The Pulse Wave
⚡ Defense tech meets dysfunction.
Hosted by Virgil Virga, The Pulse Wave is where sharp satire meets serious analysis on the state of American defense, readiness, innovation, and government gridlock. Each episode cuts through the noise with bold takes, fast-paced panel banter, and zero tolerance for bureaucratic BS.
Whether it's recruiting wars, AI myths, shutdown fights, or military standards gone soft — we're talking about it. With guests who actually know the space and co-hosts who don’t pull punches.
Built for Earth.
Ready for orbit.
And built for a country trying to figure out the difference between defense and dysfunction.
