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
139: The Sea that Fled in Fear (Psalms 112-117)
We're all familiar with the phrase "Hallelujah".
A heartfelt shout of joy uttered by religious and non religious alike.
It first makes landfall in a series of Psalms known, unsurprisingly, as the Halel.
We run into these songs here and find that they contain the shortest chapter in the entire Bible, a song that punches above its weight.
Expect euphoria.
