Well, there are radio tuner cards you can get which will allow you to
tune into radio stations on your computer.

But the easiest way to record radio shows would be to get yourself a
3.5mm-3.5mm (1/8"-1/8") patch cable, and connect it from the
headphone-out of a radio, to the line-in of the computer.

Then you can use any audio-recording program to record the radio shows.
I recommend AudioGrabber; unless I'm mistaken, it has the ability to do
recordings on a timer so you don't have to be in front of the computer.
