Go to Post Programming isn't that hard once you get the hang of it. It has a steep learning curve like math. One day your trying to figure out 1 1, then the next day they throw x and y at you. Once you understand what x and y represent and learn to think in terms of functions, it's as easy as pi. - sciguy125 [more]

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.
Sorry, I wasn't around then, so I can't help. Ask Baker.

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...
