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.

195: The UFO (Ezekiel 1-4)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ezekiel's vision at the beginning of his book is so other-worldly that he barely has words to describe it.
What follows is a dramatic life change for a man who has already been wrenched from the comfort of priestly life at the Jerusalem temple and into exile in Babylon.
Among other things, the prophet is ordered to eat a scroll, lie on one side for over a year, and cook on a fire fuelled by his own excrement.
It's a lively and dramatic start to one of the Bible's most vivid and powerful books.
