"What Time Does It Start Today? by OooDa and Rio Tsuchiya" is scheduled to begin distribution on HiBiKi Radio Station starting Thursday, May 16, 2024.
This is a radio program where OooDa (@OooDa), a popular esports caster who serves as a play-by-play commentator for official leagues such as PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS and VALORANT, and Rio Tsuchiya (@Tsuchiya_Rio), a popular voice actress known for roles such as Madoka Higuchi in The Idolmaster Shiny Colors and Misaki Imashino in Blue Archive, explore the appeal of esports!

Program Overview

A program where popular game shoutcaster OooDa and popular voice actress Rio Tsuchiya discuss the "now" and "future" of esports with guests from various genres. Precisely because attention is rising due to the success of Japanese teams in world championships since 2022 and the emergence of popular streamers, we aim to create a program as easily enjoyable audio content where people who don't know much about esports can come to like it, and people who already like esports can like it even more!

PR TIMES

The content is reportedly aimed specifically at esports beginners, though there are currently few radio programs with an esports theme.
Core gamers who usually enjoy watching esports can enjoy the show even while playing games!
