Almost all of the shows had the word "caper" in the title, which may be an important aspect, or maybe because it was a radio show there is something about radios or their frequencies involved. Maybe others who actually heard the show would know about any common themes and could enlighten us.

p.s. This is not a hint. But people won't believe it is not a hint, even when they are told that it is not. So go ahead and analyze the heck out of it. Let me know if you figure anything out...
