Same. I'm still not sure myself but think about it like this: producers do whatever a director doesn't do. It can be from making sure the set is ready on time to making sure there's a coherent vision between everyone involved. It's a really big tent. A lot of the time a producer is the guy that hires a director or screenwriter in the first place. That's why there's always a ton of them in the credits. Executive Producer is basically anyone you want to credit but they didn't do enough to get a full producer billing.
For a radio show like MR the producer is the person looking out that things run during while the host does the hosting. So taking listener calls, puting in ad breaks, going live, monitoring levels and the broadcast. Things like that.
i used to think producers just like give money and take credit. what do they do other than be rich?
