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
133: A Bowl of Tears (Psalms 79-84)
We're halfway through the Book of Psalms and we're hitting peak poetry.
To the psalmist, one day in God's courts is worth a thousand elsewhere.
He would sooner work as a humble temple guard than live in luxury with his enemy.
Adoration of God is the order of the day, interspersed with the occasional request to God to pour out his fury on any nations that do not worship him.
As ever, these songs continue to sing to their own tune.
