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
32. The Blasphemer (Leviticus 22-24)
Leviticus 22-24
Drama in the desert. After what seems an eternity of lawgiving, the Bible bursts into the kind of action. we were spoiled with in the books of Genesis and Exodus. But let that not detract from the glory of what is a fabulously detailed book of legal code- one of the oldest surviving examples on the planet. How have these pages survived the millennia? Because for millions of people alive today, they matter.
