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.

24: God's Creative Director (Exodus 29-31)
Chapters covered: Exodus 29-31
It’s hard to know what Moses must be thinking.
God may have an extensive shopping list but he appears to not be taking into account the reality of the Israelites’ current situation.
The Israelites are in a desert in a landlocked nation having fled Egypt, but somehow need to provide dyes made from sea snails and hides from seacows as well as sourcing some of the rarest gemstones on the planet.
It’s a huge ask, but God appears to know exactly who Moses needs to help make this happen.
