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.
Wholly Buyable
201: Two Whores (Ezekiel 23-24)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This is one of the most remarkable set of chapters in the entire Bible.
And that's a Bible that includes the creation of the earth, a boat filled with animals, a man swallowed by a giant fish and a man who comes back to life after being executed.
In one eye-popping passage, the cities of Samaria and Jerusalem are likened to a couple of nymphomaniacs, and in another, Ezekiel's wife is killed as a lesson to the rest of Judah.
It's a must-listen episode, but sadly, one for adults only.
