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
21: Death or Money (Exodus 21-22)
The Hebrew slaves are slowly being converted from mass labourers in the brickyards of Egypt to a refined, humane, respectable and modern nation. They achieve this by listening attentively to their leader, Moses who they believe is channelling the actual words of God. These words inform them of a new way to live that has morality and compassion at its centre.
In this episode, slaves are given rights, revenge loses its sting and compensation becomes a thing.
