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.

200: The Slasher (Ezekiel 20-22)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
“A ruin! A ruin! I will make it a ruin!” Ezekiel shouts at Israel's Jews.
These, he says, are God's words, not his own, adding:
"I will gather you in my anger and my wrath and put you inside the city and melt you."
It's fair to say that God is not especially pleased with the people who are contractually obliged to worship him in exchange for their own eternal wellbeing.
Their worship of pagan gods has not gone down well with capital G God, and with thousands of Jews already in exile in Babylon - and Jerusalem about to fall - the good times are most definitely over.
