This August edition of The Gene Radio Show was presented by Maxine, joined by members of the Girlguiding team, including Guides and Rangers. The programme shared an update on what Guiding has been doing lately, emphasising that it provides opportunities for fun and engagement not just for girls, but also for adults who volunteer.
The discussions covered a range of recent summer camps and important local Guiding news from across the county. The team also highlighted various other exciting activities that members have been involved in, and the programme featured a special welcome from Rosie.

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.
