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.

165: Drunken Vomit (Isaiah 19-23)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Isaiah's tirade against Israel's neighbours continues, and with it come vivid descriptions of Near Eastern Mediterranean trade in the eighth century BC.
But God's fury doesn't stop with pagan kingdoms and empires; Judah too is in the firing line.
Oh, and in this episode, the prophet also strips naked, and remains "au naturel" for three years.
Truly, there is nothing in the Bible quite like the Book of Isaiah!
