Any bag will do just be mindful of the bags surface being in direct sunlight as things warm up. Most plants wont appreciate if their root temperatures getting to the point of cooking (side of the bags get too hot from direct sunlight). So place your sack out of direct sunlight while allowing the seedlings leaves to get the light or place the bags behind something to deflect the excess sunlight (blocking light from the bag not from the plant). Though that same sunlight can help you create a warmer micro climate to germinate some seeds earlier by warming the soil.

You can grow just about any vegetable in a bag, Krissie. I use polypropylene bags (e.g., reuseable grocery bags, empty feed bags, and cheap sandbags (the kind they use to hold back floodwaters).
Fill your bag with a mixture of good starter mix and compost (six-eight inches will be plenty deep for radishes), add water, plant your seeds, and keep them in a sunny spot. (By the way, radish leaves make a tasty addition to soups and stir-fries, and if your plants go to seed, the seedpods are yummy in salads and cooked dishes, too.)
