Hideo Kojima is Starting a Podcast

Hideo Kojima is one of the gaming industry’s most recognized names. From recent titles like Death Stranding to the monumental Metal Gear franchise, Kojima’s distinct visual and narrative styles have influenced the gaming landscape in many ways. Kojima’s popularity is so vast that he has even been referenced in video games that are not his own, such as his cameo in CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077.

Between his contributions to video games and their lasting legacy, another thing that Kojima is known for is his love for a wide variety of other media, such as film and music. Film and filmmaking in particular have always been a major influence on Kojima’s work, and he consistently talks about movies he has seen on social media and even puts out lists of the top films he’s seen each year. It's clear that Kojima is a passionate person and seeks to express that passion every chance he gets. Now, Kojima will have another opportunity to share that passion in a new project.

On February 4th, Kojima launched a brand-new podcast on Amazon and its audiobooks service Audible. Titled Hideo Kojima’s Radioverse, it sees Kojima and a variety of guests getting to talk all about video games, movies, and more.

For his first episode, Kojima and his guest Otsuichi, from the YouTube let’s play channel 2Bro, discuss a variety of topics. These range from Kojima’s start with the Metal Gear franchise, his specific aim for each title he creates, as well as details around Death Stranding and what Kojima’s next game will be like. The podcast is presented in Kojima’s native language of Japanese, so English-speaking countries may have trouble tuning in to understand what’s being discussed
