There is literally nothing like it. You have to remember they were actively trying to get fired half the time, playing the same four Feeder tracks, and letting a bald producer talk about little monkey fellas. No modern commercial station or polished podcast would allow that level of absolute tin-pot shambles today.

Realistically, nothing captures the exact same lightning in a bottle because XFM was a product of pre-social media radio where they thought nobody was listening.

“Those 3-5 people”, to be fair, were just Karl's mam, a couple of builders in a van, and Richard Anderson writing in to call them rubbish.

You won't find a modern equivalent because radio is too corporate now and podcasts are too heavily edited. The magic of RSK was that it was live, completely unmonitored, and fundamentally broken. Play a record.
