punk this week podcast 39: media puzzle + nuclear fear
It's hot and humid in the Midwest, so we’re beating the heat with six killer new punk records


Punk This Week is see/saw’s weekly podcast from co-hosts Evan Minsker and Nina Corcoran—a discussion of the latest and greatest in the world of punk rock. We talk about six new punk records we’re loving from the past week.
Our Midwestern punk pod duo are trying to beat the heat wave, which of course means they’re jumping in the pool, eating ice cream, and sweating it out at punk shows. This time they’re chatting about new records from media puzzle, Nuclear Fear, Mary Jam, Billiam, Skinhead, and Olive Seeds: An International Benefit for Mutual Aid in Gaza. We’d strongly encourage you to dive into the bigger pile of Gaza benefit punk compilations from last year.
Thanks to Baby Tyler Band for use of our theme song “Needs” off their self-titled album. Thanks to Waylon Thornton for the bumpers. Thanks to Tyler Nickell for the podcast’s artwork.
