Sunday, 1 September 2024
The Gene Radio Show for September 2024 welcomed Maxine to the studio, where she was joined by girls representing Rainbows, Brownies, Guides, and Rangers. This edition marked the start of the new guiding year, with discussions centred on the important transitions girls experience as they move up between the different sections of Girlguiding.
A significant part of the programme highlighted the launch of Girlguiding's new Young Leader Development Program. This initiative was presented as a key theme, designed to encourage older girls within the organisation to embrace and develop leadership roles, supporting their growth and involvement.

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.
