Wholly Buyable
Advertising Creative Director Chas Bayfield takes you on a road trip through the Bible, leaving one significant item of baggage at home- religion. He tells the story from Genesis to Revelation and explains how this more than any other book has impacted western culture. Wholly Buyable is a podcast for people who might never normally pick up a Bible but who feel they should perhaps know a little more about it than they currently do. After all, the Bible is a book for everyone, not just believers. Listeners will be taken through action sequences worthy of a 21st century TV drama. They will be seduced by erotic poetry and bombarded with hallucinatory visions. Fill your boots with betrayal, brutality, beauty and, believe it or not, comedy. This isn’t your average Bible podcast; no one will be told what to believe but everyone who joins in the journey will hopefully feel that they know the world’s best-selling book a little better.
Wholly Buyable
17: The Finger of God (Exodus 7-11)
Unlikely as it may seem, Moses is now the leader of over a million Hebrew slaves.
What happens next is one of the most incredible sequences of events in the Bible, and one which cements in the Israelites’ minds that God is a) powerful and b) very much has their backs.
Over and again, later books in the Bible turn their readers minds back to these events that play out in the Nile Delta as Moses and Aaron lock into a furious battle of wills against Egypt’s stubborn king.
This is the Bible at its most epic. The onslaught against Egypt is about to begin.
