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.

103: The Sharks (Nehemiah 5-9)
Jerusalem's wall may be rebuilt but Nehemiah's problems are far from over.
There are people in his midst who are happy to betray him.
There are also people within Israel who are denying their fellow citizens human rights, and who seem happy to exploit tose less well off than them.
It's time to go back to basics.
To reboot the nation spiritually as well as physically.
It makes life harder for Nehemiah but having started the project, the cupbearer to the King of Persia seems determined to finish it.
Chapters covered: Nehemiah 5-9.
