Box 39

It might be coming home.. 

72 hours from England's appearance in the final of Euro 2020 (played in July 2021), Box 39 investigates the glories of the beautiful game, from England's own performance, the tournament itself, as well as reflecting on Women's football in the Tokyo Olympics and the World Cup in Qatar, in just  16 months time. 

It's a great show, packed full of analysis, emotion, chat, passion and the best music.

With Bill Lawrance, Adrian Coen, Craig Barker & Bryn Griffiths.

Box 39 is live, sailing on the Ocean wave, from Studio One at Colne Radio Towers this week. 

Our oceans cover 71 percent of the Earth's surface and contain 97 percent of the Earth's water, their currents govern the world's weather and we all depend on these teeming waters for comfort and survival. With two experts in the studio to help, Bill Lawrance and Jo Coldwell set sail to investigate.  Eleanor Church is a documentary filmmaker & photographer, and Leanne Hepburn is the Director of Education, Senior Lecturer in Marine Science & Conservation at the University of Essex.

And there's great music too, of course.

Live from Studio One, the Box 39 brigade consider the impact of our dreams on human culture - whether in music, poetry, art, language, our dreams have affected the course of History itself, and remain reflections of our condition as well as being drivers of our destinies.  

With dream catchers in hand, Bill and Mike investigate what inspires us to dream...and meet Steven Spielberg, Morgan Freeman and Martin Luther King along their journey.  And with outrageously great music too, including live House Band Ausgang Solo.

New owner 'Lord David Price Digital Media' has taken everyone on a team bonding event, leaving just Bill and Adrian in the studio.  With only a new Russian based search engine, some fruit, and texts from listeners, will Bill and Ade get through the show?

The unique 'Wall of Radio Sound' from Box 39 must prevail!

Using the Colne Radio sportscar and credit card, Bill and Natalie journey to the city of Brighton, known as 'The Happiest place in England' and just a few hours from NE Essex. They visit a range of places in this seaside city that celebrates individuality - and soon find  a strong sense of community reflected in the history, architecture, shopping, literature and people.  

With great music, vegetarian shoes and a flock of seagulls.

Live from the rooftop botanical gardens at Colne Radio Towers, this is an exploration of that special friend within our homes, the humble House Plant. We might love them or loathe them, but we can't ignore them!

With deft watering, clever leaf polishing, expert compost fiddling - and with the best music too - this is award-winning green fingered radio!

Live from Studio One at Colne Radio Towers, an exploration of those influences that helped form the Baby Boomers and Generation X, way before the new world order of Generations Y and Z, the Millennials and Centennials…  

With cultural references and great music from those times, this is unashamed nostalgia, pulled out of Box 39, with flourishes and flares...

With Bill Lawrance, Adrian Coen and Iain Tallentire

Live in the Studio, and with the possibilities of travel once more as the global pandemic begins to subside, Box 39 examines our Dream Destinations.   But where should you go, and what would make your travelling easier and better value for money?  With a recommendation for every continent, and one for domestic holidays in the UK as well, Bill and Steve carry you around the entire world, playing great music at every venue  - and House Band Ausgang Solo squirt gorgeous and original sounds in your ears as you go...

Live in the Studio, with just 100 days before the postponed Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games is scheduled to begin.  But are the Olympic Games broken, with a lack of interest from the public, corruption rife and overwhelming debt for decades for the host city?   Or does the legacy of the Games make it all worthwhile?  With performance enhancing drugs on their mind, Bill and Iain play great music for the occasion and House Band Ausgang Solo keep the whole show on track.
