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.

77: The Half Child (1 Kings 3-7)

After the roller coaster of David's warlike reign, things settle down a little with his son, Solomon in charge.
This is where Israel enters a golden age.
Where David fights and suppresses rebellions from his own sons, Solomon builds.
Using the wealth hoarded by his father, he constructs a temple and palaces and enjoys a life of unrivalled opulence.
Still, he is known for more than just his wealth.
According to the Bible, Solomon is not just Israel's wisest king, he is one of the wisest men who has ever lived.
