Huh.
According to Some Website, Yeah Nah Pasaran! is one of the ‘Best 50 Anarchist Podcasts’ going. FWIW, it’s an odd compilation: there’s only 42, not 50, podcasts listed, only some of which could be considered anarchist, with a number of others being some (other) species of leftist or radikal (or indeed proprietarian). In addition, missing from the list are a number of fairly well-established anarchist podcasts. In any case, the listing prompted me to review what’s actually Out There …
To begin with, and based on the compilation referred to above, there’s:
• ABC With Danny and Jim: ‘A podcast for discussions of radical history books and interviews with historians.’
• Anarchist World This Week: Dr Joe Toscano presents ‘an anarchist analysis on local, national and international news and events. Distributed nationally on the Community Radio Network’.
• A-Radio Network: ‘A platform of anarchist and anti-authoritarian radios.’
• Audible Anarchism: ‘A podcast broadcasting Anarchist texts and audiobooks.’
• The Beautiful Idea: (via It’s Going Down).
• Channel Zero: ‘Channel Zero Network is an anarchist radio/podcast network run by radical media makers.’
• Everyday Anarchism: ‘How does anarchist philosophy apply to our everyday lives? Every other week, we’ll discuss why a piece of your life or culture is all about Mutual Aid.’
• The Ex-Worker: ‘A Podcast of Anarchist Ideas and Action For Everyone Who Dreams of a Life Off the Clock’ (via CrimethInc).
• The Final Straw Radio: is a weekly anarchist radio show.
There’s also the following (non-exhaustive, English-language) radio shows/podcasts, which are either explicitly anarchist (or broadly sympathetic), and/or discuss subjects of interest to anarchists and other anti-authoritarians from a radikal perspective.
• Anarchist Essays: ‘Brought to you by Loughborough University’s Anarchism Research Group (ARG), Anarchist Essays presents leading academics, activists, and thinkers exploring themes in anarchist theory, history, and practice.’
• anarchysf: is ‘an open-source repository of anarchist or anarchy-adjacent science fiction’, including a podcast.
• Black Autonomy: is ‘a series of discussions on anarchism and the relevance of its revolutionary ideals to the ongoing Black Liberation Movement. The show is hosted by JoNina Abron-Ervin and Lorenzo Kom’boa Ervin, two veteran organizers, former Black Panther Party members and co-founders of the Black Autonomy Federation.’
• Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff: ‘As long as there’s been oppression, there’ve been people fighting it. This weekly podcast dives into history to drag up the wildest rebels, the most beautiful revolts, and all the people who long to be—and fight to be—free.’ Hosted by Margaret Killjoy.
• Cool Zone Media: hosts a number of relevant podcasts, including Behind The Bastards.
• The Dugout: is ‘a podcast of radical thought, dissent, and liberation, hosted by Jordan and Prince — two unapologetically Black anarchist hosts’.
• Freedom News: is a venerable anarchist publisher.
• From The Periphery: is ‘a worker-owned media collective focusing on centering voices, struggles, and ideas that are otherwise made peripheral under mainstream journalism’, and hosts a number of podcasts.
• Indymedia: on Perth’s RTR is a weekly radio show and podcast, exploring news and views from the radical grassroots.
• Last Born In The Wilderness: is ‘a podcast about transitions, death, the ruptures of life in between.’
• Live Like the World is Dying: is ‘your podcast for what feels like the end times’, hosted by Margaret Killjoy.
• Movement Memos: is a Truthout podcast, hosted by Kelly Hayes, who ‘connects with activists, journalists and others on the front lines’.
• The Non Serviam Media Collective is dedicated to ‘exploring the world of anarchist and anti-authoritarian ideas’.
• The Wobbly One Big Podcast is committed to One Big Union.
• Propaganda By the Seed: is a ‘podcast about perennial plants and trees associated with food forests, permaculture, and restorative agriculture’.
• Seeds of Revolution: is the podcast published by Camas Books & Infoshop, ‘founded in 2007 to support the decolonization struggles of Indigenous peoples in the region known as British Columbia and beyond’.
• The Skeptical Leftist: is a podcast that promotes ‘critical thinking, social justice, and left wing politics by covering current events and talking to a variety of people’.
• SRSLY WRONG: is wrogn, utopian and leftist.
• sub.media: hosts several podcasts, including Circle (A).
• The Working Class History podcast is ‘about all of those who have fought for a better world’.

Many thanks @ndy. I’m listening to some of these already (including, of course, yours). But I’ll probably add some more to the playlist.
As well, there’s Little Bigger Anarchism, out of the UK. One of the hosts is involved in Class War.
“The developers say that these developments are bringing money into the area, so people think we’ll have some of this money, we’ll go and take it off the bastards who are moving in. So when they see someone, you know, umm guzzling Indonesian sea-weed in the local brasserie and their scrapping together money for a pint of Melvin; they quite rightly say, let’s have a bit of ah redistribution of the wealth in the here and now not in some visionary socialist society in the future.”
There is “The Child and its Enemies”, out of the USA.
Resonance, which seems to be stalled (last post 2022, previous, 2020), if you want to listen to your texts rather than read them.
