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.

We’ve got a kid friendly show for the most part, with only one naughty PC visual novel but the rest…no problemo! We’ve got mahjong, fishing, chess, and a return to the Legend of Heroes series, as well as an arranged track and a too-cool-for-school request.
