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.

Paranoid Visions later did a cover of that track by The Threat.
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.
