PUNC: News from your area

PUNC is a radio show and occasional fanzine by a punk in Dublin. It's usually about punk music in Ireland.

The PUNC show will resume broadcast on Near FM at 6pm on February the 19th. It will continue to run weekly for at least the next 12 weeks.

For requests and comments during or after the show, email me.

Programme Information

If you're in north-east Dublin or thereabouts, you can tune your radio to 90.3fm and receive the show that way. If you're out of our range, you can stream the show live on the Near FM website, or tune in with any of various online radio streaming app.

The show is recorded during broadcast and I have an archive of past episodes. I hope to make recordings available online very soon. There are some issues with licensing and file hosting.

What about the zines?

Since 2022 I have been publishing a PUNC zine at sporadic intervals, with the assistance of many contributors.

The most recent issue was released in January 2026. The radio show came first, but the zine and the radio transmissions are mutually reinforcing.

For more about the zines plus PDFs of back issues, go to /zines.html.

I do occasionally discuss zines on the radio show and I am interested in interviewing zine editors.
