podcast Concept

This podcast invites guests to explore thoughts and conflicts that were left unsaid within the confines of a traditional press release. It aims to delve deeper into the decision-making processes through authentic platforms, allowing stories to emerge in an organic way. Each narrative adds richness that enhances understanding, transforming what would typically be a fleeting news piece into a compelling story that resonates with audiences.
