New Radio Show 'O-Yuge no Kokochi'

A new radio program titled 'O-Yuge no Kokochi', produced by O ltd. and Yuge Co., launched on September 7, 2026, on Radio Osaka. The show aims to integrate discussions of social issues into everyday conversations, starting with the simple premise that understanding these topics shouldn’t be intimidating.

A Conversational Spin on Social Issues

The show focuses on making social matters relatable by connecting them to our daily lives. Whether it’s through work, meals, shopping, or family interactions, there are numerous opportunities to discuss social issues in a more approachable manner. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by problems like climate change, gender equality, and poverty, the program encourages listeners to find ways to discuss these topics with their friends, families, and colleagues.

Making Social Issues Accessible

O ltd. has consistently worked with social entrepreneurs, NGOs, businesses, and researchers to address these issues. The mission behind 'O-Yuge no Kokochi' is to foster a conversation-friendly environment where talking about social challenges becomes natural. Rather than providing answers or complicating discussions, the show provides a space where listeners might think, “I want to share this tomorrow.”

Engaging Hosts and Dynamic Dialogue

The program is hosted by Shinji Ohata, the representative of O ltd., and Yasujiro Suzuki, joint representative of Yuge Co. Each episode dives into a specific theme for 15 minutes, discussing it from various perspectives, including business and culture. They aim to make topics more engaging and stimulate curiosity rather than presenting them as difficult issues to discuss.

From Radio to Podcast: Accessible Social Talk Anytime

'O-Yuge no Kokochi' airs every Monday from 21:15 to 21:30 on Radio Osaka. After the broadcast, it will be available on platforms such as Radiko, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and YouTube Podcast. The program will also expand its themes into articles, providing multiple ways for listeners to engage with social conversations.

Collaboration Opportunities for Businesses

The show is also seeking collaborations with firms working on social issues and social good. Many companies possess valuable insights and technologies related to societal challenges that remain undiscovered. 'O-Yuge no Kokochi' isn’t about broadcasting PR messages; it’s about reformulating these topics into engaging stories that listeners want to share.

The partnership program will feature up to seven selected companies, with opportunities for guest appearances included. Each episode will continue to be distributed as a podcast, and participating businesses will receive post-broadcast data.
