No Radio No Life (Subtitle: The Gamer Siblings Seem To Be Putting On A Radio Show) is the web radio show associated with the "No Game No Life" anime, hosted by the seiyuu for Sora (Matsuoka Yoshitsugu) and Shiro (Kayano Ai). It was originally broadcast every Tuesday on HiBiKi Radio Station from 8 April to 8 July 2014 for a total of 14 episodes, in parallel with the anime episodes. Following the anime's conclusion, "No Radio No Life" was subsequently revived on a fortnightly schedule for another 12 episodes from 29 July to December 30. It won the "Best Radio Show" and "Show You'd Like To See Revived" awards at the First AniRaji Awards in March 2015, and a special celebratory episode was released after.
The show then went on an indefinite hiatus but was revived in March 2017 in order to generate publicity for the "No Game No Life: Zero" movie. A total of 5 episodes were recorded.

Letters Section: The hosts answer letters written in by listeners and chit-chat about whatever comes to mind.
The Programme for Overcoming Communication Disorders ("Komyusho", コミュ症): Since Sora and Shiro have huge problems in communicating with other people, Matsuoka and Kayano roleplay listener-submitted scenarios in order to figure out how to interact with others in a normal social setting. The segment Matsuoka dreads the most.

[BLANK], Two-as-One: Matsuoka and Kayano answer a series of 5 listener-submitted questions and try to get their answers to match. (A reference to Sora and Shiro's combined identity / username.)
