PUNC is a radio show and occasional fanzine by a punk in Dublin. It's usually about punk music in Ireland.
The PUNC show resumed broadcast on Near FM on February the 19th, 2026. It has continued to run weekly since then (with occasional weeks off).
PUNC is broadcast at 6pm every Thursday.

Notes:
(promoting the PD show)
Your Debs ball was in a hotel in Offaly and you didn't get back to Dublin until 6am because the bus broke down outside Naas. Now you're ready to raid the McDonald's on O'Connell Street....
Thanks to Chris for doing the interview, and thanks also to Declan and Rodrigo in Near FM.
Get in touch if you know why Pansy Division's Irish shows were cancelled in the 90s
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 of past shows available online very soon. There are some issues with licensing and file hosting.
