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.

220: Darkness at Noon (Amos 5-8)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In a morally bankrupt Israel, a priest orders the shepherd-prophet Amos to take his message of doom back to Judah.
“Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there,” he tells him.
The man sees Amos' words as counter-cultural and offensive.
Telling Israel's spiritual leaders that they are wrong is treasonous, he says, as if patriotism trumps actually following God.
It's a powerful message, and proof that truth has been battling ideology for millennia.
