(Japanese: Pokémon Radio Show! ロケット団ひみつ帝国 Pokémon Radio Show! Rocket-dan's Secret Empire) is a radio program that aired on 76.1 interFM in Japan. It aired on Sunday evenings between 7:00 and 7:30 beginning July 1st, 2012 and ending December 23rd, 2012.

The radio show was hosted by Megumi Hayashibara, Shin'ichirō Miki and Inuko Inuyama in character as Jessie, James and Meowth. The premise of the radio show is that in order to recruit as much of Earth's population to Team Rocket as possible, the Team Rocket trio decide to broadcast a radio show in secret. Other voice actors from the Pokémon anime appeared on the show as guests, such as Yūji Ueda and Ikue Ohtani.

In 2011, Megumi Hayashibara, voice of Jessie and other characters, proposed to Pokémon's sound director Masafumi Mima that she wanted him to prepare "Team Rocket's Late Nights Radio" for the Team Rocket trio to appear in. Masafumi Mima, who is a great fan of Team Rocket himself, agreed to the idea, and said to his his Twitter on May 6, 2012:

Japanese English
ニャース、ムサシ、コジロウ三人の大人しか聴けないラジオ番組!楽しいと思うんだけどなぁ〜。何故、クールなロケット団になったのか?とか、表では語れない、そんなロケット団の事情〜。ゲストはサカキ様?ソーナンス?グレッグル?よーし!企画書でも書くか!でも、何処へ出せば? The trio of Meowth, Jessie and James's radio program that only adults could listen to! I think it would be fun... Why did they become cool Team Rocket? Or, something they can't talk about openly, such Team Rocket's considerations… Giovanni as a guest? Wobbuffet? Croagunk? Alright! Even if it's just a proposal, I'll write it! But, where should I submit it?

Later, in June 2012, a Twitter account (now defunct) was created, named "Team Rocket's Secret Empire". This Twitter account was updated in-character by Giovanni and other members of Team Rocket. A silhouette image of the Team Rocket trio was the first Tweet made on the account. Later, when the radio show was revealed to the public, the Twitter account was used for a time to continue promoting the series.

CD releases

Following the conclusion of the radio show in December 2012, four CD releases were announced compiling segments from the radio program. The first of these CDs, Volume 1 - Musashi Edition has already been released. Aside from segments that were broadcasted on the series, this CD also includes six "Musashi" tracks, which are in-character interviews with Jessie that are all-new to the album release.
