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
19: The Great Ocean Road (Exodus 14-16)
Pharaoh cannot believe that a single moment of weakness has lost him his entire Hebrew workforce.
He has his chariot prepared for battle and gathers his army.
He commissions 600 chariots which gallop out of Ramses toward the Israelite camp.
When the Egyptians are almost on top of them, the terrified refugees cry out to God
What happens next is one of the most epic events in the Bible and one which is repeated over and again in the Old Testament to remind the Jews of how God rescued them from Egypt.
With the hooves of the Egyptian horses bearing down on him and the million or so slaves who are depending on him to lead them to safety looking up at him, Moses stands facing the sea and once again raises his staff.
