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.

215: The Murder Priests (Hosea 5-9)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The narrative moves on from Hosea and his promiscuous wife to a full on diatribe against Israel.
The nation is ruled by adulterers whose sins burn like an oven so hot that it doesn't need stoking for over two hours.
God is furious with his people, particularly those in charge of everyone's spirituality, and Hosea spells out the punishments they can expect from God.
There will be consequences, and violence is coming.
