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.

Boxing, golf, seabass fishing, Winter Olympics, detective shenanigans, hospital simulation,  and of course, a little wholesome visual novel action for the lovers in the crowd. The jams keep jamming out of control but we wouldn’t want it any other way. And if you’ve ever wanted to join KVGM as an unpaid summer intern, we’re now accepting accepting applications at kvgmradio@gmail.com.
