Video game legend Hideo Kojima is starting his own podcast and the gaming world is making big ears. But not only gamers get their money’s worth.
Kojima talks about his passions
Radioverse is the name of the new podcast by video game developer Hideo Kojima, which celebrated its launch exclusively on Audible last Friday. The podcast describes itself on the website as follows:
“Each time we welcome a variety of guests, and talk about deep topics related to games and movies that you can’t hear anywhere else.”
In the first episode, Kojima spoke to his guest, YouTuber Otsuichi, about his own beginnings, the Metal Gear franchise, and Death Stranding. Among other things, it was about the “goal” or the “vision” that Kojima pursued in his games (source: IGN).
In the future, however, the podcast will not only be about video games, but also about films, because anyone who knows Kojima knows that the Japanese developer is a passionate film fan. According to his Twitter bio, his body is made up of 70 percent movies. Accordingly, Kojima also tweets about films and their makers, for example about Mad Max director George Miller:
From Metal Gear to Silent Hills
The podcast will be particularly interesting for future Kojima projects. After all, according to the video game developer, he has two previously unknown games in the making (source: Gamerant). So it’s very likely that Kojima will also say a word or two about these projects in his podcast. Fans are still hoping for a return from Silent Hills, which has been a topic since it was discontinued in 2015.
So it remains to be seen what else Kojima will discuss in his podcast. What is already certain, however, is that only Japanese-speaking listeners will know immediately! Because in the Radioverse (for the time being) only Japanese is spoken. Which of course won’t stop international fans from preparing the most important news for the rest of the world in every language.
