Box 39

Live from Mission Control at The Space Centre, expert David Nash joins Bill as he prepares to become the first Radio Presenter in Space. It’s a tense last few minutes before lift-off to the International Space Station. Bill’s got his space suit, a badge, and his ticket. What could possibly go wrong…?

Our live studio show explores the sounds, sights and even the smells of the Lake District, perhaps our best loved national park.  It seduced Wordsworth and Beatrix Potter, and it attracts sightseers, walkers and adventurers.  The plentiful lakes and striking fells rise above hill farms and villages, and time moves slowly, as places remain as remembered, from season to season and from year to year.

With Bill Lawrance, Adrian Coen & Bob May

Live from Studio One, Box 39 takes a deep dive into the world of writing to discover exactly how writers work and think, and to reveal what really is involved in their business -  with best selling authors Ian Hornett & Angela Cairns.  And great music too.

In short, the grooviest things. And with gorgeous music too!

What you are about to hear is not an experiment – nor is it science fiction. It is very real indeed. Using highly sophisticated, sensitive and quite secret technology, our doctors and scientists are able to plug into the subconscious mind of Mr Arthur Crabtree, to monitor secret thoughts and music that have until now remained hidden. Our journey is to the remote parts of his psyche.  It will not hurt him, but it may disturb us. This is indeed a unique and dazzling radio experience.

With Bill Lawrance & Adrian Coen.
