Navigating the Ride-Hailing Revolution: Kyodo News’s Podcast Explores the Impact of Uber and LINE Taxi on Japan

Kyodo News’s podcast, episode 41 features three of its reporters – Horiuchi-san, Eduardo, and Donican discussing the ride-hailing services available in Japan. The group reflects on their experiences using similar services outside of Japan and contemplates taking on a side job as a driver. The conversation is particularly relevant given the recent launch of ride-hailing services in Tokyo and other parts of Japan as an initiative to address the declining number of taxi drivers.

The podcast provides a bilingual approach for English learners and focuses on the intricacies of news writing. It also offers insights into translating complex Japanese phrases into English. The journalists engage in lively discussions about recent articles while occasionally veering off on unrelated tangents.

Listeners can explore more episodes, including those centered around topics such as the Tokyo Toilet project, cherry blossoms, and Peruvian food. Each episode brings a unique perspective to various subjects, allowing English learners to delve deeper into the world of journalism and news reporting.

Kyodo News’s podcast is an excellent resource for those interested in improving their English language skills through engaging with news content. With its focus on nuanced storytelling and translation expertise, it provides valuable insights into Japanese culture and society.
