I really think that a show should focus on the story of Rebecca Roth (the Oregonian who is stuck in a Mexican jail for a crime she did not commit).  Margie Boule has been following her story and in today's Oregonian is her most recent article.  A story via the radio would educate more people about Roth and hopefully inspire them to take some action in an effort to set her free.  I know only what I have read in Boule's article and from the blog set up by Roth's ex-husband, there does not seem to be anything else out there.  A Canadian woman was arrested at the same time as Roth however her government pursued the case and the Canadian woman is free.  Rebecca Roth's nightmare has received little coverage (by any news organization) and I believe this is wrong.
