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
91: The Death Angel (2 Kings 19-23)
Terrified that Jerusalem will fall, one of Judah's holiest kings, Hezekiah seeks the help of the holiest man he knows, the prophet Isaiah.
The result is one of the biggest acts of carnage in the Bible.
However, Hezekiah's son Manasseh is an absolute horror show, a man who thinks nothing of sacrificing his own children, and it is left to Israel's final devout king, Josiah to try and bring his nation back from the edge of oblivion.
Chapters covered: 2 Kings 19-23
