| 52: Added Dimensions + Silo Kids | 02 Oct 2025 | 01:16:34 | |
Evan went to Gonerfest and all he got was a sore throat (and, of course, pretty sick...and a bunch of records). Nina saw that huge Turnstile show. In the midst of exciting weekends at the gigs, they recorded this episode of Punk This Week and found themselves exploring a psychological breakdown of all things Kermit. This intro is long; we get to the records around 29-minute mark. Discussed this time are new records from Added Dimensions, Silo Kids, Genre, Nosepick, Permanent Opposite, and Property.

| 51: Nape Neck + The Prize | 23 Sep 2025 | 01:02:50 | |
Evan gets his ass kicked for his ranking of Kermit the Frog in the greater Muppets universe and then cocoons fully into his stereotype of only talking about Australian punk bands. It’s an episode about new records from Nape Neck, the Prize, Billiam, Deaf Club, GOB, and the Quelques coups d'éclat compilation. Find full show notes on see-saw.fun!

As summer winds down, we’re making apple butter, discovering the actual contents of apple butter, and feeling wistful about the changing of seasons with records by Vaguess, Lathe of Heaven, An Slua, Retirement Party, and Carnivorous Flower.

Did we expect to watch the entire trailer for the Anthony Michael Hall-starring fantasy adventure flop A Gnome Named Gnorm when we set out to record this episode? No, but when you’re covering the new one from Gnomocop, you legally have to do the research. The episode also features new records from Mr. [Redacted], Mar De Árboles, Sick Thoughts, Ways of Hiding, and Harry Sings.

| Bonus Pod!: Overlooked Punk Favorites of 2025 | 31 Jul 2025 | 00:01:59 | |
This entire year except for those two weeks off, punk this week hosts Nina Corcoran and Evan Minsker have podcasted about six new punk records each week. Some of those weeks, we walked away with that sinking feeling: Shit, we missed one. Sometimes the best emo record of the year slips by because there were too many good options that week. Maybe it took months for a demo to find its way to YouTube from basement show cassette treasure. Therefore, we have called to order a punk this week special titled “overlooked punk favorites of 2025 so far.” It’s the same format—we each pick three—but this time focused on six year-end contender records we didn’t cover so far this year. This one’s for the paid subscribers. By subscribing to see/saw, you’ve been kind enough to support this podcast that’s honestly just an excuse for us to hang out during snack time and listen to loud music. Throw us a coin or barter your way across the paywall. Paid subscribers also get the weekly column Punk This Week and the see/saw radio archive. More importantly, they get the gratitude of two punk journalists from the Midwest. | |||
| 44: Golomb + Guyscrapers | 29 Jul 2025 | 00:53:41 | |
This week, a perfect slice of homemade triple berry pie turns around an arduous moving day, we pay tribute to Ichiro Suzuki’s Baseball Hall of Fame induction and perfect rapport with his dog, and the term “Cocteau Twins cash” is officially coined. We brought the latest from Golomb, Guyscrapers, G.I. Bill, Lash, Light Beams, and Los Retumbes. Thanks to Baby Tyler Band for use of our theme song “Needs” off their self-titled album.

| 43: Panic Shack + Scud | 22 Jul 2025 | 01:00:09 | |
Our hosts ponder if Chester Cheetah has too many snack subsidiaries going at the same time, and then snack talk extends into punk talk with a revelation about Fiddle Faddle product placement. We brought records by Panic Shack, Scud, Catchin’ Yetis, Visual Learner, Jug & the Bugs, and FRENZY. Also discussed: Michael Stipe (bye!), what’s on the rider for the graveyard prog metal show, and how jug punks are busting MJ Lenderman’s wristwatch monopoly.

| 42: Eddy Current Suppression Ring + Tunnel Vision | 15 Jul 2025 | 01:03:51 | |
What does it mean to build community through a punk rock podcast? It means unintentionally encouraging listeners to show up to see/saw events bearing Frostie. We discussed new records by Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Tunnel Vision, Powerplant, DÄÄCHT, AYUCABA, and Sluta Ljug. Also discussed: Eddy Current’s non-EP single “Swimming Hole,” new albums by Cruelster and Dona Casque, the punk rock baking community, friends of Heat (1995), and the hazards of Rev’d Up Sprecher root beer.

| 41: Inch + Yuasa-Exide + boo/hiss | 09 Jul 2025 | 01:04:52 | |
An innocent conversation about iced fluffy and Frostie Root Beer leads to a feverish research session about the Dog N Suds chain of restaurants, its mascot’s center of gravity, and whether or not our hosts will record a live episode at one of the remaining Dog N Suds locations. This episode—featuring conversations about new records by Inch, Boo/Hiss + Yuasa-Exide, the Couch, Useless Eaters, Screaming Target, and Tokarev—was not sponsored by Dog N Suds or The Materialists.

Summer rolls on as the co-hosts of Punk This Week share some thoughts about M3GAN 2.0 and some secondhand family gossip about Michael Stipe allegedly (allegedly!) being rude one time.
