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.

184: The Lie (Jeremiah 26-29)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The last thing a prisoner in the ancient Near East is expected to do is buy land.
Especially when that land is currently being trampled by enemy armies.
Who might kill him.
Jeremiah's book is all about theatre, especially if that theatre can provide a teachable moment.
And so papyrus, ink, scales for weighing silver, sealing wax and witnesses are brought to the prophet's cell.
