July was the White Tiger Radio Summer Contest. Listeners were challenged to find the hidden theme with the promise of winning a major prize. The listening audience made every effort to secure the major prize even as the hosts experienced technical difficulties which, despite promises made on the air, carried over into the podcast. No listener was able to guess the theme of the show, so the major prize remains unclaimed.
