Sunday, 2 October 2016
This October 2016 edition of The Gene Radio Show saw Maxine joined by girls from Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers. The main theme of the programme was the U-Jourve Voice 2016 Weekend in London, organised by Girlguiding. The girls shared their experiences from the event, discussing workshops and the importance of passion in sharing their voices.
The girls recounted their time at the U-Jourve Voice 2016 Weekend, thanking Girlguiding Laser, London and South East region for the opportunity. Highlights included a Suffragette-themed tour of the House of Lords and Commons, and a quick tour of a ship. They also heard from Helen Beach of Bryant, who was introduced as the lead volunteer, and discussed the World Board of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts.

About this show
The Gene Radio Show was made by Girl Guides, and you could hear it. This was Girlguiding Essex North East’s own programme: Maxine J in the chair, and a rotating crew of young co-hosts from units across the county. They talked about guiding life, swapped community stories, and got politicians and celebrities to sit still for a chat. For more than a decade the microphone belonged to the Guides.
It started on Saint FM 94.7 in Maldon on 3 May 2009. That station has since closed. The on-air seventh birthday landed on 1 May 2016, which is how the Saint FM years add up to 71 editions, the last of them on 1 March 2015. Gene then moved to Chelmsford Community Radio, first Sunday of the month, beginning 5 April 2015 and running until 2 August 2026: 137 editions on CCR, and 133 editions still in the listen-again Jukebox archive. The show has now ended.
