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.

188: Blinded and Burned (Jeremiah 39-43)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Finally! Some action.
Jeremiah reports from the front line of the siege as Judah's renegade king bolts for freedom.
Reprisals follow, some especially grisly, but the drama doesn't end there.
Where there is a ball to be dropped, Judah appears to have any number of clowns to drop it, even after the nation has fallen to Babylon.
You can almost see Jeremiah clutching his head in despair, and its no wonder they call him the weeping prophet.
In Judah, there is plenty to weep about.
