In Episode 1 of Seiyuu Radio no Uraomote, voice actresses Yuuhi and Yasumi, who happen to be classmates at the same high school, host a radio show about high school life. Surprised and delighted by their unexpected reunion in the radio world, they reflect on the fate that brought them together in this unique situation. Yasumi admits that she still feels awkward and unaccustomed to the radio format, a sentiment echoed by Yuuhi, who finds hosting the premiere episode challenging.

The episode also introduces other characters like Otome, Yumiko, and Wakana, shedding light on their interactions and relationships within the voice-acting industry. Yumiko reveals her dual identity: privately a gyaru and publicly a polished idol voice actress. She expresses frustration over the gap between her true self and her idol persona, as well as her inability to land major roles despite her efforts.

A conflict arises when a misunderstanding between Chika and Yumiko leads to a heated exchange. Chika criticizes the idol industry and the artificiality of fame, which Yumiko passionately defends.

The episode ends with the revelation that the feuding Yumiko and Chika will co-host a radio show together—something neither of them knew until then. This twist sets the stage for future episodes, where the two must navigate their new roles together despite their clashing personalities.
