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.

146: The Adulterous Woman (Proverbs 1-4)
A new season begins.
This is the Book of Proverbs, a monster collection of aphorisms and other gems of knowledge culled by Israel's King Solomon and other wise ancients.
Much of the book is aimed at the king's children, but the wisdom is universal.
The opening section is a shot across the bows, a signal of what is to come before the floodgates open. An appetite whetter if you will.
As with the Bible's previous book, the Book of Psalms, there's not much story, but there is plenty or poetry. And, for those in need of wisdom and advice, there is also plenty to learn.
