punk this week podcast: the best punk records of 2025

Punk This Week is see/saw’s free weekly podcast from co-hosts Evan Minsker and Nina Corcoran—a discussion of the latest and greatest in the world of punk rock. Usually, we talk about six new punk records we’re loving from the past week.

This is it! During our holiday travels to visit family, the two of us found two hours to sit in front of microphones and discuss our respective top three favorite punk records of the year. No spoilers in case you’re don’t want those, but click through the links for Evan’s top three and Nina’s top three.

Remember to grab a copy of see/saw’s physical newsprint broadsheet featuring the top 54 punk + rock'n'roll records of 2025. It includes writing from Evan, Nina, and other greats. Consider buying any and all beloved sickos a gift subscription to see/saw!
