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
132: The Grapes of Wrath (Psalms 75-78)
Who knew?
The title of John Steinbeck's classic has its origins in the Book of Psalms.
Join us as the Jews' epic song book passes its midway point.
This episode sees the song of a man who seems so broken he cannot speak, and we hear of women who have no more tears left to weep.
There is also a history lesson courtesy of the second longest song in the book.
All delivered religion free for those of you who simply want to know what actually goes on between the Bible's flimsy, gilt edged pages.
