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.

147: The Honeytrap (Proverbs 4-8)
"Come, let us drink deeply of love till morning. Let us enjoy ourselves with love!"
Such is the siren call of the adulterous older woman, intent on seducing a foolish yet lustful young man while her husband is away on business.
This is a one way street from which there is no return, Solomon advises his son,
It is fair to say this is one of the more colourful sections of the Bible, but it is far from gratuitous.
Another woman also takes centre stage in the Book of Proverbs: Wisdom. And unlike the adulteress, she offers life instead of death.
