KVGM "The Last Wave"

Do you hear that sound? Can you feel it? The cool ocean breeze in your hair, the salt on your tongue. It’s the smooth crash of KVGM “The Last Wave”, with your host, Hammock. A biweekly VGM podcast bringing you the jammiest video game music from all your favorite composers and consoles. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch…the Last Wave.

This week, we celebrate SIX YEARS on the air, which is hard to believe but we did it…despite where we are in the world currently and how grim the future may be…but you know, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade…and once you’ve made lemonade, add some green tea and make an Arnold Palmtree. We take a break from our usual anniversary format to bring you fresh uplifting jams…because when life gives you boysenberries…you know how it goes. THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING SIX YEARS A REALITY!
