KVGM “The Last Wave” (3/26/23)

KVGM “The Last Wave” (3/26/23)

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 the Last Wave on KVGM with your host, Hammock, bringing you thirty minutes of the best video game jams(z) from all your favorite composers and consoles, each and every week from our beachside studio in sunny Aqua City Island. Sit back, relax, and get ready to catch…the Last Wave.

Hammock’s back from Peru, a changed Hammock. A better Hammock, renewed, reborn, reinvigorated…and now trying to re-integrate back into the real world while keeping the Last Wave afloat. It’s possible…but that means less of an internet presence and more of a real life presence. But the jams will continue for now, and this week’s episode is jam packed, with plenty to satisfy all the papacitos and mamacitas in the house.

While Hammock is still in an airplane somewhere over the Pacific, he’s brought in yet another special guest host to cover in his absence — this time, it’s Norm aka Normally Retro! You can check out Norm’s incredibly hilarious video series, A Question of Character, but Norm is also a purveyor of smooth video game jams and he brought the heat on this week’s episode. Enjoy!
