Naoko Nozawa, 63, Takes on Her First Podcast! Theme: 'Aging'

Naoko Nozawa, 63, embarks on her first-ever podcast!

'Naoko Nozawa Oi! Aging! Oi!' Starts Streaming Monday, July 6th at 5 AM!

First Guests: Michiko Shimizu & Oniyadokko Tsubaki!

ABC Radio will launch a new podcast program, 'Naoko Nozawa Oi! Aging! Oi!', hosted by Naoko Nozawa, starting at 5 AM on Monday, July 6, 2026.

Nozawa, at 63 years old, is challenging herself with her first podcast.

The program's theme is, quite simply, 'aging'.

This podcast will transform anxieties and fears about daily aging, common 'aging experiences' everyone feels, and the worries and discoveries that come with getting older, into laughter and empathy, incorporating listener mail about 'aging'.

For the commemorative first episode, Michiko Shimizu, a long-time friend of Nozawa, and Oniyadokko Tsubaki will appear.

'When do you feel yourself aging?' 'Have you started anything new recently?'

'What's a recent 'aging episode' you've had?'

We'll deliver plenty of candid and endearing talk that can only be shared now that we've gotten older.

If you can laugh off aging, life becomes more interesting!

A new sensation podcast that positively enjoys getting older with fellow 'aging companions'.

Please look forward to 'Naoko Nozawa Oi! Aging! Oi!'

Comment from Naoko Nozawa:

Everyone who's starting to age!

Let's laugh off aging and live joyfully! Listen!
