Wholly Buyable

About 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.

   230: The Four Horsemen (Zechariah 1-6)

   A stone with seven eyes, a wall of fire, a ragged priest, women who fly with the wings of storks, a crown made from exile gold, chariots, a whirlwind. In one wild night, the prophet Zechariah is bombarded with visions, leading to one of the most colourful - and apocalyptic passages in the Bible.

   229: Blown Away (Haggai 1-2, Zechariah 1)

   The Jews' return to Jerusalem from their exile in Babylon should have been triumphant. Instead, they have rebuilt their own houses but left God's temple a ruin. For this, their harvests will fail and they will suffer economic hardship, the prophet Haggai tells them. Seemingly as a consequence of this half-heartedness, God threatens to shake things up so all nations, not just Israel, will experience what he describes as his glory. Haggai's book ends and the prophet-priest, Zechariah la...

   228: Entrails in the Dung Pile (Zephaniah 1-3)

   In jealous rage, God will consume the whole earth with fire, and all life will end suddenly in a catastrophic end time event for the planet. No one living in Jerusalem at the time the prophet Zephaniah is writing can say they haven’t been warned, but, there is hope. There is still time for Judah's people to turn things around, get a grip, humble themselves before God and try and do the right thing. With the finger of God about to land on the entire Near East, no one is safe, and Judah a...
